Its the award Leonardo DiCaprio chased for decades before finally winning, the stage where Matthew McConaugheys heartfelt three things every day speech moved audiences around the world, and the moment where
stars, both new and established, find true validation. And in 2026, the competition for the golden statuette looks fiercer than ever.

Leading the battle are the Best Actor nominees, including Timothe Chalamet
for Marty Supreme , who has perhaps been the most vocal about his chase for greatness. But he faces some formidable competition, including Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another and Michael B. Jordan for Sinners . On the actresses side, Emma Stone for Bugonia is widely considered the
favourite, though Jessie Buckley delivered an equally compelling performance in Hamnet . In fact, it was a surprise that her co-star Paul Mescal did not receive a nomination.

But some lucky viewers in the UK and Australia, as well as in the US through a few sneaky methods can watch the entire three-and-a-half-hour spectacle completely free. Read on to find out how...
