Movies of War

The 2026 Oscars are here, and we’re following along with all the night’s winners and updating our list live below. Of course, Billboard will be paying special attention to the night’s two music categories: achievement in music written for motion pictures (original song) and achievement in music written for motion pictures (original score). Related 2026 Oscars Red Carpet: See the Best Photos There’s a chart-topping powerhouse in the song category: the eight-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Golden,” performed by HUNTR/X (EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI) for the Netflix animated blockbuster KPop Demon Hunters. Their competition? “I Lied to You” from Sinners (music and lyric by Raphael Saadiq and Ludwig Goransson) — which will also be performed during Sunday’s (March 15) show — as well as “Sweet Dreams of Joy” from Viva Verdi!, music and lyric by Nicholas Pike; “Train Dreams” from Train Dreams, music by Nick Cave and Bryce Dessner, lyric by Nick Cave; and “Dear Me” from Diane Warren: Relentless, music and lyric by the film’s subject and 17-time Oscar nominee Diane Warren. In the score category, there’s Bugonia (Jerskin Fendrix), Frankenstein (Alexandre Desplat), Hamnet (Max Richter), One Battle After Another (Jonny Greenwood), and Sinners (Goransson). But who will take home those prizes? We’ll be following all night as Conan O’Brien hosts the show live from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and you can follow along with us in our full winners list below.
