Oscars 2026 Winners List: The 98th Academy Awards ceremony are taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles today (Monday, March 16 as per IST), with Conan O’Brien returning to host for the second consecutive year. The ceremony is being held amid heightened security due to the ongoing attacks by the US and Israel on Iran and escalating political tensions across the globe.
