There’s already a lot of buzz about next year’s Oscars. But before I get caught up in all of that I finally got around to looking at the Oscar Race Results for 2026 and the numbers are interesting.
The 2026 Oscar race results for Fastest Actor in a Leading Role at 100 metres were:
- Michael B Jordan at 12.3 seconds
- Timothée Chalamet at 13.5 seconds
- Wagner Moura at 13.7 seconds
- Leonardo DiCaprio at 23.6 seconds
- Ethan Hawke at 26.1 seconds
Tough race – but Jordan beat Chalamet by more than a second. Chalamet stumbled a bit near the finish line. Leonardo and Ethan were a long way off the pace but then it gets tougher the older you get.
The 2026 Oscar race results for Fastest Actress in a Leading Role at 100 metres were:
- Jessie Buckley at 13.2 seconds
- Emma Stone at 14.5 seconds
- Rose Byrne at 18.5 seconds
- Renate Reinsve at 19.0 seconds
- Kate Hudson at 23.3 seconds
Interesting to see that Jessie Buckley beat out Chalamet so that does suggest you could simply have a best actor category and not worry about gender. I mean all the women beat both Leonardo DiCaprio and Ethan Hawke. Something to think about for the future I guess.
The 2026 Oscar race for Best Picture in the 4 x 400 Metre Relay race were:
- One Battle After Another – 4 minutes 28 seconds
- Sinners – 5 minutes 12 seconds
- Sentimental Value – 5 minutes 30 seconds
- Train Dreams – 6 minutes 10 seconds
- Marty Supreme – 6 minutes 13 seconds
- Bugonia – 6 minutes 21 seconds
- F1 – 6 minutes 37 seconds
- Hamnet – 6 minutes 41 seconds
- The Secret Agent – 7 minutes 18 seconds
- Frankenstein – 8 minutes 32 seconds
Tough race since a lot of the producers aren’t in as good a shape as the actors but tough event when you have Emma Stone running in both the 100-metre dash for best actress and the 4×400-metre relay for best picture. That’s hard. But just shows you how seconds can make a difference although the One Battle After Another Team really ran away with the thing this year. I mean they came in first well ahead of anyone else and wow big group in the 6 minute time frame.
I think they should publish the race results personally. Although, I guess you could say if you do that you take away the mystery of how the awards work.
Anyway you can get these Oscar Race results at RacefortheOscars.com. They have a free account right now but I’m sure it won’t be long before they put it behind a paywall.
And as far as next year’s Oscars go it’s a little early to make too many predictions but I do think The Odyssey will garner a lot of nominations while in the best actor category I’m thinking Ryan Gosling for Project Hail Mary, Matt Damon for The Odyssey, and John Malkovich for Wild Horse Nine are looking like early front runners.
