Warner Bros. Ties Own Oscar Studio Record With 30 Nominations

Warner Bros. scored a number one 30 Oscar nominations on Thursday morning, accumulating a document 16 nods for Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller “Sinners,” in addition to 13 for Paul Thomas Anderson’s comedic adventure “One Battle After Another” and one for Amy Madigan’s supporting flip in “Weapons.”

Warner Bros. tied its personal document, established in 2005 when the studio racked up 30 nominations for movies including Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank’s sports activities drama “Million Dollar Baby,” Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Aviator,” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” It’s price noting the 2005 benchmark comes with a caveat; “The Aviator” was co-produced by Miramax, and the studio was working a separate arthouse label, Warner Bros. Independent, which launched Oscar nominees such as “Before Sunset” and “A Very Long Engagement.” That makes this yr’s haul even more spectacular because the Warner Bros. main manufacturing arms oversaw and launched all of the contenders. “F1: The Movie” shouldn’t be included in the studio’s 2026 tally despite incomes 4 nominations. That’s because Warner Bros. was paid to distribute the Brad Pitt-led racing thriller, however the movie was produced and financed by Apple. Prior to that, Warner Bros. amassed a then-record 28 nominations for movies from 1943, including “Casablanca.”

Neon adopted on the scorecard with 18 nods for motion pictures such as Joachim Trier’s household drama “Sentimental Value” and the Brazilian crime thriller “The Secret Agent.” This is, by far, Neon’s best displaying on Oscar nominations morning, topping the indie studio’s high water-mark of eight in 2020 when “Parasite” ended up successful best image.

Netflix, which was the most-nominated studio in 2024 and 2025, ranked in third place with 16 nominations. The streamer was acknowledged for Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” the Joel Edgerton-led drama (*30*) and the animated sensation “KPop Demon Hunters.” Netflix also collected two nominations for the shorts “The Singers” and “All the Empty Rooms,” however the Academy’s official scorecard only counts feature-length movies.
