Along with A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan, the acting nomination announcements were filled with names like these.

These four actors set a record in 2026 for the most non-English language performances nominated for Oscars in a single year.

Sentimental Value from Norway got nine nominations.

Brazil's The Secret Agent got four, twice as many as the blockbuster Avatar of Fire and Dash.

Other non-English language movies with multiple Oscar nominations this year include the Spanish film Surat and It Was Just an Accident by Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
