Fourteen movies won Oscars at the Academy Award ceremony on Sunday, March 15, 2026. From the new category of Best Achievement in Casting to the most well-known category of Best Picture, the awards celebrated the movies released in 2025 and the people who made them.

Some of the movies are still playing in theaters, and some will be coming back to theaters as a result of the publicity of the awards they received. While nothing matches the experience of seeing great movies on the big screen with a group of people, many of them can be seen at home as well.
