Emma Stone and Timothée Chalamet break Oscar records held by Hollywood legends with 2026 nominations

by

The nominations for the 2026 Oscars are out, and it was a record-breaking year for film – with the movie Sinners being a major part of that success.

That film set a new record with 16 nominations, but Emma Stone and Timothée Chalamet also achieved a milestone by receiving nominations for their performances in Bugonia and Marty Supreme, respectively.

At 37, Emma Stone’s Best Actress nomination makes her the second-youngest person and the youngest woman to ever receive seven Academy Award nominations. Only Walt Disney, who reached seven nominations at 34, has done it at a younger age. Previously, Meryl Streep held the record for the youngest woman to achieve this, reaching seven nominations at age 38.

Emma Stone made history as the first woman to receive two Academy Award nominations for both producing and acting in the same film. She earned these nominations for Bugonia and Poor Things. Previously, Frances McDormand was the first woman to achieve this feat once, receiving nominations for both roles in the 2021 film Nomadland.

I’m continually amazed by Timothée Chalamet! It’s incredible to me that, at just 30 years old, he’s already broken records as the youngest male actor to receive three acting nominations. It started with Call Me by Your Name, then A Complete Unknown, and now Marty Supreme – what a talent!

He’s a producer on the Best Picture-nominated film, Marty Supreme, making him the youngest person ever nominated for both producing and acting in the same year. The previous record holder was Warren Beatty, who achieved this at a slightly older age of 30, with his 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. Beatty held the record for 58 years.

Emma Stone is competing for Best Actress alongside Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value).
