Also among the nominees for the 2026 Oscars are Nick Cave and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), announced today by actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman in a live stream from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The winners will be revealed on the night between Sunday 15 and Monday 16 March.
Cave is nominated for the song "Train Dreams", made together with Bryce Dessner, guitarist of The National, for the film of the same name directed by Clint Bentley. The song that gives the film its title features an unsettling vocal performance from the Australian singer-songwriter, who was so taken with Dessner's music that he overcame his reluctance to take part in the project. "The last thing anyone who's written a beautiful score wants is for some rock star to come along and sing over it," Cave joked. "That's happened to me many times."
Jonny Greenwood, meanwhile, is in the running for best score for "One Battle After Another".
