The 98th Academy Awards ceremony preparations

The 98th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Comedian Conan O’Brien will host the event for the second consecutive year. The awards show is recognized both for the presentation of the golden statuettes and for the fashion displays by celebrities on the red carpet. Historically significant looks include appearances by Grace Kelly in 1955 and Jennifer Lawrence in 2013, the latter wearing a Dior Haute Couture gown valued at approximately 4 million dollars. Other notable high-value fashion moments include Nicole Kidman’s 1997 Dior gown and Cate Blanchett’s 2007 Armani Privé outfit. The event continues to attract interest due to the combination of cinematic achievement and high-end couture fashion. The red carpet remains a central focus of media attention during the awards ceremony.
