**Oscars 2026: What to Expect Tonight & How to Watch from Nigeria** Tonight's the night! The 98th Academy Awards are finally here, and if you're planning to stay up (or set those early alarms) to catch the glamour, we've got the inside scoop on everything you need to know. Back to host for the second year running is the witty Conan O'Brien, and we're expecting a night filled with his signature humor and a few unexpected surprises. The competition is fierce, with Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" leading the pack with a record-breaking 16 nominations. However, Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" is hot on its heels with 13. One of the most anticipated moments is the Best Supporting Actress category, where Nigerian actress Wunmi Mosaku is nominated for her powerful performance as Annie in "Sinners." This nomination comes on the heels of her historic wins at the BAFTAs and NAACP Image Awards for her role in "Double Crown." The night will feature a star-studded lineup of presenters, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Paul Mescal, Robert Downey Jr., Nicole Kidman, and Pedro Pascal. There's also buzz about a special reunion of the cast of "Bridesmaids" to mark the film's 15th anniversary. The reunion will feature Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy. The musical performances are set to be just as captivating as the films themselves. You can expect a high-energy fusion of traditional Korean dance and pop for "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters, as well as a soul-stirring tribute for "I Lied To You" from "Sinners," featuring Miles Caton, Raphael Saadiq, and the incredible Misty Copeland. For those watching from Nigeria and across Africa, you can catch all the action live on DStv Channel 101 (M-Net) starting with the Red Carpet Live special at 11:30 PM WAT.
