F1 may have scored four 2026 Oscars nominations, but not everyone was supportive of the Academy's recognition of the film. The Brad Pitt-led racing drama secured nods for Best Picture, Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects when the nominations were announced in January 2026. Though the fast-paced sports picture soared at the box office and became Apple's highest-grossing film, there was certainly confusion over why Wicked: For Good was completely shut out from the list of nominees over F1.
