Unifrance is delighted to announce—and proud to support—the nine French-produced and co-produced films nominated for the Oscars 2026.
This is a historic hat trick for French animation, with two films nominated in the Best Animated Feature category and one film in the Best Animated Short Film category. And a rare clean sweep for nominations in the Best International Feature category, with all nominated films having been produced or co-produced by France. This unique situation highlights the power—and crucial importance for world cinema—of French co-production.
