<li>The 2026 Oscars took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday.</li>
<li>The live show documented much of the fun, but it didn't capture everything from the awards ceremony.</li>
<li>There were A-list meetups and fashion choices that celebrated the nominated films.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oscar-nominations-academy-award-nominees-winners-list-2026">2026 Oscars</a> were an awards show for the books.</p>
<p>From a tie in the live action short category to an appearance from Anna Wintour, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oscars-worst-dressed-celebrities-red-carpet-2026-3">Academy Awards</a>, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, didn't disappoint.</p>
<p>The live show on ABC captured much of the night's fun, but some exciting moments may not have made it to TV. There were <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oscars-red-carpet-best-dressed-celebrities-2026-3">fashion choices</a> that nodded to the nominated films, hugs between celebrity attendees, and even a sibling meetup.</p>
<p>Here are the best moments you missed from the 2026 Oscars.</p>
<h2>Michael B. Jordan looked giddy as his Oscar was engraved.</h2>
<p>After Jordan won the Oscar for best actor for his performance in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ryan-coogler-sinners-true-story-inspiration-vampires-2025-4">"Sinners,"</a> he took his trophy to have his name engraved.</p>
<p>He was all smiles as the award was personalized, even pumping his fist for a photo.</p>
<h2>The "Sinners" star also shared a hug with Leonardo DiCaprio after his big win.</h2>
<p>DiCaprio was also nominated for best actor at the 2026 Oscars for his performance in "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/leonardo-dicaprio-movies-ranked-best-worst-critics">One Battle After Another</a>." Still, he didn't seem at all disappointed that Jordan won the award instead.</p>
<p>DiCaprio hugged Jordan after he gave his acceptance speech.</p>
<h2>Jack O'Connell brought a vampire flair to the red carpet with fake teeth.</h2>
<p>O'Connell played the vampire <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sinners-post-credit-scene-mid-explained-sequel-ryan-coogler-2025-4">Remmick in "Sinners,"</a> and he paid homage to the character at the Oscars by wearing prosthetic fangs with his red-carpet attire.</p>
<p>It was an eerie and festive touch for the big night.</p>
<h2>"Sinners" director Ryan Coogler also nodded to the movie with his style, though in a subtler way.</h2>
<p>At first glance, you might miss the guitar and treble clef braided into the side and top of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ryan-coogler-sinners-deal-make-money-lawyer-explains-2025-5">"Sinners" director Ryan Coogler's</a> hair for the Oscars.</p>
<p>Blues music plays a big role in "Sinners," so the guitar was a perfect way for Coogler to celebrate the film with his style. Tyzanna B. braided Coogler's hair for the occasion.</p>
<h2>Jessie Buckley took inspiration from Grace Kelly for her Oscars dress.</h2>
<p>Buckley, who won the best actress Oscar for "Hamnet" on Sunday, wore a custom Chanel gown to the event.</p>
<p>The pink-and-red dress took inspiration from the Edith Head gown Grace Kelly wore to the Oscars in 1956. The off-the-shoulder bodice created a similar silhouette to the wrap Kelly wore with her gown.</p>
<h2>The Oscar winner was also photographed sharing a hug with her "Hamnet" costar.</h2>
<p>Jupe played the titular role and Buckley's son in the film.</p>
<p>The pair squeezed each other tightly amid the fanfare of the Oscars.</p>
<h2>Another film duo, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti, posed for a photo during the ceremony.</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teyana-taylor-best-red-carpet-outfits">Taylor</a>, who was nominated for best supporting actress, plays Infiniti's mother in "One Battle After Another," though they never appear on screen together.</p>
<p>Infiniti sat behind Taylor during the Oscars, and she leaned forward to press her cheek to Taylor's for a photo.</p>
<h2>Emma Stone and her husband, Dave McCary, were caught breaking into their snack boxes.</h2>
<p>Nominated for best actress for "Bugonia," Stone brought McCary as her date to the Oscars.</p>
<p>Mid-show, they whipped out snack boxes that seemed to be provided at the event, each holding a bag of what appeared to be SkinnyPop popcorn.</p>
<h2>Jacob Elordi stopped by the front row to greet Nicole Kidman.</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jacob-elordi-no-relationship-social-media-privacy-gen-z-2026-2">Elordi</a> leaned over the front row to get to Kidman, who sat in the second row, kissing her hand as Demi Moore smiled at them.</p>
<p>Elordi was nominated for best supporting actor for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guillermo-del-toro-frankenstein-tech-bros-ai-industry-2025-10">"Frankenstein"</a> at the 2026 Oscars.</p>
<h2>Pedro Pascal also looked thrilled to see Kidman.</h2>
<p>Pascal grinned <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nicole-kidman-height-skin-features-embrace-aging-divorce-hollywood-2025-10">at Kidman</a> when they ran into each other at the Oscars.</p>
<p>Kidman also seemed happy to see Pascal, jumping for joy at the sight of him.</p>
<h2>Timothée Chalamet got a visit from his sister during the show.</h2>
<p>Although Chalamet brought <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kylie-jenner-timothee-chalamet-relationship-timeline-rumors">his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner,</a> as his date to the Oscars, she wasn't the only one of his loved ones in attendance. His sister, Pauline Chalamet, was also there.</p>
<p>The "Sex Lives of College Girls" star and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marty-supreme-marketing-campaign-why-it-worked-2025-12">"Marty Supreme"</a> best actor nominee posed for a photo together near the stage.</p>
<h2>Kylie Jenner looked thrilled to be sitting near Elle Fanning at the Oscars.</h2>
<p>As Jenner and Chalamet found their seats in the front row of the Oscars, they spotted Elle Fanning sitting just one row behind them. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/golden-globes-behind-the-scenes-candid-photos-2025-1">Fanning and Jenner</a> were seated together at multiple awards shows in 2025, after Fanning and Chalamet starred in "A Complete Unknown."</p>
<p>At the 2026 Oscars, Fanning clapped her hands together when she saw them, while Jenner seemed to cheer at her friend.</p>
<h2>Jenner referenced herself with her keyhole Oscars dress.</h2>
<p>Jenner accompanied Chalamet to the Oscars in a sparkly gown from Schiaparelli. The dress had a low, scooped neckline and a keyhole cutout on the bodice.</p>
<p>The dress might look familiar to Jenner's fans, as it's a red version of a Schiaparelli dress she wore to a 2023 fashion show.</p>
<p>In a Vogue <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIy9PzrIv_s">"Life in Looks" video</a> posted in December 2025, Jenner called the silver version her "favorite look of all time" and said she thought about rewearing it.</p>
<p>"Any time I'm trying to figure out what to wear to an event, I'm like, 'Should I just wear the keyhole dress again?' I think I need another moment in this dress, or maybe another color," she said in the video.</p>
<p>Schiaparelli's creative director, Daniel Roseberry, posted the clip of Jenner talking about the dress to his Instagram story on Sunday, seemingly confirming that the red version was a direct result of Jenner's request for another keyhole gown.</p>
<h2>Zendaya and Robert Pattinson didn't walk the red carpet, but they posed for a photo together backstage before presenting an award.</h2>
<p>Ahead of their April film "The Drama," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-nolan-the-odyssey-details-we-konw-release-date-cast-2024-12">Zendaya and Robert Pattinson</a> presented the Oscar for best director together.</p>
<p>Neither actor walked the red carpet at the 2026 Academy Awards, but they did pose for a photo together backstage.</p>
<p>Pattinson wore a black tuxedo, while Zendaya took the stage in a chocolate brown, one-shoulder gown from Louis Vuitton with daring side cutouts.</p>
