The Live Action Short Film category at 2026 Academy Awards ended in a tie, with both 'The Singers' and 'Two People Exchanging Saliva' winning Oscars.
Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh accept one of two Oscars in the Best Live Action Short Film category for 'Two People Exchanging Saliva.' Presenter Kumail Nanjiani looked surprised at first when opening the winners’ envelope, but then sangfroid took over.
“It’s a tie. I’m not joking. It’s actually a tie. So, everyone, calm down. We’re gonna get through this. Focus up,” he said. He explained that he would announce one winner first, and when they were done with their speech, the other winners would get their chance. But once the shock wore off, he made a great observation: “It’s ironic that the short film Oscar is going to take twice as long,” he said., also got in on it with a joke about how the outcome would affect prediction-market betting websites: “I just want to say congratulations to both winners,” he said. “You just ruined 22,000 Oscar polls.” Although ties at the Oscars are rare, they’re not unprecedented. The first time was a bit of an oddity, though. At the fifth Academy Awards, for 1931 and ’32, Frederic March won for. March actually earned one more vote than Beery, but the rules at the time made it so a three-vote margin made it a tie; the Academy has since changed the rules.'SNL' Weekend Update: Tucker Carlson Gets Triggered by Oscars Nomineesboth won in the Documentary category.
