Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s supernatural period drama about twin bootlegging brothers, set a new record when the nominations for the 98th Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning, earning an impressive (16) nominations, including Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Actor. This breaks the previous nomination record of (14) set by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land. One of the nominations came in the newly created category recognizing the film’s casting. Other films with multiple nominations, including Best Picture, were One Battle after Another (13) with Frankenstein and Marty Supreme both getting (9) nominations. Other Best Picture nominees: Bugonia, F1, Hamnet, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Train Dreams. Oddly enough, one year after the film Wicked earned (10) nominations, Wicked for Good received no recognition, not even in the technical categories (Visual Effects, Sound, etc) where it placed the year before.
First time acting nominees include Michaeel B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo from Sinners, Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) and Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value). They were nominated alongside previous Oscar winners including a trifecta – Leonardo Di Caprio, Benecio del Toro and Sean Penn, all nominated for their work in One Battle after Another and two-time Best Actress winner Emma Stone (Bugonia).
