"'Sinners,' all time nomination record, 16. Beat out 'Titanic,' 'All About Eve,' 'La La Land,' they got 14 nominations. This is monumental for 'Sinners.' It's also the most individual Black nominees that have come from one single movie in history."
"This year's ceremony also marks the first time the Academy has introduced a new category since 2001: Best Achievement in Casting to recognize the people who find your favorite stars. You vote for 'Sinners,' not because of Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, it's because they discovered Miles Caton."
"Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the cinematographer, first woman of color, nominated there. Ruth E. Carter, the costume designer, two-time Academy Award winner, by the way, the only Black woman in history to have more than one Oscar is now the most nominated Black woman in history."
This year's Academy Awards ceremony marks several historic milestones. 'Sinners' has shattered the all-time nomination record with 16 nominations, surpassing previous records held by 'Titanic,' 'All About Eve,' and 'La La Land' with 14 nominations each. The film also represents the most individual Black nominees ever from a single movie. The Academy has introduced Best Achievement in Casting, the first new category since 2001, recognizing casting directors who discover talent. Additional historic moments include Autumn Durald Arkapaw becoming the first woman of color nominated for cinematography, and Ruth E. Carter becoming the most nominated Black woman in Academy history. If Teyana Taylor or Wunmi Mosaku wins Best Supporting Actress, Black women will win that category three consecutive years for the first time.
