"Ryan Coogler's vampire horror Sinners - starring Michael B. Jordan as twins - leads the pack with 16 nominations, more than any film in Oscars history. Meanwhile, Paul Thomas Anderson's caper One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, follows closely behind with 13 nominations. Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein and Josh Safdie's ping pong drama, Marty Supreme, both earned nine nominations, while Chloé Zhao's Shakespeare drama Hamnet picked up eight."
"This year also introduces a new competitive award, Best Casting, expanding the total number of Oscars presented to 24. The category aims to recognise the creative contribution of casting directors, marking the first new Oscar category added in more than two decades."
"Security for the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre will be tight. Organisers said they were working closely with the FBI and Los Angeles police after a federal warning of a possible Iranian threat against California, though authorities have cited no specific or credible danger to the Academy Awards."
