"Sinners, Ryan Coogler's critically and commercially acclaimed supernatural thriller, has become the first film to be nominated for 16 Academy Awards. The film starring Michael B Jordan as twin brothers setting up a blues club in 1930s Mississippi while battling racism and vampires has so far taken $368m worldwide. It is nominated for trophies including best picture, director, leading actor, supporting actor (for the British actor Delroy Lindo), supporting actress (for British-Nigerian actor Wunmi Mosaku) and the Academy's inaugural casting prize."
"Sinners' multiple nods mean it smashes the record of 14 nominations shared by All About Eve (1950), Titanic (1997) and La La Land (2016). But while those films converted their nominations into a substantial number of wins (six, 11 and six, respectively), the expectation is that Coogler's drama may end up with a smaller haul come 15 March. So far this season, ramshackle countercultural comedy One Battle After Another has dominated in the awards, and at the Oscars it closely trails Sinners, with 13 nominations."
Sinners received 16 Academy Award nominations, the most ever for a film. The film stars Michael B Jordan as twin brothers who open a blues club in 1930s Mississippi while confronting racism and vampires, and has grossed $368m worldwide. Nominations include best picture, director, leading actor, supporting actor (Delroy Lindo), supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku) and the Academy's inaugural casting prize. Sinners surpasses the previous record of 14 nominations held by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land. One Battle After Another trails with 13 nominations and is a strong awards-season contender. Chloe Zhao's Hamnet earned eight nominations, including Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, with Zhao credited as editor, executive producer and co-writer.
