"Ryan Coogler's blues-steeped vampire epic "Sinners" led all films with 16 nominations to the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday, setting a record for the most in Oscar history. Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences voters showered "Sinnners" with more nominations than they had ever bestowed before, breaking the 14-nomination mark set by "All About Eve," "Titanic" and "La La Land.""
"Along with best picture, Coogler was nominated for best director and best screenplay, and double-duty star Michael B. Jordan was rewarded with his first Oscar nomination, for best actor. Paul Thomas Anderson's father-daughter revolutionary saga "One Battle After Another," the favorite coming into nominations, trailed in second with 13 nominations of its own. Four of its actors - Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn - were nominated, though newcomer Chase Infiniti was left out in best actress."
