Ryan Coogler's bluesy vampire thriller "Sinners," the big screen musical "Wicked: For Good" and the Netflix phenomenon "KPop Demon Hunters" are all a step closer to an Oscar nomination. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released shortlists for 12 categories Tuesday, including for best song, score, international and documentary film, cinematography and this year's new prize, casting.
Ryan White's stirring "Come See Me in the Good Light," which follows poet and activist Andrea Gibson and their wife Megan Falley after Gibson is diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer, led all films with six nominations, including Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, Direction, and Unforgettable Honors for Gibson and Falley. (Just yesterday, White was announced as one of our IndieWire Honors honorees for this year.)
