Ryan Coogler's blues-steeped vampire epic Sinners led all films with 16 nominations to the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday, January 22, setting a record for the most in Oscar history.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voters showered Sinners 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.
