98th Annual Academy Awards Nominations: 'Sinners' Leads with Record-Breaking 16 Nominations
The nominations for the 98th Annual Academy Awards have been revealed, with the film "Sinners" leading the pack with a record-breaking 16 nominations. This period vampire film directed by Ryan Coogler surpassed the previous record of 14 nominations held by films like "All About Eve," "Titanic," and "La La Land." The nominations for "Sinners" include categories like Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and more.
Following closely behind "Sinners" is "One Battle After Another," which received 13 nominations, setting up a potential showdown with "Sinners" after winning at the Golden Globes. Other films like "Frankenstein," "Marty Supreme," and "Sentimental Value" also received multiple nominations, with "Hamnet" earning eight nods. The Best Picture category includes a diverse range of films like "Bugonia," "F1," and "Train Dreams."
Some surprises in this year's nominations include "Wicked: For Good" being largely shut out after the success of its predecessor, and "Avatar: Fire and Ash" missing out on major award nominations. Notable snubs in the acting categories include Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for "Wicked: For Good" and Paul Mescal for "Hamnet." However, there were also unexpected nominations, such as Kate Hudson for "Song Sung Blue" and Joachim Trier for "Sentimental Value."
The full list of nominations covers a wide range of categories, from Best Picture to Best Visual Effects. Final voting for the Oscars will begin on February 26th, with the ceremony scheduled to take place on March 15th and will be broadcast on ABC and Hulu.
