Sinners<\/strong>, director Ryan Coogler’s tale of speakeasys and vampires in the Deep South during Prohibition has set a new Academy Awards record, receiving nominations in 16 categories including best Picture, Director, Lead Actor (Michael B. Jordan), Supporting Actor (Delroy Lindo), Supporting Actress (Wunmi Mosaku) and Original Screenplay (Coogler) and the newly minted Best Casting category. This is Coogler’s first nomination in the writing and directing categories.<\/p>\n

This new record shatters the previous one of 14 nominations for a single film that was jointly held by 1950’s All About Eve<\/strong>, 1997’s Titanic<\/strong> and 2016’s La La Land<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another<\/strong> earned the second highest amount of nominations this year – thirteen including nods in the Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay (Anderson), Actor, (Leonardo DiCaprio), Supporting Actor (Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn) and Supporting Actress (Teyana Taylor).<\/p>\n

That Sinners<\/strong> and One Battle After Another<\/strong> have become the two Oscar frontrunners comes as no surprise. Both films have featured dominate “Best of the Year” lists and critics groups awards throughout this past December and into the new year.<\/p>\n

Three other critics awards seasons favorites – Frankenstein<\/strong>, Marty Supreme<\/strong> and Sentimental Value<\/strong> – all received nine nominations each, sharing slots in the Best Picture category.<\/p>\n

Another Oscars record was broken by actor\/producer Emma Stone. Her two nominations received today – Best Picture for producing and Best Actress for starring in Bugonia<\/strong> – make her the youngest woman in Academy history to earn a lifetime total of seven Oscars. At 37, Stone has managed this feat just a year quicker than the previous record holder, Meryl Streep did, who received her seventh Academy Award nomination at the age of 38 in 1988. Walt Disney still holds the record for the youngest person earning seven nominations at age 34.<\/p>\n

Stone’s dual acting and producing nods today make her the first woman to receive dual acting and producing nominations twice. She previously had earned nominations in hose two categories for her work on 2023’s Poor Things<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wicked: For Good<\/strong>, the second half of the adaptation of the hit Broadway musical was shut out, receiving no nominations. While the film didn’t wow critics and audiences as much as the first half did, last year’s Wicked: Part One<\/strong> did receive ten Oscar nominations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Academy Awards will be awarded on Sunday March 15, at 7pm Eastern.<\/p>\n
