Nominations for the 98th Academy Awards are in, with Sinners nabbing a record-breaking 16 nods.
Move over Titanic, La La Land and All About Eve – there’s a new Oscar champion in town. Ryan Coogler’s unlikely period-vampire-crime smash-up, Sinners, has become the most-nominated film in Academy history by bagging 16 nominations out of 24 categories (including the new Best Casting gong introduced this year). Those three jointly held the previous record, with 14.
An out-and-out horror flick getting this much recognition is impressive enough on its own, but especially so considering 2025’s slate has it up against some stiff competition. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (13 noms), Chloé Zhao’s weepy Hamnet (eight) and frenetic Timothée Chalamet vehicle Marty Supreme (nine) have all bagged plenty of worthy nods across the most competitive categories.
Other surprises include plenty of love for Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value with Best Picture, Director, and four acting nods across three categories. Oh, and world’s-fastest-billboard F1 snuck into the Best Picture lineup, somehow, which is very funny.
