When it comes to Oscar nominations, Sinners has already won.
The 98th Academy Award nominations were announced Thursday (local time), and Ryan Coogler’s period vampire horror hit broke the record for most nominations for a single feature with 16, overcoming the past title holders All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land, which all had 14.
Sinners was nominated for best film, best director, and best original screenplay, with star Michael B. Jordan getting a best actor nod and supporting players Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo also up for Oscar gold.
