The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning. Leading the pack was “Sinners,” with a record-breaking 16 nominations, including best picture, best director for Ryan Coogler and best actor for Michael B. Jordan. “One Battle After Another” received one nomination after another for a total of 13, also including best picture, best director for Paul Thomas Anderson and best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Timothée Chalamet is in the running for best actor as well for “Marty Supreme,” which would make him one of the youngest best actor winners after Adrien Brody’s win for “The Pianist” in 2003. Also notable in the acting categories is “Sentimental Value,” with its entire main cast getting nods at four nominations: Renate Reinsve for best actress, Stellan Skarsgard for best supporting actor, and both Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas for best supporting actress.
The ceremony will take place on March 15 and Conan O’Brien will be returning as the host. Below is the full list of nominees.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of that part of Miles’ career.
Luv Elvis AI’s....
Haven’t watched the Oscars in many years. Most of the films are woke garbage. I think the last good nominated film I saw was The King’s Speech.
What an idiotic post, of course I watched the movies, but of course you make your typical response, always the same.
Watched Sinners. Not bad for a vampire movie but best picture?
I’d have to drive 65 miles one way to watch a flicker show in a theatre, so I don’t know any of them.
The Case for Heaven.
With all due respect. Who really cares about those buffoons?
WGAS....there is better stuff to do.
The only good thing about the Oscars was Bill Murray’s predictions.
yeah, 2028 is the last year of telecast ... after that it’s youtube, though probably not that many people will notice ... presumably telecasting is losing too much money to continue with the oscars ...
People who like cinema?
One Battle After Another” is just a silly anti-MAGA film with a lot of overacting.
If you insist on watching any of these films remember to do so on illicit websites and torrents so the evil creatures who made them won't benefit.
Reminder also to use Remove Paywall, or simply ask Gemini to summarize this blocked article...it will do it anyway, despite the block.
That’s a relief.
Battle had been in the works for a long time, before Trump was elected. It is mocking political extremism on both sides.
I made a point to see that movie. She was great!
Did you see Hamnet? I think Sinners will win. First Black director to win, etc.
It's a 100% Black film.
Thus "The soft bigotry of low expectations" = "It's a epic blockbuster!!! Most nominations in history!!!"
“evil creatures”
Why would you say that?
