Ryan Coogler's Sinners has earned record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations
Sinners, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value, and Marty Supreme have dominated the 2026 Oscars nominations.
Ryan Coogler's Sinners has smashed Oscars history — landing a whopping 16 nods and becoming the most‑nominated film of all time.
The vampire thriller trumped the previous record of 14 nods, held jointly by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land, after months of hype positioning it as a major contender.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another — long tipped as the frontrunner — wasn’t far behind, scoring 13 nominations. Joachim Trier’s Norwegian drama Sentimental Value picked up nine, while Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet in what many expect to be a winning performance, earned eight.
The nominations for all 24 categories — including the Oscars’ brand‑new Best Casting prize — were announced in Beverly Hills by actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman.
It was also a huge morning for international cinema. Both Sentimental Value and Brazil’s The Secret Agent made it into the Best Picture race as well as Best International Feature. Trier landed a Best Director nod, while The Secret Agent star Wagner Moura continued his awards‑season streak with a Best Actor nomination following his Golden Globes win.
Coogler’s Sinners dominated across the board, earning recognition for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, and Best Supporting Actor for Delroy Lindo, along with screenplay, cinematography, editing, production design and more.
Anderson’s One Battle After Another also scored major nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio and multiple supporting nods for Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn.
Chalamet, meanwhile, cemented his awards‑season momentum with a Best Actor nomination for Marty Supreme, joining a category packed with heavyweights including DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Jordan and Moura.
Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Renate Reinsve, Kate Hudson and Rose Byrne lead the Best Actress race, while the supporting categories are dominated by Sentimental Value, Sinners and One Battle After Another.
KPop Demon Hunters also made a strong showing, earning nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song with Golden.
The 98th Academy Awards will once again be hosted by Conan O’Brien and air on March 15 on ABC.
