Hollywood has officially unveiled the nominations for this year’s Academy Awards, honouring the most celebrated films and performances of the past year: and one film has already made history.
Sinners emerged as the clear frontrunner, earning a record-breaking 16 nominations. The feat sees the film surpass the long-standing record jointly held by All About Eve (1950), Titanic (1997) and La La Land (2016), firmly establishing Sinners as the dominant force of this awards season.
Trailing behind is One Battle After Another with 13 nominations, while Marty Supreme, Frankenstein and Sentimental Value each picked up nine nods. Hamnet also impressed, securing eight nominations.
The 97th Academy Awards ceremony is set to take place on 15 March, with U.S. comedian Conan O’Brien confirmed as host of the star-studded night.
