Sinners Make Oscar History With Record 16 Nominations; One Battle After Another Scores 13
Mar 23, 2026
Ryan Coogler’s bluesy vampire story Sinners earned 16 Oscar nominations at the 98th Academy Awards, the most of any film in history.
Among its nominations were for best picture, best director and best screenplay, and star Michael B. Jordan, who played twin brothers Smoke and Stack, was nominated for best actor for the first time. Delroy Lindo was nominated for best supporting actor, and Wunmi Mosaku for supporting actress.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, a story of a burned-out revolutionary dad trying to save his daughter, landed 13 nominations, including for best picture. Anderson was nominated for best director and best adapted screenplay, Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead actor category, Teyana Taylor in the supporting actress category, and Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn in the supporting actor category.
Sinnners broke the Oscar record set — 14 — set by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land.
Both Sinners and One Battle After Another come from Warner Bros., which has made bold and rewarding creative decisions under co-chairs Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca — including on Sinners and One Battle After Another. Sinners was also a commercial smash.
But this could be the historic studio’s final Oscars as an independent entity, given that Netflix and Paramount are jousting to take it over.
Here is the complete list of 2026 Oscar nominees. Congratulations to all.
