Hollywood announced the nominations for the 2026 Oscars on Thursday morning, and the film "Sinners," a vampire horror directed by Ryan Coogler, received 16 nominations, setting a new record in the 98-year history of the awards. "One Battle After Another" by Paul Thomas Anderson garnered 13 nominations, while "Frankenstein" by Guillermo del Toro received nine. In the Best International Film category, Spain's "Sirât" will face off against the favorite "Sentimental Value" from Norway, among others.
"Sinners" marked several firsts, with Coogler becoming the seventh Black director nominated, and his wife, Zinzi Coogler, being the first Filipino woman and the third Black woman nominated for Best Picture. Additionally, the sound team of the film "Sirât" is the first to be composed entirely of women.
