"Ryan Coogler Smashes Oscar Nomination Record with 'Sinners' as Superhero Thriller Breaks Ground in Technical Categories"
In a historic move, Academy Awards superlatives have been rewritten as Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" shattered the all-time nomination record with 16 nods. This milestone surpasses the previous mark of 14, previously held by three films.
The supernatural thriller has garnered recognition across various technical categories, including best picture; director; actor (Michael B. Jordan); supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku); and original screenplay, among others. Its impressive feat includes being the seventh movie to be nominated in every technical category, excluding original song, echoing notable films such as "Dune," "Mad Max: Fury Road," and "Titanic."
This achievement eclipses earlier records held by notable films like Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "All About Eve" (1950), James Cameron's "Titanic" (1997), and Damien Chazelle's "La La Land" (2016). Coogler's recognition extends beyond the numbers, as he becomes only the second Black filmmaker to be nominated in the same year for producing, directing, and original screenplay.
This milestone also underscores the impact of representation in the film industry. Coogler is the seventh Black director to receive a best director nomination, joining esteemed filmmakers like John Singleton, Lee Daniels, Steve McQueen, Barry Jenkins, Jordan Peele, and Spike Lee. Furthermore, he has broken ground as the second Black producer to be nominated for best picture more than once.
The success of "Sinners" also brings historic firsts for several collaborators, including fellow producer Zinzi Coogler, cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, production designer Hannah Beachler, and costume designer Ruth E. Carter, who has now become the most-nominated Black woman in Oscar history.
As final Oscar voting takes place from February 26 to March 5, fans eagerly anticipate the 98th Oscars on March 15, hosted by Conan O'Brien. With its record-breaking nominations, "Sinners" is set to leave an indelible mark on Academy Awards history.

It's amazing to see how his movie "Sinners" has been recognized in so many technical categories, it just goes to show that his hard work and dedication have paid off 
. And can we talk about representation? 
It's so inspiring to see more Black voices being heard on the big screen, especially from directors like Ryan Coogler who are paving the way for others. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll win some of those Oscars 
. My kid is already talking about how cool it is that a Black director broke all those records 
, it's amazing to see them learning about this stuff!

I'm calling BS on this one 
. How can a movie called "Sinners" (whatever that means) shatter all these records? Like, what's the actual plot of this thing? 
Did Ryan Coogler have some friends in high places who helped him get these nods? I need to see some sources on this one before I start celebrating 
. The fact that Zinzi Coogler, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Hannah Beachler, and Ruth E. Carter are also getting love is a beautiful thing
