Sinners Sets Oscar Nomination Record
Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler's movie Sinners has made history by getting the most Oscar nominations ever for a single film.
It has 16 nominations, which is more than any other movie before.
This isn't the first time Jordan and Coogler have worked together.
They have made several successful movies, like Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther.
Sinners is a horror movie where Jordan plays two roles, and people love it for its scary and beautiful scenes.
The Oscars will happen soon, and everyone is excited to see if Sinners wins many awards.
Another movie, One Battle After Another, got 13 nominations and is also about a big moment in America.
Both movies are from Warner Bros., which is being sold to Netflix for a lot of money.
This is a big change in the movie industry.
Sinners received a record 16 Oscar nominations, surpassing the previous record of 14 nominations held by All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land.
Michael B. Jordan received his first Oscar nomination for best actor for his role in Sinners, while director Ryan Coogler was nominated for best director and best screenplay.
One Battle After Another, another highly nominated film, received 13 nominations but did not secure a nomination for its newcomer actress Chase Infiniti.
Both Sinners and One Battle After Another are Warner Bros. titles, contributing to the studio's 33 total Oscar nominations, the most in its history.
Warner Bros. is currently in the process of being sold to Netflix for $72 billion, amidst a challenge from Paramount Skydance, marking a potential realignment in the film industry.
