Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# **Sinners** Shatters Oscar Records with a Historic 16 Nominations – Ryan Coogler's Masterpiece Takes Center Stage! Imagine a film so gripping it doesn't just break records—it devours them whole. Ryan Coogler's **Sinners** has done exactly that, clinching a jaw-dropping **16 nominations** at the 98th Academy Awards, surpassing the previous high of 14 held by classics like *All About Eve*, *Titanic*, and *La La Land*.[1][2] This Oakland-born director's vampire epic has stormed the Oscars, turning heads and rewriting history. Directed by Coogler, **Sinners** earned nods across major categories, including surprise supporting acting spots for Delroy Lindo (Best Supporting Actor) and Wunmi Mosaku (Best Supporting Actress), plus a Best Original Song nomination for Raphael Saadiq from Oakland's Tony Toni Toné.[1][2] Even with a new Achievement in Casting category in the mix, the film still sets the bar sky-high without it.[2] It's a banner moment for Oakland talent, with Coogler's wife Zinzi as coproducer adding local pride to the mix.[1] While **One Battle After Another** trails with 13 nominations (including Best Picture and Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor), **Sinners** proves original blockbusters can dominate awards season.[1][2] Despite a softer Golden Globes showing—limited to Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score—the Academy clearly couldn't resist its bite.[2] First-time nominees like Jacob Elordi (*Frankenstein*) and Teyana Taylor (*One Battle After Another*) highlight a fresh field, but Coogler's vision stands tallest.[1]
