Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman unveiled the nominations for the 98th Academy Awards this evening, revealing a competitive landscape. Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” and Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” emerged with the most nominations.
Anderson’s film built upon awards season success with comprehensive recognition. Nominations in directing, adapted screenplay, and multiple performances highlight its strengths, while technical categories also acknowledged its achievements. The film’s Golden Globes victories translated into strong Oscar support.
“Sinners” demonstrated similar excellence with nominations highlighting its visual innovation and storytelling power. Coogler’s direction earned recognition alongside cinematography, production design, and acting nominations. The multifaceted acknowledgment positions it as a serious contender.
Other films earning nominations include “Marty Supreme,” “Hamnet,” “Sentimental Value,” and “Frankenstein,” each securing recognition across various categories. The diversity of nominated work showcases contemporary cinema’s breadth. However, Neeraj Ghaywan’s “Homebound” failed to earn any nominations.
Cinema’s biggest celebration arrives on March 15 when the 98th Academy Awards take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony will air at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, where the year’s finest films will compete for Oscar gold.
