The nominees for the 98th Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning, with Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”) and Lewis Pullman (“Thunderbolts*”) revealing the list of nominees from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Director Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ leads the nominees this year, and also broke an Academy Award record with 16 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. The supernatural thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Wunmi Mosaku topped previous record holders including ‘All About Eve,’ ‘Titanic’ and ‘La La Land,’ which all earned 14 nominations.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another followed with 13 nods, including acting nominations for Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn, in addition to Best Picture.
Aside from ‘Sinners’ and ‘One Battle After Another,’ the other Best Picture nominees were: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Train Dreams.
In acting categories, Timothée Chalamet (‘Marty Supreme”), Ethan Hawk (‘Blue Moon’) and Wagner Moura (‘The Secret Agent’), join Jordan and DiCaprio in the Best Actor category. Chalamet, who turned 30 last month, is now the youngest actor since Marlon Brando to receive three Best Actor Oscar nominations.
The nominees for Best Actress are Kate Hudson (‘Song Sung Blue’), Jessie Buckley (‘Hamnet’), Rose Byrne (‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’), Renate Reinsve (‘Sentimental Value’) and Emma Stone (‘Bugonia’).
Best Supporting Actor nominees include Benicio del Toro (One Battle After Another’), Jacob Elordi (‘Frankenstein’), Delroy Lindo, (‘Sinners’), Sean Penn (‘One Battle After Another), and Stellan Skarsgård (‘Sentimental Value’).
The nominees for Best Supporting Actress feature Elle Fanning (‘Sentimental Value’), Amy Madigan (‘Weapons’), Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners’), Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (‘Sentimental Value’), and Teyana Taylor (‘One Battle After Another’).
Taylor, who received her first-ever Oscar nomination for her supporting role in One Battle After Another, said in a statement: “To be an Academy Award nominee is beyond anything I ever allowed myself to fully believe was possible. My career has been filled with battles, doubts, and moments of deep uncertainty. It has felt like one long fight for space, for respect, and for opportunity. Today feels like a soft, beautiful ‘yes’ from the universe.”
Meanwhile, Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good, the sequel to 2024’s Wicked, was snubbed this year and failed to receive a single Oscar nomination.
The 98th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and broadcast live at 7 p.m. ET on ABC. Conan O’Brien returns as host for the second consecutive year.
