Sinners received 16 Oscar nominations in 2026. The Ryan Coogler-directed film led the nominations for the 98th Academy Awards, held on March 15, 2026, and set a record as the most-nominated film in Oscar history.
Its nominations covered major categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku, Best Supporting Actor for Delroy Lindo, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Original Score, and the inaugural Casting award. The film was nominated for four of the five “Big Five” Oscars, missing only Best Actress.
Sinners ultimately won four awards: Best Actor for Jordan, Best Original Screenplay for Coogler, Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and Best Original Score for Ludwig Göransson. A common mix-up is its 13 nominations at the BAFTAs; that figure is separate from its record 16 Oscar nominations.
