‘Sinners’ Ties Record for Most Black Nominees From a Single Film

Hollywood still has work to do when it comes to diversity, but many people are still finding their ways to shine.

From Black talent continuing to break records to unprecedented achievements for Latino artists and international storytellers, this year’s Oscar nominations delivered an impressive list of inclusive and boundary-pushing titles, performers and artisans.

At the top of the list, Ryan Coogler’s vampire epic “Sinners” is leading the charge in more ways than one.

Across its 16 nominations, a total of 10 Black artists are nominated, which ties the all-time record for a movie producing the most Black nominees in history. They are Ryan Coogler (best picture, director, original screenplay), Zinzi Coogler (best picture), Michael B. Jordan (actor), Delroy Lindo (supporting actor), Wunmi Mosaku (supporting actress), Hannah Beachler (production design), Autumn Durald Arkapaw (cinematography), Ruth E. Carter (costume design), Shunika Terry (makeup and hairstyling) and Raphael Saadiq (original song).

The 98th Oscars will be held March 15th and will air on ABC, hosted by Conan O'Brien.
