The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled its 98th Academy Awards nominations this evening through presenters Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks. The announcement celebrated cinematic excellence, with “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” leading the nominations.
Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” demonstrated its exceptional quality through nominations spanning directing, visual effects, cinematography, production design, and acting categories. The film’s innovative approach to storytelling clearly resonated with Academy members across multiple branches. The recognition validates Coogler’s bold creative choices.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” received equally impressive recognition across major categories. The film’s nominations include directing, adapted screenplay, and multiple acting acknowledgments for its ensemble cast. Following its Golden Globes success, the Academy’s support solidifies its frontrunner status.
Other nominated films brought variety to the competition. “Marty Supreme” earned recognition for Josh Safdie’s direction and Timothée Chalamet’s performance, while “Hamnet” secured nominations for Chloe Zhao’s direction and Jessie Buckley’s acting. The diversity of recognized work showcases cinema’s current vitality, though Neeraj Ghaywan’s “Homebound” notably received zero nominations.
Cinema’s biggest celebration arrives on March 15 when the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles hosts the 98th Academy Awards. The ceremony will air at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, broadcasting the event to audiences worldwide.
