(CNN) — When it comes to Oscar nominations, “Sinners” has already won.
The 98th Academy Award nominations were announced Thursday, and Ryan Coogler’s period vampire horror hit broke the record for most nominations for a single feature with 16, overcoming the past title holders “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land,” which all had 14.
“Sinners” was nominated for best film, best director, and best original screenplay, with star Michael B. Jordan getting a best actor nod and supporting players Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo also up for Oscar gold.
“One Battle After Another” followed with 13 nominations, with that film’s Golden Globe-winner Teyana Taylor facing off against Mosaku for best supporting actress and Lindo competing against “One Battle’s” Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro.
