Awards Circuit Update: For only the second time in Oscar history, four films are poised to receive ten or more nominations.
This Year’s contenders
This year’s Oscar nominations are set to be dominated by a mix of revolutionary tales, mythical creatures, and thrilling narratives. Leading the charge are two films from Warner Bros. that aim to make their mark in Academy history.
Sinners: A Historic Contender
The highly anticipated vampire drama “Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler, is on track to break records wiht an astounding 15 nominations. This would place it above classics like “All About Eve,” “Titanic,” and “La La Land” as the most nominated film ever. The thriller featuring Michael B. Jordan is expected to compete in major categories such as Best Picture and Best Director, along with several technical awards.Additionally, there’s potential for supporting actor nods for Miles Caton and/or Delroy Lindo, plus another nomination for original song.
One Fight After Another: A Political Epic
The political drama “One Fight After Another,” helmed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is projected to secure 13 nominations this awards season. This sweeping narrative could achieve a rare milestone by having five actors recognized across all four acting categories—Leonardo DiCaprio, Jog Infiniti, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Teyana Taylor—making it only the 16th film in Oscar history to accomplish this feat since “American Hustle.”
