Clayton Davis, Variety:

Ryan Coogler has officially rewritten Oscar history.

Coogler’s “Sinners” shattered the Academy Awards’ all-time nomination record Thursday, earning 16 nods and surpassing the previous mark of 14, held by three films. […]

The supernatural thriller received nominations for best picture; director; actor (Michael B. Jordan); supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku); actor in a supporting role (Delroy Lindo); original screenplay; casting; production design; cinematography; costume design; film editing; makeup and hairstyling; sound; visual effects; original score; and original song for “I Lied to You.”

OK, fine, I’ll watch the damn movie.
