Sinners has broken the record for the most Oscar nominations with 16 nods.
Ryan Coogler's supernatural thriller, starring Michael B. Jordan as twins, received the most Academy Award nominations ever when they were read out by Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The achievement surpasses the 14 nominations previously held by three films - 1950's All About Eve, 1997's Titanic and 2016's La La Land.
The film's nominations include Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler, Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Best Supporting Actor for Delroy Lindo, and Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku.
Alongside Titanic, Sinners is the only other film to be nominated in every single technical category, including Best Original Song.
According to Variety, Coogler is also the second Black producer to be nominated for Best Picture more than once, he and his wife Zinzi Coogler are the first Black married couple to be nominated together in that category, and their cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw is the first woman of colour to be nominated for Best Cinematography.
Other nominees for Best Picture include Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value and Train Dreams.
Alongside Jordan, the Best Actor nominees are Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon) and The Secret Agent's Wagner Moura, who is the first Brazilian nominee in that category.
Meanwhile, Best Actress frontrunner Jessie Buckley is nominated alongside Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I'd Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).
