The 98th Academy Awards nominations were announced this evening by Lewis Pullman and Danielle Brooks in a ceremony celebrating cinematic excellence. Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” and Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” captured the most nominations.
Coogler’s “Sinners” impressed with its breadth of recognition across creative and technical categories. Nominations in directing, cinematography, production design, sound design, and acting categories showcase its comprehensive achievement. The visual storytelling particularly resonated with voters.
Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” matched this achievement with nominations spanning major categories. The direction, adapted screenplay, and multiple performances earned acknowledgment, while technical achievements also secured recognition. The film’s awards season momentum continued.
The nomination announcement included expected contenders across all categories, from animated features to documentaries to international films. The Best Picture category features ten nominees representing diverse approaches. However, the complete absence of Neeraj Ghaywan’s “Homebound” represents a significant snub.
The 98th Academy Awards ceremony unfolds on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The ceremony will air at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, where the year’s finest cinematic achievements will receive their ultimate recognition.
