Ryan Coogler, the visionary behind the film Sinners, shared his excitement regarding the remarkable number of Oscar nominations the film has garnered for this year's Academy Awards. In a recent interview, Coogler expressed his gratitude for the acknowledgment from the Academy.

"I have been continually amazed by the dedication and talent of my team throughout this journey, so it brings me immense joy to see them recognized by their peers. Naturally, I am a bit biased, as I believe the people I collaborate with are among the finest in the industry. I truly feel fortunate, as such recognition isn't always guaranteed," Coogler remarked.

The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were unveiled on Thursday, with Sinners leading the pack with an astonishing 16 nominations.

Featuring Michael B. Jordan, this supernatural thriller has been nominated for several prestigious categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Jordan, Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku, Best Supporting Actor for Delroy Lindo, as well as Original Screenplay, Casting, Production Design, Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound, Visual Effects, Original Score, and Original Song.
