Decent movie, but what the hell?! 2 more than any other movie ever?!
Sounds like some DEI nominations, which is what Hollywood is all about these days

People still give enough of a damn about awards shows to bitch about them?

20 years down the road when someone sees this without knowing any of the reasons behind it people should speak up. This is nothing but DEI Black Privilege pats on the back from white liberals in Hollywood

You're the delusional one if you think this movie deserved the most nominations in academy award history.

From a textual standpoint, I agree that the movie is not one that should hold the record.
From a contextual perspective, maybe. There weren’t really many other big moves this year. Could just be a slow year and a mix between pick g up genre nominations (makeup, special effects, etc) and prestige nominations (best actor, etc).

The previous record of 14 nominations was set by All About Eve, and matched by Titanic and La La Land.
Mary Poppins, Return of the King, Shakespeare in Love, Forrest Gump, Gone with the Wind. All got 13 nominations. What do all these 13s plus Titanic have in common? They were massive, crowd-pleasing blockbusters.
You have the few critical darlings that got such love, All About Eve, La La Land, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (all of which were also box office hits).
Then there's Emilia Perez, which everyone except the American film industry thought was a joke. That's the movie that needs to be forgotten.
Sinners is a massive blockbuster. It is beloved by both audiences and critics. It's a rare blockbuster that is original, features memorable performances, and makes out-of-the-box creative choices.
It's not a film I would personally have given so many nominations to, but it fits the kind of movie that gets so many nominations.
And that's fine, because as much as I enjoy seeing what wins Oscars every year, I'm not a child who needs my exact taste reflected in the choices of awards bodies to feel validated.

Is Sinners the zombie movie my kids wanted me to watch?

Vampire, close enough. It felt like the Black version of From Dusk til Dawn. It was watchable, but it wasn’t great cinema, and it certainly doesn’t deserve the title of Best Picture of any year.

I said the exact same thing! It's Dusk till Dawn but with RACISM! So edgy!

Sinners getting 16 nominations is the 2026 version of letting the help eat inside instead of out back

I thought it was awesome honestly. Loved it. But 16 Oscar noms is hilarious.
Also we had this thread already.

Just watched it this weekend. I didn't think it was terrible, but not 16 Oscar nods worthy by any stretch. Saw Frankenstein and Bugonia right after it this weekend and both were measurably better with respect to their Oscar nods to me.
