how many nominations did sinners get

The film Sinners has received a huge amount of awards attention, but the key headline number people are talking about right now is:

  • 16 Oscar nominations at the 98th Academy Awards, which is being widely reported as a new record for a horror film and one of the highest tallies ever for any movie.

In addition, for context on how big its run has been:

  • It led the 31st Critics Choice Awards film field with 17 nominations , just one shy of the all‑time record of 18 set by Barbie two years earlier.
  • Mid-season, it was up for seven Astra Midseason Movie Awards across six categories and went on to win all of them, underscoring its status as a critical favorite well before the major guilds and Oscars weighed in.

So if the question is “how many nominations did Sinners get?” in the sense most people are using it online right now, they usually mean the Oscars number: 16 nominations , plus that eye‑catching 17‑nod sweep at Critics Choice in the broader awards conversation.

In forum and social chatter, fans often frame it as “16 at the Oscars, 17 at Critics Choice,” using those two big milestones as shorthand for just how dominant the film’s awards run has become.
