“Sinners,” a historical vampire/horror film directed by Ryan Coogler, isn’t the typical Oscar-bait drama, which makes its sweep across major and technical categories especially noteworthy. Multiple outlets (BBC, Variety, Vanity Fair, and others) all confirm the same headline stat: 16 nominations, the most ever for a single movie in Academy history.
