The 98th Academy Awards nominations were announced with 'Sinners' leading with a record 16 nominations, including for Best Picture, Actor Michael B. Jordan, and a new category for achievement in casting. 'One Battle After Another' followed with 13 nominations, including for Best Picture and Best Actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Other notable first-time nominees include Jacob Elordi, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku, Teyana Taylor, and the cast of 'Sentimental Value'. Timothée Chalamet was nominated for his second consecutive Best Actor award. The ceremony will be hosted by Conan O'Brien on March 15 and will air on ABC and stream on Hulu. In the acting categories, Jesse Plemons was notably snubbed for his performance in 'Bugonia,' which sparked online frustration and support from his wife, Kirsten Dunst. Dunst posted on Instagram defending Plemons, calling his performance 'transcendent' and a 'crime' that he was not nominated. 'Bugonia' features Plemons as a conspiracy theorist kidnapping a CEO played by Emma Stone, and the film has received critical acclaim, including nominations for Adapted Screenplay and Original Score. The nominations also highlight a variety of films across genres, with 'Wicked: For Good' and Paul Mescal missing out on nominations, and 'Sentimental Value' receiving multiple nods. Many of the nominated films are available for streaming, with 'Sinners' and 'One Battle After Another' accessible on HBO Max, and most major contenders available for digital rental. The awards season continues with other ceremonies like the Golden Globes and Actors Awards leading up to the Oscars.
