Vampire horror film "Sinners" has broken the record for most Oscar nominations by a single film, after being nominated for 16 of Hollywood's most coveted awards.
The film broke the previous record of 14 nominations and came out ahead of its closest rival this year, Leonardo DiCaprio's thriller "One Battle After Another," which is nominated for 13 awards.
"Sinners" contenders include its star Michael B Jordan and his British co-stars Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo.
Other stars nominated for the trophy include Timothee Chalamet, who is hoping for third time lucky after two previous nominations, and Irish actress Jessie Buckley, who is the favorite to win the best actress award for her role in the film Hamnet.
However, there was no room for her co-star, Paul Mescal, who starred opposite Buckley as William Shakespeare in Hamnet; while Wicked: For Good and its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were completely absent.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Hollywood on March 15.
