Film industry Reviews and Press tour (Jan.22) Oscar 2026 Sinners Coogler Stone Moura Break Records

Описание: The 2026 Oscar nominations have shattered records and stirred global attention. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners leads with sixteen nominations, breaking the previous record held by All About Eve and Titanic. This achievement marks Coogler’s first nods for directing and screenwriting, cementing his status as a powerhouse in modern cinema. Warner Bros celebrates a historic milestone as Sinners dominates across major categories including best picture, actor, and original score.

British talent narrowly avoided a shut-out thanks to Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo, both recognized for their roles in Sinners. Though the U.K. saw a weaker year overall, their presence ensures some representation at the 98th Academy Awards. Emma Stone added to the excitement by earning dual nominations for best actress and best picture as a producer, making her one of the few actors to achieve such a feat in recent memory.

A groundbreaking moment occurred as international films swept into all four acting categories for the first time. Wagner Moura became Brazil’s first best actor nominee for The Secret Agent, while Norway’s Renate Reinsve earned a spot for Sentimental Value. The Secret Agent also secured Brazil’s second best picture nomination, raising the possibility of a rare back-to-back win in the international film category.

Neon Studios dominated the international feature race with four nominations including It Was Just An Accident, Sentimental Value, The Secret Agent, and Sirāt. This unprecedented sweep underscores the studio’s growing influence in global cinema. Meanwhile, the Academy introduced its first new category in twenty-five years: casting. Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and The Secret Agent were among the inaugural nominees, signaling a renewed appreciation for behind-the-scenes craftsmanship.

Surprises and snubs defined this year’s nominations. Paul Mescal, Miley Cyrus, and Chase Infiniti were notably absent despite strong buzz. Conversely, KPop Demon Hunters earned nods in animated feature and original song, continuing its awards season momentum. The film editing category remains a strong predictor of best picture, with thirty-six past winners sharing both honors, reinforcing its strategic importance for campaigns.

At Sundance, the festival’s final year in Park City drew emotional tributes to Robert Redford from his daughter Amy. The event also spotlighted high-profile titles like Extra Geography and the gripping documentary Hanging By A Wire, which recounts a harrowing cable car rescue in Pakistan. Netflix announced a new documentary on convicted nurse Lucy Letby, set to premiere February fourth, adding to the festival’s mix of art and real-world drama.

The indie market faces challenges, but Sundance still draws major buyers and buzz. Films like Extra Geography and Broken English, featuring Rufus Wainwright and Norah Jones, generated early excitement. With Sinners leading the Oscar race and international films making historic gains, 2026 promises to be a landmark year for cinema. The nominations reflect both tradition and transformation, honoring legacy while embracing global voices....
