The 98th Oscar Nominations Sinners Makes History
The nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were announced today, and the entire town of Hollywood seems to be talking only about one movie, Sinners, which by all definitions is a grungy independent film released by A24, that has earned 12 Academy Award nominations. The film has set a milestone, now tying for third place for most Academy Award nominations for a single film, alongside Titanic and All About Eve. This shows that a smaller film can break through during an era of larger theatrical releases. For production companies and indie filmmakers, taking risks on fresh talent and ideas outside the usual mold can pay off, especially when they stay true to what they believe is best for the project.
