Who will take home Oscar gold at the 98th Academy Awards?
So far, this awards season has been a race between two movies. Ryan Coogler’s breathtaking vampire film Sinners set an Oscar record with 16 nominations, making it the most Oscar-nominated film of all time. Elsewhere, Paul Thomas Anderson’s revolutionary epic One Battle After Another has been dominating awards season, taking home top honors at precursor awards like the Critics’ Choice Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, DGA Awards, PGA Awards, and WGA Awards. However, Sinners‘ ensemble win at the Actor Awards could signal an Oscars surge for the film.
