The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has unveiled its highly-anticipated Oscar nominations on Thursday, setting the stage for what can be described as Hollywood's biggest night. Leading the race was Michael B Jordan's 'Sinners' with a record-setting 16 nods, closely followed by A-list titles like 'One Battle After Another', 'Marty Supreme', 'Sentimental Value', and 'Frankenstein', among others.

Among the leading acting awards, Timothee Chalamet scripted history as the youngest man with his third Best Actor nod at the Oscars. Others in the race are Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B Jordan (Sinners), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).

International films scored well this time again, while the Animated Feature race was graced by the highest-grossing Hollywood toon 'Zootopia 2' and Netflix's popular hit 'KPop Demon Hunters'.
