Ryan Coogler, the director of 'Sinners', expressed his delight at the impressive Oscar nominations the movie has recieved this year for the upcoming Academy Awards.

In an interview with Variety, Ryan Coogler said he feels fortunate for the recognition his movie recieved from the Oscar jury.

"I was very impressed by everything that my collaborators were doing every day, so I'm so happy that everybody got recognised by their peers. Obviously, I'm biased. I think these folks I work with are some of the best in the world. I feel really fortunate. Because it doesn't always go that way," said Ryan Coogler as quoted by Variety.

The nominations for the 98th Academy Award were announced on Thursday, with 'Sinners' leading the race, with a record-breaking 16 nods.

Starring Michael B Jordan in the lead, the supernatural thriller received nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Jordan, Best Supporting Actress for Wunmi Mosaku, Best Supporting Actor for Delroy Lindo, Original Screenplay, Casting, Production Design, Cinematography, Costume design, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound, Visual Effects, Original Score, and Original Song for 'I Lied to You', reported Variety.

The film has broken the record for the most nominations for a single film ever, beating previous record holders like 'Titanic', 'La La Land', and 'All About Eve'.

'Sinners' has also emerged as the seventh movie to be nominated in every technical category, reported Variety.

The film has been followed closely by Leonardo DiCaprio's 'One Battle After Another', which picked up 13 nominations, including Best Picture. Others in the race are 'Frankenstein', 'Bugonia', 'Hamnet', 'Marty Supreme', 'Sentimental Value', 'Train Dreams', 'F1', and 'The Secret Agent'. (ANI)
