"Ryan Coogler's blues-steeped vampire epic 'Sinners' led all films with 16 nominations this year, setting a record for the most in Oscar history. This breaks the 14-nomination mark set by 'All About Eve' (1950) and 'Titanic' (1997). 'La La Land' (2016) also boasts 14 nods, but did not win best picture."
"'Titanic' is also one of three movies to win a record 11 awards, joined by 'Ben-Hur' (1959) and 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' (2003). Yet the latter takes the cake for being the most-nominated movie to win in every single nominated category."
"When 'Parasite' won best picture in 2020, it became the first non-English language film to take home the Academy's highest honor. At the time, it was only the second time a non-English language film has made the nominees list. 'Grand Illusion' (1938), in French, was the first."
The Academy has nominated 621 films for best picture across nearly 100 years. Ryan Coogler's vampire epic 'Sinners' leads this year with a record 16 nominations, breaking the previous record of 14 held by 'All About Eve,' 'Titanic,' and 'La La Land.' 'Titanic,' 'Ben-Hur,' and 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' each won 11 awards, with the latter winning in every nominated category. Notable milestones include 'Parasite' becoming the first non-English language best picture winner in 2020, and only three best picture winners directed by women. Few sequels win best picture, with only two victories: 'The Godfather Part II' and 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.'
