00:00Congratulations to all of this year's nominees.
00:03Ryan Coogler's blues-tipped vampire epic scene has led All Fames with 16 nominations
00:09to the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday, setting a record for the most in Oscar history.
00:15My big takeaway is that there's a slate of diversity for the Oscar nominations.
00:20You have everything from one battle after another,
00:23sentimental value, song song blue, begonia, weapons, a horror movie, sinners, an epic horror movie.
00:33We've been going a long time.
00:35Academy of Motion Pictures' art and science's voters showered sinners with more nominations
00:40than they had ever bestowed before breaking the 14 nomination mark set by All About I, Titanic and La La La Land.
00:48Music's so true. It can conjure spirits from the past and the future.
00:55I mean, I think what you see now is Hollywood is very reactionary.
00:59They're very knee-jerk, so they see sinners getting all these nominations.
01:02You know what's happening? Everyone right now in Hollywood is going,
01:06find me the next sinner, find me the next sinner.
01:09But the thing is, Sinners is just so original. It is a Ryan Coogler original.
01:14You can't just duplicate it.
01:16The senior editor at Variety, Mark Malkin, was struck by the diversity across the nominations
01:22and the cheers from the room each time Sinners racked up a nod in a new category.
01:28There was also an Oscar snuff for Mili Saras, according to Malkin,
01:32with a dreamiest one from Avatar, Fire and Ash missing from the original song category.
01:37I think the big standout this year is Wicked for Good.
01:40Wicked for Good got zero nominations.
01:43This has to be a letdown.
01:45I mean, the first Wicked got so many nominations.
01:48I know Ariana Grande really wanted a nomination.
01:51And Wicked, nothing. Miley Cyrus.
01:54She literally went up to James Cameron at the Oscars and said,
01:58Hey, I'm looking for work.
02:00He gave her this song.
02:01She created this song for Avatar, but no nomination.
02:04I wanted to protect you from all your mom's stuff and all my stuff,
02:14even though I know that's impossible.
02:16This is the end of the line.
02:18Not for you.
