The gothic vampire period drama Sinners has topped the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, securing 17 nods, followed by One Battle After Another with 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ryan Coogler film earned nominations including best picture, director, actor (Michael B. Jordan), supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku), costume and production design.<\/p>\n

Even still, it fell short of the 18 nods Barbie earned two years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n
