Ryan Coogler\u2019s period vampire drama \u201cSinners\u201d set an Oscar record Thursday morning, earning 16 nominations<\/a>, the most ever received by a single film.<\/p>\n

The total surpassed the previous high of 14 nominations, a milestone shared by \u201cAll About Eve\u201d (1950), \u201cTitanic\u201d (1997) and \u201cLa La Land\u201d (2016).<\/p>\n
