Sinners‘ Wunmi Mosaku, meanwhile, is equally stoked to celebrate with her cast—Ryan Coogler‘s horror epic making history with its 16 nominations, including nods for Mosaku, Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo.
“It feels incredibly humbling to be a part of this legacy of this film,” she told E!. “I would do this job all day, every day forever and ever. And working with Ryan was a dream come true.”
Of course she and her cast aren’t the only ones living out their greatest fantasies.
Joining Mosaku and Taylor in the stacked Actress in a Supporting Role category are Sentimental Value‘s Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning, along with Weapons‘ Amy Madigan. (See all the winners here.)
Meanwhile Byrne, Hudson and Stone are up against Sentimental Value‘s Renate Reinsve and Hamnet‘s Jessie Buckley.
And for the men, Mosaku’s costar Lindo joins Benicio Del Toro, Jacob Elordi, Sean Penn and Stellan Skarsgård in the supporting actor race while the lead actor trophy will go to Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Wagner Moura or Jordan.
As for the contest that takes place before a single trophy is handed out, well, you be the judge.
These stars are done hidin’ the Oscars looks they spent months planning. Now they’re shinin’ like they’re born to be.
