Vampire horror movie Sinners has made Oscars history - picking up a record 16 nominations, the most ever for a single film.

It beats the previous record of 14 received by All About Eve in 1951, Titanic in 1998 and La La Land in 2018.

Michael B Jordan is nominated for his starring role, alongside British actors Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo, while Jessie Buckley is tipped to win best actress for Hamnet.
