      Sinners Breaks Oscar Nomination Record with 16!
      Hey, I loved Sinners. It was great. And I'm not being a hater here, but 16 seems a little excessive, right? Is this more because it qualifies for so many awards rather being the most exceptional at all of them? If Golden doesn't win Best Original Song, we riot.
