The nominations will be announced on Thursday at 5:30am in Los Angeles (8.30pm in Thailand), with the 98th Oscars ceremony to be held on March 15. It is expected to land a best actor nomination for Michael B Jordan, who plays two twins battling vampires and racists in 1930s Mississippi, plus everything from screenplay to score. For Variety awards expert Clayton Davis, the nominations record is within reach for Sinners. Former best actor Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio is all but certain to secure his seventh acting nomination from the Academy. The Secret Agent star Wagner Moura, playing a scientist on the run from Brazil’s 1970s dictatorship, is expected to vie with DiCaprio and Jordan for best actor.
