It dominates every major category, including Best Picture and Director, with Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo earning acting nods. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another follows with 13 nominations.

Netflix earned major recognition with Best Picture nominations for both Frankenstein and Train Dreams.
