This is called revaluing a brand: Warner, awaiting acquisition by Netflix, It has swept the nominations for the 2026 Oscars. The sinners, with 16, and One battle after anotherWith 13 films each, these two are destined to dominate the headlines on March 16th. For the moment, The sinnersThe film, directed by Ryan Coogler and available on HBO, can already boast a title: it's the most nominated film in Oscar history.

Or not to fall victim to another curse, that of Martin Scorsese, who has seen three of his films that started with 10 nominations go without an award: Gangs of New York (2002), The Irishman (2019) and The Killers of the Moon (2023).
