### ‘Sinners’ breaks record for most Oscar nominations with 16

**Danielle Brooks** and **Lewis Pullman** revealed nominees in all 24 categories on Thursday morning. It was a historic day for *Sinners*, with **Ryan Coogler**’s film scoring a record 16 nominations, easily passing the previous record of 14 held by *All About Eve*, *Titanic* and *La La Land*.

Before we dive into all the nominees, let’s all laugh at the Academy giving *Avatar: Fire and Ash* — a movie featuring fully CGI characters — a nomination for Costume Design ...

### There’s too much f\*cking sh\*t on Joel Kinnaman

Apple TV release the first teaser for Season 5 of *For All Mankind* this week, but more importantly was a picture of **Joel Kinnaman** looking like **Tim Robinson** as he sighs that “there’s too much fucking shit on me” in that one *I Think You Should Leave* sketch.

I love to picture Kinnaman sitting in a makeup chair for hours as the *For All Mankind*special effects team layers him prosthetics in order to play an increasingly ancient version of Ed Baldwin while all of his costars get a few brushes of gray in their hair and head to set.

[Popculturology Box Office Report: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ has the antidote for ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’The ’28 Years Later’ sequel was expected to dethrone James Cameron’s latest sequel, but a soft opening allowed ‘Fire and Ash’ to remain at No. 1.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/icon/circle-rebrand-87.png)The OmnicosmBill Kuchman![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/thumbnail/lede-011926-BO.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/avatar-fire-and-ash-has-the-antidote-for-28-years-later-the-bone-temple/)

###### Snackology • Roundup

### I raided Target’s Sour Patch Kids stock for this candy roundup

I’m always on the lookout for new things to review at **Snackology**. Sometimes that vigilance means scoping out the seasonal aisle at the grocery store. Other times it means scrolling through the Target app looking for items with the “New at 🎯” note next to them.

That’s how I realized a bunch of new varieties of Sour Patch Kids just hit stores. (Or at least became available at Target, putting them on my radar.)

I quickly added six of these items to my cart: **Sour Patch Kids Cherry**, **Sour Patch Kids MVP Top Picks Mix**, **Sour Patch Kids Fruits Tropical Mix**, **Sour Patch Kids Besties**, **Sour Patch Kids Candy Strips** and **Sour Patch Kids Chews**.

###### Snackology • Thoughts for Food

### Taco Bell gets fancy with its new Luxe Value Menu

We’re somehow two thirds through January, and **Snackology** has yet to do a Taco Bell review in 2026\. That changes right now. You’re about to dig into the BIGGEST Taco Bell review in **Snackology** history.

The fast food chain launched its **Luxe Value Menu** for Taco Bell Rewards Members last week, and the entire ten-item lineup is set to become available for everyone this Thursday. Taco Bell’s revamped value menu picks up where its Cravings Menu left off, with every single item available to be purchased for your eating pleasure for less than three bucks a piece.

###### Deep SNL Thoughts • Episode Review

### ‘SNL’ kicks off 2026 with a forgettable Finn Wolfhard episode

*SNL*’s been off since before Christmas, and maybe it should’ve taken another week to recoup? *Stranger Things* star **Finn Wolfhard** made his hosting debut last night, but this episode came and went without leaving any kind of lasting impact. 

After watching my Buffalo Bills suffer another catastrophic, heartbreaking postseason loss earlier on Saturday, I honestly didn’t expect to stay up and watch *SNL*. I was out of town and bouncing back from what I’m pretty sure was some kind of food poisoning courtesy of a central Pennsylvania fast-food stop, but how could I skip (or delay) watching *SNL*’s first episode of 2026?

It turns out I wouldn’t have missed anything.
