Paul Thomas Anderson's political thriller came out on top with 16 mentions on the longlists, shortly followed by Chloé Zhao's Shakespearean heartbreaker Hamnet and Ryan Coogler's slick vampire film Sinners with 14 apiece. Following closely behind them was Josh Safdie's wild ping-pong caper Marty Supreme (13), Yorgos Lanthimos' black comedy Bugonia (12) and Guillermo del Toro's gothic classic Frankenstein (12). Both Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value and Jon M. Chu's Wicked: For Good also scored high on the longlists, appearing eight times each. Apart from Wicked, they're all in contention for best film, as is The Ballad of Wallis Island, Nuremberg and I Swear.
