Flipping the Bears from 5-12 to NFC North champs in his first season got Ben Johnson in the mix for NFL Coach of the Year.He was named as one of five finalists Thursday along with the Patriots' Mike Vrabel, the Seahawks' Mike Macdonald, the Jaguars' Liam Coen and the 49ers' Kyle Shanahan. Voting is conducted by the Associated Press, and the winner will be announced at the NFL Honors on Feb. 5.Vrabel and Macdonald could meet in the Super Bowl next month. The Patriots are at the Broncos on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game, and the Seahawks host the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.Vrabel, the favorite most of this season, took over a Patriots team that went 4-13 each of the last two seasons and led them to a league-best 14-3 record. The Broncos and Seahawks also went 14-3.The Seahawks went 9-8 in 2022 and '23, then 10-7 last season when Macdonald arrived. Their only losses this season were to the 49ers, Buccaneers and Rams by a total of nine points.The Bears hadn't had a winning season since 2018 when Johnson arrived, and he led them to 11-6 and the North title. They won their first playoff game since the 2010 season by beating the Packers in the wild-card round, then lost 20-17 in overtime to the Rams in the divisional round.

Ryan Coogler’s blues-steeped vampire epic “Sinners” led all films with 16 nominations to the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday, setting a record for the most in Oscar history.Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences voters showered “Sinnners” with more nominations than they had ever bestowed before, breaking the 14-nomination mark set by “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.” Along with best picture, Coogler was nominated for best director and best screenplay, and double-duty star Michael B. Jordan was rewarded with his first Oscar nomination, for best actor.Paul Thomas Anderson’s father-daughter revolutionary saga “One Battle After Another,” the favorite coming into nominations, trailed in second with 13 nominations of its own. Four of its actors — Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn — were nominated, though newcomer Chase Infiniti was left out in best actress.Ten films are nominated for best picture, as read by presenters Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman: “Bugonia,” “F1,” “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme,” “One Battle After Another,” “The Secret Agent,” “Sentimental Value,” “Sinners” and “Train Dreams.”The first category read was supporting actress. The nominees are Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter LilIeaas for “Sentimental Value,” Amy Madigan for “Weapons,” Wunmi Mosaku for “Sinners” and Taylor for “One Battle After Another.”For supporting actor, the nominees are Jacob Elordi for “Frankenstein,” Sean Penn for “One Battle After Another,” Stellan Skarsgård for “Sentimental Value,” Benicio del Toro for “One Battle After Another” and Delroy Lindo for “Sinners.”Warner Bros. is poised for its best Oscar showing in the 102-year-old studio’s history. Both “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners” should lead Warner Bros. to a record haul even as the studio prepares for its sale to Netflix. Earlier this week, Netflix amended its $72 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery to an all-cash offer, sweetening its offer over that of Paramount Skydance.This year, the Oscars are introducing a new category for casting. That new honor helped “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” pad their already impressive stats. Along with those two films, the nominees are “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme” and “The Secret Agent.”“Sinners” can also be found among the nominees for original song: “Golden” from “Kpop Demon Hunters,” “Train Dreams” from “Train Dreams,” “Dear Me” from “Diane Warren: Relentess,” “I Lied To You” from “Sinners” and “Sweet Dreams Of Joy” from “Viva Verdi!”The 98th Academy Awards will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will be televised live on ABC and Hulu. YouTube's new deal to exclusively air won't take effect until 2029. This year, Conan O’Brien will return as host.
