Surprising to see Blue Moon here over The Secret Agent, and I'm bummed cuz I enjoyed the latter more. But Richard Linklater had a hell of a year, so... happy for him I suppose!

As for the win, this is 100% Sinners' prize - as it's less likely to win Picture or Director, Coogler NEEDS to win here. And will.

I'd write more, but time is super limited juggling teaching life with this terrific play that I'm in - to the point that I'm copying & pasting this excuse on each category page, lol! 🤣🤷‍♂️
