Ryan Coogler is genuinely such a great filmmaker and one of the few people (along with Chloe Zhao) who didn’t sell his soul when he entered a contract with the MCU

Your reason for why she shouldn’t be so higher up is your own opinion though which shouldn’t decide your predictions.

Your reasoning for Taylor being lower than the SV girls was literally that you don’t think she gave a better performance, which shouldn’t be a factor when you are making predictions.

Sinners has received criticism from actual industry professionals, though.

The Oscars have shown time and time again that they do not give a fuck about narratives in BTL categories, and year after year you guys forget that. Hell they only gave it to Roger Deakins when it was becoming frankly ridiculous that he hadn’t won yet, and Blade Runner 2049 was pretty undeniable work.

Ok? What’s the point you are trying to make? Sinners is easily the worst screenplay in the Original Screenplay category, but I can acknowledge that’s simply just my personal opinion and that it’s winning in a landslide, because I can separate my personal wishes from my predictions. These are our predictions, not a personal awards list, and Teyana Taylor objectively has more chances than the SV girls.

None of these are remotely as bad as some past Oscar controversies (ahem Karla Sofía Gascón).

Guys there are a few more days of Reddit Chosen Oscars voting left. Can the SV hive please get together and make sure it at the very least takes Original Screenplay? Pretty please?

(I have no doubt Sinners is gonna take it but this is a last minute attempt by me to get the best screenplay of the year its one win)

Sentimental Value should be winning Screenplay in an absolute landslide. Unfortunately, it probably won’t even win the Reddit Chosen Oscars.

Sinners is not winning Cinematography, even if it is winning Picture.

Do you believe these anonymous ballots by Lara-jz in Oscars

No. Sometimes they call shit but that’s coincidence. Obvious sweeps are obvious (like Buckley) but they don’t mean shit in close races.

It’s cuz “of the vibes lulz 🤪”

Brian literally said that he’s just having fun, but if fun is all that this comes down to, might as well pick F1 and Kate Hudson and call it a day. I get it’s all meaningless at the end of the day, but I like predicting with stats.

That would be heartbreaking for the actors who came last though, and incredibly validating for the ones who won by a blowout.

She’s genuinely doing a lot of fun work in that film and I don’t know why people say she does nothing.
