"A few weeks ago, I wrote about a possible Sinners surge, noting that Ryan Coogler's film didn't necessarily have to beat One Battle After Another for the top prize at BAFTA, it just needed to pick up high-profile wins in categories like Original Screenplay and Supporting Actress. That's exactly what happened, though Team Sinners may rue not winning Casting, which went to the British film I Swear."
"Coming in the thick of final Oscar voting, the one-two punch of Saturday's Producers Guild of America Awards and Sunday's Actor Awards, née SAG Awards, will send a strong signal about where we're heading in the season's final stretch."
"The window is closing pretty quick. Anybody who wants to make up ground will have to do so this weekend. With apologies to Hamnet, losing at BAFTA likely puts the kibosh on the Tudor tearjerker's Best Picture hopes. So we're down to a two-horse race between OBAA and Sinners."
Sinners achieved critical BAFTA victories in Original Screenplay and Supporting Actress, maintaining its position in the Best Picture competition despite One Battle After Another's strong performance. The film won the Score category but missed opportunities in Casting and other craft awards. With final Oscar voting underway, the upcoming Producers Guild of America Awards and SAG Awards will provide decisive signals about the season's trajectory. Most major Oscar categories remain competitive, except Best Director and Best Actress, which appear favored for One Battle After Another's Paul Thomas Anderson and Jessie Buckley. Hamnet's BAFTA losses likely eliminate it from Best Picture contention, leaving a two-horse race between One Battle After Another and Sinners.
