The Oscars didn’t match the level of the NAACP Image Awards in awarding Sinners and we didn’t expect them to. But many people expressed their disappointment in Sinners not winning in some of its other nominated categories. Best Picture winner One Battle After Another was this year’s Oscars sweetheart, winning six of the 13 awards it was up for. It’s no surprise that a film concerned with exploring the essence of a revolution rather than naming the specifics of its cause became the most winning film of a show that seemed unsure of itself. The Academy called a rare tie for the live-action short film category, an absent Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor for playing a white supremacist while costar Benicio del Toro and Sinners’ Delroy Lindo got snubbed and producers played favorites in cutting off some winners and not others who were equally long-winded, including the songwriting team for K-Pop Demon Hunters’ “Golden.”
