"Sinners is a vampire thriller and an unapologetically pulpy one at that. It's a sexy, sweaty, occasionally messy movie - hardly the type of film you imagine when you think 'future Oscar nominee.'"
"Coogler's three previous films earned 13 total Oscar nominations, which gives him a pedigree that few others possess as he aims for Best Picture with Sinners."
Ryan Coogler's latest movie, 'Sinners', is making waves this spring, showcasing a remarkable 6% drop in its second weekend at the box office. This achievement, paired with significant word-of-mouth acclaim, positions Coogler as a leading figure in modern cinema, akin to Christopher Nolan. The Academy's evolving criteria for Oscar nomination eligibility raises 'Sinners' potential for recognition despite its unconventional genre as a vampire thriller. Historically, box office hits have found their way into the Oscars spotlight, suggesting 'Sinners' could follow suit given Coogler's impressive track record of previous nominations.
