Meet the Scouser Behind the Oscars

The film Sinners leads with 16 Oscar nominations as Coogler shares a final night with his close-knit cast and crew before the awards ceremony.

  • Ryan Coogler is prioritizing one final night with his Sinners collaborators before Sunday and says he is trying to stay present to enjoy celebrating the films.
  • Since early January, the Sinners cast and creative team toured the awards circuit, building momentum ahead of the Oscars before attending MACRO's 8th Annual Pre-Oscars Party at Aubrey Irmas Pavilion, Los Angeles, which drew more than 700 attendees.
  • At the MACRO party, the Sinners cast and creative team were honored Thursday among nominees of color as Charles D. King praised Coogler's impact, saying 'He's already winning.'
  • Sunday likely marks the last official gathering for the Sinners team, after which Coogler said such get-togethers will become less frequent.
  • Coogler could make Oscar history as the first Black filmmaker to win best director, with Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles blending folklore and historical storytelling.
