By Oscars standards, this all adds up to a pretty chill atmosphere. Many of the recipients who took the stage seemed especially eager to shout out their fellow nominees, acknowledging that everyone in the room likely has a similar goal: to preserve cinema as an art form that mass audiences still care about. Michael B. Jordan, accepting the Best Actor award for Sinners, gave thanks to God, his family, his team, and the movie’s cast and crew, before concluding his lovely speech by expressing gratitude to theatergoers who saw the film again and again when it came out almost a year ago. They were the ones, he said, who helped make the movie into the unexpected box-office phenomenon it became.
