The recognition for 'Sinners' specifically highlights how Coogler keeps expanding beyond the superhero space while maintaining thematic consistency. His writing typically embeds systemic critique inside genre frameworks, which is harder to execute than either pure genre or pure social commentary alone. Curious to see if the script innovates structurally or if the nomination reflects thematic execution over form.
