4. Sheesh, I remember when it took all day AND night.

I usually got home about 4am if everything ran smoothly once I got into the editing booth, back at the bureau. You weren’t finished when the show ended. You just shifted to production and tape editing, and hoped you could read all the notes you took, that looked like somebody on speed had scribbled them.

8. Sinners should have won best pic. I loved that Michael B Jordan won. He was phenomenal

Ryan Coogler is indeed one of the best story tellers in modern movies. From Fruitvale Station, to Black Panther, to Creed to Sinners. I can't wait to see what he does next.
