We decided to do a little bit of this, a little bit of that – but we do go into Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Actor.

One thing worth mentioning is what a tragic thing all around this year has been for Nate Parker and the filmmakers on Birth of a Nation. It was an extreme example of how damaging the internet’s hive mind can be. Not to negate the crimes of the past but to say nothing anyone ever does from then on should be regarded is a dangerous road to travel down. The story has haunted me all year, and it’s not something I’ll shake any time soon. I do know that it sets up a precedent I can promise you none of will want in the future.
