By most people’s predictions, F1 had the ACE in the bag. But now, Sinners has a narrow path to defeat One Battle if it follows the Crash/Parasite model. It just needs the SAG ensemble and it will be there.
I will say I was the only major pundit who accurately called Sinners winning the ACE. You know, even a broken clock is right at least twice a day. Sinners winning this when it was supposed to go to F1 is a very big deal. The Editors Guild is quite influential and shows Sinners is closing in on victory.
We have to wait for PGA and SAG too, of course, but this is a great surprise. Here are the winners from Variety:
