A moment for Ryan Coogler, please!

For Ryan Coogler, the 39-year-old director of “Fruitvale Station” and “Black Panther,” it was a crowning moment. One of Hollywood’s most respected and humble filmmakers, Coogler called “Sinners” his most personal film.

“I wrote this script for my uncle who died 11 years ago,” Coogler said in an interview Thursday morning with The Associated Press. “I have to imagine he’s listening to some blues music right now to celebrate.”

Aside from being his favorite, Coogler has a long-term plan for his career. And 25 years after its release, in 2050, he will own Sinners outright. Come on king!

An hour after the nominations were read, Coogler, his wife, producer Zinzi Coogler, and producer Seif Ohanian, were still trying to process the film’s record.

“I love making movies. I’m honored to wake up every day and do it. I was writing last night. That’s why I didn’t get much sleep,” Ryan Coogler said with a laugh. “Honestly, brother, I’m still a little sleepy now.”
