film industry and people adjacent to it had already been suffering so much.

And you take things like that away, they feel really silly.

They employ a ton of people.

Like, I went to the Directors Guild Awards and the people at my table work on The Price is Right, which was fascinating.

And they knew all the crew that was making the DGA Awards was, you know, running the inside cameras because they're all just L.A.

crew people.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I mean, you know, the Oscars are so international.

So we're talking about the Brazilian, the Iranian, you know, the British film industry.

So that's part of it, too.

But yes, the L.A.

part of it, especially for all these ancillary smaller awards that might seem really goofy, have a huge economic impact that I don't think anyone should lightly get rid of.

It feels like it's between one battle after another in Sinners, which is fascinating.

A lot of people agree with you.

So they're from the same studio, which is totally fascinating.

Sinners is the bigger box office hit.

It's got more nominations, broke the all-time record for nominations, which is enormous.

There are so many things working in its favor.

It's also a vampire movie.
