Best Original Screenplay: 'Sorry to Bother You'
A year after Jordan Peele became the first African American to win for Best Original Screenplay, I'd love to see Boots Riley be the second. I'm dreaming, I know. But Riley deserves recognition for Sorry to Bother You, a truly original (and totally bonkers) film and a much-needed shot in the arm in 2018. As safe as the Academy tends to play it, I'm not really holding out hope, but it sure is fun to imagine my favorite Oakland rapper up on that stage with a mic and an audience full of white guys in tuxes. A guy can dream. — James G
