"Why don't we talk about 'Sinners.' That's right, 'Sinners,'" Moffat's Carlson says when asked his thoughts on this year's leading best picture nominees. "Leftist woke America's favorite movie this year is about sinning, huh? Really, why does that not surprise me? Sorry kids, we don't go to church anymore, we go to 'Sinners.' That's the rule. That's the goal now."
