- The PGA uses a preferential ballot like the Academy and has aligned with Best Picture most years, including the last five seasons, though its vote closed on Feb. 5.
- The film’s sweep now includes major wins at BAFTA, the Directors Guild Awards, the Golden Globes and Critics Choice, consolidating its frontrunner status.
- Rival Sinners kept its challenge alive with the Actors Awards’ ensemble honor and a lead-actor win for Michael B. Jordan on Sunday, showing strong support from performers.
- Accepting the PGA award, Anderson thanked Warner Bros. chiefs Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca as the ceremony noted industry unease over the studio’s pending sale to Paramount Skydance.
