We break down what went wrong and why 'Sinners' stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo deserved better from BAFTA. Plus, Awardist host Gerrad Hall and EW Sr. Editor Joyce Eng analyze the impact of the winners there, including those for 'Sinners' star Wunmi Mosaku and 'One Battle After Another' star Sean Penn.
