Hear Us Out: The Real Stars of This Years's Oscars Are the Filming Locations

"This Southern Gothic drama had everyone racing to the cinema. Cleverly blending horror, supernatural and toe-tapping music, Sinners is a masterclass in how to keep an audience on the edge of their seats. The film takes us to the Mississippi Delta in 1932 (and was filmed in nearby Louisiana)."

"We spoke to Academy Award-winning production designer and New Orleans local Hannah Beachler, the brains behind the set, to find out more about creating the eerie scenes that hooked so many viewers-and the powerful performance from Michael B. Jordan that earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor (after the film had a record-breaking 16 nominations)."

"Jessie Buckley has the world fighting back tears often, it seems-first, with her heart-wrenching performance in Hamnet, and then as she took to the stage to accept her first Oscar award for the film. Buckley plays Anne Hathaway, also known as Agnes, William Shakespeare's wife and mother to his children."
