Josh Allen’s wife Hailee Steinfeld left out of ‘Sinners’ Oscar song submissions as studio focuses on top contenders
Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' is a strong awards contender, but Warner Bros. strategically submitted only two original songs for Oscar consideration. "I Lied to You" and "Last Time (I Seen the Sun)" were chosen to avoid splitting votes, despite fan outcry over Hailee Steinfeld's exclusion. Her track didn't meet Academy guidelines for inclusion in the film's narrative.
