- At the National Board of Review gala in New York, the Sinners writer-director said, "I was young and naive" to think Fruitvale Station would stop people being "executed by civil servants on camera."
- He told the room his "heart is there right now" in Minnesota and said he "can’t be here and not think about Renee."
- Coverage from Complex and Variety noted he connected the moment to his 2014 NBR recognition for Fruitvale Station, which depicted the killing of Oscar Grant.
- The Golden Globes days earlier featured “Be Good” and “ICE Out” pins, and The Hollywood Reporter said Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus invoked Good during their NBR remarks.
- Good, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, an incident that has prompted protests, with federal officials asserting self-defense.
