He Got Game
63% overall with a pattern worth knowing: He Got Game opens well and fades. Early-round voters favor it; the films it faces in finals tend not to. Spike Lee's basketball drama is personal, specific, and unapologetic in ways that make it a wild card on any ballot. Voters who connect with its frequency are immovable; voters who don't will reach for something safer. Decisions come fast at 1.5s average. This is a film people have opinions about before the matchup asks for one.
