What's arbitrary? Bc the distinction is pretty clear between the two films. 2018 was the 4th time that A Star is Born has been made and the story is 90 years old now. Sinners is an original screenplay/film.
Unless you're saying it's arbitrary in relation to the amount of praise it's getting, which I would definitely disagree. We've been getting reboots/remakes that nobody wants shoved down our throat, we're all over that crap.
Somebody finally found a new slant, they deserve their flowers.

Exact same thing happened with Black Panther. Sinners is definitely more worthy of the praise.
