| The Favourite could be a major player. |
I'm currently predicting nine Best Picture nominees, including the newly-added Green Book. (Also, fringe contenders like Ad Astra and Peterloo have moved to next year.) I expect the main contenders are A Star is Born, Roma, First Man, Green Book, and The Favourite, but I wonder if a film we're all overlooking could sneak in. This time last year I never would've thought The Shape of Water was our Best Picture winner, though I'm guessing A Star is Born could win this year. Anyways, here's where I'm at right now.

Stone and Weisz being in Supporting would be a bit of category fraud wouldn't it? From what I've read they both actually have more screen time than Coleman. Not that the Academy has ever batted an eyelash at that before.
ReplyDeleteI want Cynthia Erivo for Bad Times at the El Royale to be a surprise Supporting contender. It's a long shot but she was so good in that.
True. But BSA is where Stone and Weisz are being campaigned, so I think they could both get in there.
DeleteErivo was great. I'd love for her to get a nom too.
I strongly agree with your predictions, i would put Jenkins instead of Lee in director, Aparicio (my lead actress winner so far) instead of Close and one of the Vice guys instead of Chalamet.
ReplyDeleteOverall i think Roma or the Favourite could win, for the former i could see it winning BP, BD, BFL and cinematography, while the latter could do sweep the awards, with BP, BD, Supporting Actress (Weisz), Actress, O. Screenplay, Costumes and Production Design.
I haven't seen Roma or The Favourite yet. I think A Star is Born could win Best Picture, but I'll have to watch the competition to get a better perspective. It won't surprise me if Chalamet isn't nominated, as I've had my doubts about the film for a while.
