I'm banking on some upsets this year, given how wide open some of the categories are. That'd be good! A little excitement for a dying show that outside of people like me and Griz (in purple), noone cares because WHO GOES TO THE MOVIES?? Winners in red.
Alt: Anatomy of a Fall
Years from now, without the context of running with Barbie to make him popular that one summer, noone's gonna understand how Oppenheimer went on a tear and won everything.

Is it an upset if we're all predicting it?

Having seen The Holdovers, I can't believe it is a favourite for an upset in this category. Or any category outside of supporting actress. I guess I still don't like Alexander Payne's work?

It's not going to be Oppenheimer - not its strength. I was going to say Zone of Interest, because it looks serious, but this is Poor Things' best chance outside of Actress and Production. This is a very stacked category though, and anyone could walk away with it, including Barbie (to make up for the lack of a director nom for Greta?).

Gozilla probably had better effects, but The Creator is more of an Oscars-flavour movie. You never know though, it could upset!
