We are officially one week away from the Oscar's and all the precursors (being the award shows that happen before the Oscar's) have come and gone. Here's where I think the Oscar's will go on March 10th.
Picture: Oppenheimer
It's a done deal.
Director: Christopher Nolan - Oppenheimer
Original Screenplay: Anatomy of a Fall
After unexpectedly winning the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay it immediately became the front-runner in the category besting previous front-runners The Holdovers and Barbie (which got switched over to Adapted anyway). Having picked up the BAFTA in the same category, it's locked.
Adapted Screenplay: American Fiction
Also having won the BAFTA for Adapted Screenplay, beating out Poor Things and Oppenheimer (which BAFTA loved) this is also pretty clearly the favorite to win here. Two weak winners in a row for this category imo.
Lead Actor: Cillian Murphy - Oppenheimer
This seemed obvious for a long time, but now that he's swept all the awards it's a done deal..
Lead Actress: Lilly Gladstone - Killers of the Flower Moon
This is actually a tight race between her and Emma Stone in Poor Things. They both won the Globe and Stone won the BAFTA while Gladstone won SAG. Gladstone wasn't even nominated at BAFTA (despite the jury being there to nominate minorities) which complicated the race. However, with SAG having gone after BAFTA I think that'll have more influence and give Gladstone more momentum. Also, most of the time when SAG gives Best Ensemble to the eventual Picture winner they tend to go 4/4 in the acting categories.
Supporting Actor: Robert Downey Jr. - Oppenheimer
He swept like Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Supporting Actress: D'avine Joy Randolph - The Holdovers
Also swept.
Original Score: Oppenheimer
Original Song: What Was I Made For? from Barbie
Sound: Oppenheimer
Production Design: Poor Things
Cinematography: Oppenheimer
Makeup & Hairstyling: Maestro
Costume Design: Barbie
Poor Things won BAFTA, however BAFTA as a whole did not like Barbie very much. And there's too much iconography attached to the film in this category that I think the Oscar's will go for it over Poor Things.
Film Editing: Oppenheimer
Visual Effects: The Creator
After the branch snubbed both Oppenheimer and Poor Things, it muddled the winner in this category. People initially thought Guardians of the Galaxy 3 would be the winner. But there's pretty severe anti-superhero bias in the category. The Creator won at the VFX guild, it's flashy, it looks good, and it's somewhat of a "serious" movie.
Animated Feature: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
This isn't as clear as a race as I thought it would have been. Globes and BAFTA went with Boy and the Heron in this category while Critic's Choice and PGA went with Spider-Verse. The Oscar's usually goes populist in this category (eg they went with Toy Story 4 when Globes and BAFTA went in a more artsy direction). So I'm sticking with Spider-Man here.
Documentary Feature: 20 Days in Mariupol
Live Action Short: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
This would give Wes Anderson his first Oscar win, if the Academy doesn't blue ball him.
Animated Short: Letter to a Pig
Documentary Short: The ABC's of Book Banning
