They have hit the Globes, Critics Choice, and BAFTA longlists. SAG is going to be a big one to see if anyone can breakthrough. Hugh Grant is a real possibility, but horror is tough. Globe nominees like Sebastian Stan, Jesse Eisenberg, Glen Powell, Gabriel LaBelle, and Jesse Plemmons will have a big platform Sunday night. Don't discount Paul Mescal and Nicholas Hoult, and BAFTA longlist surprises Dev Patel and Kingsley Ben Adir.
