The Oscar Narrative: Final Winner Predictions - Best Picture and Best Director

Best Picture
Will Win - Anora
Should Win - Anora or Wicked
Could Win - Conclave
Commentary - The battle for Best Picture has not been this hot in awhile, and it is closer probably than it has been since Gravity and 12 Years a Slave over a decade ago. Both Anora and Conclave are early favorites that lied in waiting with Wicked, The Brutalist, and even A Complete Unknown came and went. Then at the finish line with the guild awards and BAFTA, these two films reemerged as the main contenders. It has thrown this entire season for a loop. Anora has PGA, DGA, WGA, and Critics Choice. Conclave has SAG, BAFTA, and would have won WGA had it been eligible. So the preferential ballot favors those that are acting and writing over more directorial films. Your 1917 versus Parasite, CODA versus The Power of the Dog, Green Book versus Roma. So in that vein, it feels like Conclave is the bigger contender. But, Anora is also a film that also has the acting and writing factor. It also has won on two preferential ballots and has shown some international support. But Conclave is the film that will probably most inspire the older voters. Over the years, I have gotten a lot better about this category, after my initial mistakes not being able to navigate the preferential ballot. But this year, I am completely stumped. My head says Conclave, my heart says Anora. I am sticking with Anora. I think that it is the best film of the bunch, I think that it has a lot of great mix of voters that love it, and I think it will cross the finish line with a nice Oscar statuette. 

Best Director
Will Win - Sean Baker "Anora"
Could Win - Brady Corbet "The Brutalist"
Should Win - Sean Baker "Anora" or James Mangold "A Complete Unknown"
Commentary - Another fierce battle. Brady Corbet has BAFTA and Sean Baker has DGA. They both have great track records. Part of me feels a split coming, but we all know it is a safer bet to pick both if they are both nominated. Corbet feels like the more classical winner, but Baker has finished strong.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Winner Predictions - Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress

Best Actor
Will Win - Adrien Brody "The Brutalist"
Could Win - Timothee Chalamet "A Complete Unknown"
Should Win - Ralph Fiennes "Conclave" or Colman Domingo "Sing Sing"
Commentary - Timothee Chalamet's SAG win did but a crack in the Adrien Brody wall heading right to the finish line. Is it a sign that Brody's campaign has faltered? Or is it just a bump in the road. I still think that Brody will finish strong and win, but I will not be jaw-dropped if a surprise happens. 

Best Actress
Will Win - Mikey Madison "Anora"
Could Win - Demi Moore "The Substance" or Fernanda Torres "I'm Still Here"
Should Win - Madison, Moore, Torres, or Erivo
Commentary - What a race this has become at the finish line. Demi Moore is the most obvious choice, with the large majority of major precursors, especially SAG. Mikey Madison though, won the BAFTA, which is the group that sees a large group across different branches voting on all of the awards. Then there is the Fernanda Torres factor. She won at the Globes, and since then her film and her performance have been on an upward trajectory. There is definitely a lot of buzz for her performance. This is the first time that all three have faced off against each other, and all three are in Best Picture nominees. My heart tells me Demi, who has worked for so long to get to this moment. My head tells me that the surge of Torres support is enough to surprise. My gut tells me that Madison's BAFTA win was no fluke, and that she wins in a tight, completely crazy race. 

Best Supporting Actor
Will Win - Kieran Culkin "A Real Pain" 
Could Win - Jeremy Strong "The Apprentice"
Should Win - Yura Borisov "Anora" or Edward Norton "A Complete Unknown"
Commentary - Kieran has swept everything, and none of the other contenders have managed to breakthrough. I think he wins in a walk.

Best Supporting Actress
Will Win - Zoe Saldana "Emilia Perez"
Could Win - Isabella Rossellini "Conclave"
Should Win - Ariana Grande "Wicked"
Commentary - The big question of the night is: how bad is the Emilia Perez controversy? Did it hurt the film so much that Saldana gets snubbed at the finished line? I don't think so. I also think that it can still win several Oscars despite everything. She has swept every major precursor, and I think there is enough goodwill for her as an actress and a performance to make her finish strong and win.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Winner Predictions - Best Adapted Screenplay, Original Screenplay, Animated Feature, Documentary Feature, and International Feature

Best Adapted Screenplay
Will Win - Peter Straughn "Conclave"
Could Win - RaMell Ross & Joslyn Barnes "Nickel Boys"
Should Win - Conclave or Nickel Boys
Commentary - Conclave has dominated these precursors except for the WGA where it was not eligible. There, the writers went with Nickel Boys, which is in a solid place to upset. If Conclave though is a big as we think it is, and a potential BP winner, I think it collects this prize along the way. 

Best Original Screenplay
Will Win - Sean Baker "Anora"
Could Win - Jesse Eisenberg "A Real Pain" or Coralie Fargeat "The Substance"
Should Win - Sean Baker "Anora"
Commentary - Jesse Eisenberg has a real upper hand here with a surprise win at BAFTA. Sean Baker won at WGA. Coralie Fargeat won at the Critics Choice. My gut tells me not to ignore the BAFTA win, but I think if Anora is going to win Best Picture, it will squeak out a close one here. 

Best Animated Feature
Will Win - The Wild Robot
Could Win - Flow
Should Win - The Wild Robot
Commentary - Flow could surprise here, as it has stayed strong throughout the season, and is well-liked by voters. But The Wild Robot has done incredibly well with a lot of guilds, and when BAFTA was given the chance to vote, they chose Wallace & Gromit instead of Flow. Also, while the Animation Branch has always been daring with its nominations, annually rewarding foreign and indie contenders, the only one of those contenders two cross the finish line were the two Miyazaki films. I think the more mainstream The Wild Robot will take the prize.

Best Documentary Feature
Will Win - Porcelain War
Could Win - No Other Land
Should Win - Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat
Commentary - No Other Land has been the critical favorite, but still lacks distribution. It could definitely win here, and make a big statement on the Israel/Gaza conflict. But after the DGA win, and the Ukraine subject matter, which really came to a head during voting, I think that Porcelain War is going to surprise with a win.

Best International Feature
Will Win - I'm Still Here (Brazil)
Could Win - Emilia Perez (France)
Should Win - I'm Still Here
Commentary - What a shift this category has had in the last few weeks. This was locked and loaded for Emilia Perez, and I'm going to be honest: don't be surprised if it wins this in a walk. But the emergence of I'm Still Here has been fascinating to watch, at the same time that Emilia Perez's many controversies came to a head. I know there are plenty of voters that don't care about the controversies and love the movie. I also know that many of the voters are finally catching up with I'm Still Here after Torres won the Globe, and are really loving it. It will be a close race, but I expect the upset.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Winner Predictions - Best Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, and Production Design

Best Cinematography
Will Win - The Brutalist
Could Win - Nosferatu, Dune: Part II, or Maria
Should Win - The Brutalist
Commentary - The ASC threw the curveball of Maria. I would love to see something wild like that happen, but I don't know if the larger Academy will respond the same way. BAFTA, and a lot of the other precursors, settled on The Brutalist, and I think it will reign here. I would also watch for Dune: Part II. The first film won here, and we have seen some overlap with Visual Effects, Cinematography, and Production Design. This year, it may split three ways, but don't be shocked if it doesn't. 

Best Costume Design
Will Win - Wicked
Could Win - Conclave
Should Win - Wicked
Commentary - These costumes have swept pretty much every award leading up to the Oscars. They are the biggest, the boldest, and the best. I think the streak continues. 

Best Film Editing
Will Win - Conclave
Could Win - Anora or The Brutalist
Should Win - Conclave's BAFTA win was telling, and honestly, without the ACE Eddies weighing in until after the Oscars, we don't have the other major precursor (and many of the precursors went with Challengers, which was unceremoniously snubbed here). I think Anora is a still a possibility, especially if it is strong enough to win Best Picture, and despite the fact that it would be ridiculous, don't count out The Brutalist.

Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Will Win - The Substance
Could Win - Wicked or A Different Man
Should Win - The Substance
Commentary - Makeup winners tend to be the most obvious makeup, the most stylized, the most over the top. This helps The Substance a lot. It did well at the Makeup and Hairstyling Guild, won the BAFTA, and is most definitely the most makeup. 

Best Production Design
Will Win - Wicked
Could Win - Conclave or Dune: Part II
Should Win - Wicked
Commentary - This is another one where Wicked has dominated the precursors for this category, including ADG, Set Decorators Society, and BAFTA. But Conclave has also done well at some of these guilds, and if it is a BP contender, could pull another surprise along the way. Also, with the more common connection between Visual Effects and Production Design, Dune Part II could surprise (or does Wicked surprise in Visual Effects? Something to ponder). 

The Oscar Narrative: Final Winner Predictions - Best Original Score, Original Song, Sound, Visual Effects, and Shorts

Best Original Score
Will Win - The Brutalist
Could Win - Conclave
Should Win - The Brutalist (Actually it should be Challengers)
Commentary - The Brutalist has the most expansive score of the bunch, and it did win the BAFTA, the only major precursor to cross over to the Academy voting block. But watch out for Conclave, whose score is also memorable. Oh and shoutout to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who should be winning for Challengers. 

Best Original Song
Will Win - Emilia Perez - El Mal
Could Win - Elton John: Never Too Late - Never Too Late or The Six Triple Eight - The Journey
Should Win - The Six Triple Eight - The Journey or Sing Sing - Like a Bird
Commentary - Is Emilia Perez still in the mix? I believe it still walks away with a few Oscars, despite the controversy, and El Mal has been in the lead for awhile. But, if the controversy has hit home, is this the year that Diane Warren finally wins? Maybe not, and it could be Elton John and Brandi Carlile. But I would love to see it finally happen, that or the song from Sing Sing, which was a nice surprise nominee.

Best Sound
Will Win - Dune Part II
Could Win - A Complete Unknown or Wicked
Should Win - Dune Part II or Wicked
Commentary - An interesting three-way race is brewing here. A lot of anonymous voters (yes we take with a grain of salt) are saying A Complete Unknown, which did win the CAS Award. But BAFTA has been a bigger indicator in this category, and often the most sound wins, which doesn't help the more subtle A Complete Unknown (although last years The Zone of Interest proved that theory is not always right). I also think this keeps Wicked in the mix, as voters have often rewarded musicals in this category, and the sound work is great. In a tight race, I am sticking with Dune's immersive sound quality. 

Best Visual Effects
Will Win - Dune: Part II
Could Win - Wicked or Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Should Win - Dune Part II
Commentary - The visual spectacle that is Dune should join its predecessor as a winner here, and voters do particularly like Best Picture nominees in this category when they can. Also watch out for Wicked and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which did well at the VES Awards.

Wander to Wonder

Best Documentary Short

Best Live Action Short
