Producers Guild\u2019s, which is decided on a preferential ballot, and also won Critics Choice and Spirit Award prizes, among many others. But the Academy\u2019s preferential ballot wouldn\u2019t seem to favor such a polarizing film \u2014\u00a0many Academy members love it, but many others found it incomprehensible \u2014\u00a0so an upset could come from German-language <em>All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em>, which dominated at the BAFTA Awards (indicating strong European support) and would be Netflix\u2019s first-ever winner in this category, or Paramount\u2019s <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>, a critical and commercial triumph that helped to revive theatrical moviegoing. <em>\u2014 Scott Feinberg<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN: <em>The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    My heart beats strongest for this two-man civil war tragicomedy, which shows a new maturity and depth of feeling from Martin McDonagh. It assembles a peerless ensemble, each of them etching finely drawn character portraits, not to mention scene-stealer Jenny, the miniature donkey. Todd Field\u2019s caustic reflection on abuse of power, <em>T\u00e1r<\/em>, would be another deserving winner. <em>\u2014 David Rooney<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Director\"><\/span>Best Director<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>WILL WIN: Daniels, <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    There are certainly constituencies for Todd Field (<em>T\u00e1r<\/em>), Martin McDonagh (<em>The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em>) and Golden Globe winner Steven Spielberg (<em>The Fabelmans<\/em>), who last won in this category 24 years ago. But <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>\u2018s Daniels (Kwan and Scheinert) won the Directors Guild\u2019s top prize, which has predicted this Oscar all but eight times in the past 74 years. \u00a0<em>\u2014 SF<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN: Todd Field, <em>T\u00e1r<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s tough to narrow down: Field\u2019s forensic craftsmanship, taking risks at every turn with a magnificently brittle protagonist whose outrageous hubris draws us in rather than distances us? McDonagh\u2019s unerring grasp of tone and virtuoso command of language? Or Daniels\u2019 wizardry with a narrative that continually multiplies? Field is the field leader, by a whisker. <em>\u2014 DR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Actor\"><\/span>Best Actor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>WILL WIN: Austin Butler, <em>Elvis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The four plausible winners: three much-loved vets \u2014 <em>Living<\/em>\u2019s Bill Nighy, the senior nominee at 73; <em>Banshees<\/em>\u2019 Colin Farrell, a Golden Globe winner; and <em>The Whale<\/em>\u2019s Brendan Fraser, who won Critics Choice and SAG awards \u2014\u00a0plus <em>Elvis<\/em>\u2019s breakout Austin Butler, a Globe and BAFTA winner. Farrell and Butler hail from best pic nominees; it\u2019s been 13 years since this category\u2019s winner didn\u2019t. Edge to the showier part. <em>\u2014 SF<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN: Colin Farrell, <em>The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Farrell is my pick for his soulful farmer whose life is upended when his best friend severs their bond. But how nice to see <em>Aftersun\u2019<\/em>s Paul Mescal noticed for the kind of subtlety the Academy overlooks. Likewise, the career-crowning work of Nighy, Fraser digging deep in an otherwise divisive film, and Butler as a pop culture giant. <em>\u2014 DR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Actress\"><\/span>Best Actress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>WILL WIN: Cate Blanchett, <em>T\u00e1r<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to be between two admired thespians who gave career-best turns in best pic nominees: <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em>\u2019s Michelle Yeoh, the SAG and Spirit winner, and <em>T\u00e1r<\/em>\u2019s Cate Blanchett, the Critics Choice and BAFTA winner. Though Blanchett has two prior wins and Yeoh has none, and though Yeoh\u2019s win would be historic (she\u2019d be the category\u2019s first Asian-identifying winner), my sense is that things are breaking for the former. <em>\u2014 SF<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN: Cate Blanchett,<em> T\u00e1r<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s getting almost stale to see Blanchett chalk up another honor, but her scalding intensity as Lydia T\u00e1r represents a new career high. No other performance this year came close. That said, who wouldn\u2019t be thrilled to see Michelle Yeoh grab the gold? As for miracle nominee Andrea Riseborough, she brings nuance to a bundle of clich\u00e9s, but that doesn\u2019t make the movie less pedestrian. <em>\u2014 DR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Supporting_Actor\"><\/span>Best Supporting Actor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>WILL WIN: Ke Huy Quan, <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The biggest slam-dunk of the night \u2014\u00a0given his hilarious and moving performance, remarkable comeback story and undeniable charm \u2014 is <em>Everything<\/em>\u2019s Ke Huy Quan, who\u2019s already won SAG, Critics Choice and Globe awards. Quan\u2019s one loss came at BAFTA to <em>Banshees<\/em>\u2019 Barry Keoghan, who\u2019s again nominated here alongside his co-star Brendan Gleeson, <em>Fabelmans<\/em> vet Judd Hirsch and <em>Causeway<\/em>\u2019s Brian Tyree Henry. <em>\u2014 SF<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN: Ke Huy Quan, <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s impossible not to root for Quan; the actor\u2019s path from child star through decades out of the spotlight to this triumphant return is a narrative too good to ignore.

Voters have tended to use this category to reward highly unusual scripts, like <em>Her<\/em>, <em>Birdman<\/em> and <em>Get Out<\/em>, which bodes well for <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em>. Also: it\u2019s been five years since a best pic winner didn\u2019t also win a screenplay award, so if one predicts that <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em> will be winning that award, it\u2019s hard not to predict this one for it too. <em>\u2014 SF<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>SHOULD WIN:<\/strong> <strong><em>The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    McDonagh seems destined at every festival and awards ceremony to take screenplay but miss out on the bigger honors \u2014 the filmmaker\u2019s equivalent of \u201calways the bridesmaid \u2026\u201d The glorious musicality of his dialogue and the graceful tonal shifts put it out front for me, but there\u2019s also much to be said for the audacious swerves Field takes in <em>T\u00e1r<\/em>. <em>\u2014 DR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Documentary_Feature\"><\/span>Best Documentary Feature <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>WILL WIN: <em>Navalny<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Meditative <em>All That Breathes<\/em> is the doc community\u2019s pick. <em>Citizenfour<\/em> winner Laura Poitras\u2019 <em>All the Beauty and the Bloodshed<\/em> won best film at Venice. <em>A House Made of Splinters<\/em> centers on Ukrainian war orphans.

But <em>Marcel<\/em> is the most captivating original of the bunch, its seemingly absurd world-building given surprising weight by its disarming heart and humor. <em>\u2014 DR<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_Feinberg_Forecasts_the_Rest_%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>And Feinberg Forecasts the Rest \u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Cinematography: <\/strong><em>All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This one looks like a nail-biter between <em>All Quiet<\/em>, which won BAFTA and Society of Camera Operators awards, and <em>Elvis<\/em>, which won the American Society of Cinematographers\u2019 top honor, which has predicted this Oscar in seven of the last 10 years (and for which <em>All Quiet<\/em> was eligible but not nominated \u2014 it\u2019s a clubby, Hollywood-centric group). A win for <em>Elvis<\/em>, which was lensed by Mandy Walker, would mark the first time that a woman has ever won in this category, but given that only the film\u2019s title appears on the ballot, that probably will not factor into most voters\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Costume Design: <\/strong><em>Black Panther: Wakanda\u202fForever<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Elvis<\/em> nominee Catherine Martin has twice won this award for prior collaborations with her husband, Baz Luhrmann, and might well win again. But many voters have told me that they were more impressed by the costumes in <em>Wakanda Forever<\/em> \u2014 which were designed by Ruth E. Carter, who won for the first <em>Black Panther<\/em>, becoming this category\u2019s first Black winner \u2014\u00a0given that there was no blueprint for how they should look. So despite the fact that <em>Elvis<\/em> is also up for best pic, whereas <em>Wakanda<\/em> is not, and that <em>Wakanda<\/em> lost the Costume Designers Guild\u2019s prize for best costumes in a sci-fi\/fantasy film to <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>, I\u2019m taking a flyer here on <em>Wakanda<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Film Editing:<\/strong> <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The American Cinema Editors organization chose <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> as its best edited drama and <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em> as its best edited comedy. They previously went head-to-head for Critics Choice and BAFTA awards, and <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em> won both, though things could go either way at the Oscars. Indeed, Academy members often reward the nominee with the <em>most<\/em> editing, which is probably <em>Maverick<\/em>, with its aerial action sequences cut by veteran Eddie Hamilton. But there seems to be widespread appreciation this year that <em>Everything Everywhere<\/em> might have been incomprehensible without the deft cutting of up-and-comer Paul Rogers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Makeup and Hairstyling:<\/strong> <em>The Whale<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This award frequently goes to a film for which at least one lead acting nominee underwent a massive physical transformation (see each of the last five winners \u2014\u00a0<em>The Eyes of Tammy Faye<\/em>, <em>Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom<\/em>, <em>Bombshell<\/em>, <em>Vice<\/em> and <em>Darkest Hour<\/em> \u2014 as well as other recent winners including <em>Dallas Buyers Club<\/em>, <em>Les Miserables<\/em> and <em>The Iron Lady<\/em>). That suggests that this year\u2019s race is between <em>Elvis<\/em> and <em>The Whale<\/em>. <em>Elvis<\/em> is the more popular film, but <em>The Whale<\/em> features the more marked transformation, so I\u2019m going with the latter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Original Score:<\/strong> <em>All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Justin Hurwitz\u2019s score for <em>Babylon<\/em> is featured heavily throughout that film and was already recognized with a Golden Globe, but only once in the last 19 years has this Oscar gone to a film without a best picture nomination, which leads me to believe that <em>All Quiet<\/em> (scored by Volker Bertelmann), which beat <em>Babylon<\/em> to win the best music BAFTA Award, is the likelier winner (that BAFTA honor has predicted this Oscar in eight of the last 10 years, including each of the last three). The sleeper possibility: John Williams\u2019 score for <em>The Fabelmans<\/em> \u2014 it\u2019s been 29 years since the legend last won an Oscar, and with increasing talk that he may soon retire, the 91-year-old might be the sentimental choice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Original Song:<\/strong> \u201cHold My Hand,\u201d <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cNaatu Naatu,\u201d the showstopping centerpiece of the Indian film <em>RRR<\/em>, appeared to be the early frontrunner, picking up from journalist organizations Critics Choice and Golden Globe awards. But the fact that it received no other Oscar noms makes me wonder if enough Academy members saw it for it to prevail over the two nominees featured in best picture nominees: Lady Gaga\u2019s \u201cHold My Hand\u201d from <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> or David Byrne and Son Lux\u2019s \u201cThis Is a Life\u201d from <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>. (Songs from best picture nominees don\u2019t always win, but when they lose it\u2019s usually to a tune from a Bond or animated movie, neither of which are represented in the category this year.) The former is certainly more memorable than the latter, and the original <em>Top Gun<\/em> won in this category (for \u201cTake My Breath Away\u201d), so it strikes me as an undervalued contender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Production Design:<\/strong> <em>Elvis<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Babylon<\/em> was recognized in this category with BAFTA, Critics Choice and Art Directors Guild awards, beating out <em>Elvis<\/em> for all three. But again, Babylon really failed to click with the Academy, whereas <em>Elvis<\/em> clearly did, and <em>Elvis<\/em>\u2018 production designer Catherine Martin has twice won this award before for other flashy Baz Luhrmann films, so I\u2019m going with <em>Elvis<\/em>. If, instead, <em>All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em> wins, that, to me, would be an early sign of massive support for that film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Sound:<\/strong> <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    This one looks very tight. <em>All Quiet<\/em>, <em>Elvis<\/em> and <em>Maverick<\/em> each won one of the major prizes from the Motion Picture Sound Editors. <em>All Quiet<\/em> won the BAFTA. And <em>Maverick<\/em> won the top prize from the Cinema Audio Society. Music-centric films have certainly taken home sound Oscars, but war movies have prevailed even more frequently, which leads me to suspect that <em>All Quiet<\/em> and <em>Maverick<\/em> are out front. Put me down for <em>Maverick<\/em>, on a hunch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Visual Effects:<\/strong> <em>Avatar:\u00a0The Way of Water<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Thirteen years after winning this award for the first <em>Avatar<\/em>, Joe Letteri (who already has four competitive Oscars to his name) and his team from Weta look all but certain to repeat for its sequel, which is a VFX tour de force. They already won the corresponding BAFTA and Critics Choice awards and swept the Visual Effects Society awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Animated Short:<\/strong> <em>The Boy, the Mole,\u00a0the Fox and the Horse<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>My Year of Dicks<\/em> is certainly the nominee with the most provocative title, but the film is episodic and its animation unextraordinary. <em>An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It<\/em>, meanwhile, employs impressive stop-motion animation that evokes memories of the <em>Wallace and Gromit<\/em> shorts for which Nick Park won this award twice, and peels back the curtain on the way it was made, too. But the likeliest winner, despite being rather trite and bland, is <em>The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse<\/em> \u2014 partly because it shares a name with the 2019 best-selling novel that inspired it, partly because it features the voices of and was produced by A-listers, and partly because Apple has spent a fortune promoting it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Documentary Short:<\/strong> <em>Stranger at the Gate<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Three of the nominees tug at the heartstrings \u2014 <em>The Elephant Whisperers<\/em>, about people who care for elephants; <em>How Do You Measure a Year?<\/em>, a variation on <em>Boyhood<\/em>; and <em>Stranger at the Gate<\/em>, which recounts the truly mindblowing story\u00a0of an Islamaphobe who ends up converting to Islam \u2014 whereas the other two, <em>Haulout<\/em> and <em>The Martha Mitchell Effect<\/em>, are fairly cold. <em>Elephant Whisperers<\/em> is the most cinematic and undoubtedly benefits from its association with Netflix. But <em>Stranger at the Gate<\/em> tells the most memorable story, and has had the advantage of a high-profile executive producer, Malala Yousafzai, beating the drum for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Live-Action Short:<\/strong> <em>An Irish Goodbye<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Le Pupille<\/em> premiered at Cannes and has big names behind it (director Alice Rohrwacher and producer Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n). <em>The Red Suitcase<\/em> tells a powerful story. <em>Night Ride<\/em> centers on marginalized people. And <em>Ivalu<\/em> is deeply affecting. But I suspect that <em>An Irish Goodbye<\/em>, though slight, will benefit from being the sole nominee that is in the English language and is not dark and heavy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>A version of this story first appeared in the March 8 issue of <\/em>The Hollywood Reporter<em> magazine. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.hollywoodreporter.com\/sub\/?p=THR&amp;f=saleb_2&amp;s=IH2205THRS\">Click here to subscribe<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
