[THE MAIN EVENT]
UpRising: Who will be the big winner on Sunday?
Destiny Jackson (Awards Writer, Deadline): In terms of a singular movie winning across multiple categories? I believe Anora and Wicked will be the most recognized. Anora in above-the-line categories: Best Picture, Actress, and Director. Wicked will perhaps be popular in the below-the-line tech categories, hair & makeup, costuming, and production. The only thing giving Wicked a run for its money is Nosferatu.
Jourdain Searles (Film Critic and Comedian): My guess is either Anora or Conclave, since they’re less controversial than Emilia Pérez or The Brutalist. No clue where A Complete Unknown comes in—that may be the wild card.
Smriti Mundhra (Director; I Am Ready, Warden): Whoever gets to dress Colman Domingo.
