I’m predicting six wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once, the most of any Best Picture winner since 2009’s The Hurt Locker, which also won six. We haven’t seen one even win more than four since 2011’s The Artist so it’s certainly on the riskier side to do so.
I have Elvis and All Quiet on the Western Front winning and one apiece for The Banshees of Inisherin, Women Talking and Avatar: The Way of Water. That’s a lot of donuts for Best Picture nominees TÁR, The Fabelmans (which would be the first TIFF People’s Choice winner since 2011 to earn no Oscars), Top Gun: Maverick and Triangle of Sadness considering the Academy has definitely enjoyed spreading the wealth. While The Fabelmans and Triangle of Sadness seem the most likely to suffer an empty-handed night, history favors both TÁR and Top Gun: Maverick in their hotly contested categories. A win for the former in Best Actress and/or the latter in Film Editing and/or Sound are possible and have been widely predicted elsewhere.
A smattering of single wins for non-Best Picture nominees like Babylon, RRR and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio are in the mix with Babylon potentially snagging two.
Just three more days and we’ll know all.
