A lot is riding on this year's awards. A lot - if not all - of the awards have nominated the controversial film Emilia Perez, which has led me to believe that that film may end up winning Best Picture.
I have expressed after the fact that I do not wish for Emilia Perez to win Best Picture. In fact, I would rather have Dune, Part Two take the prestigious award. At the time of writing my predictions, I felt it was the safest bet just based on Emilia Perez's award history leading up to the OSCARS.
The Critic's Choice Awards have made their claims for the best film, and that film was Sean Baker's Anora.
