Nobody's favorite turns to be the best picture winner? It's tough to say this early, but I'll try I guess. Like Rocketman could be the next Bohemian Rhapsody, I guess, but I don't see it winning Best Picture. I don't have a lot of faith in Cats, but I expect that if it did actually win, there would be a lot of unhappy people. I think that if 1917 won, it might be in a similar position although not as hated, just because in a year where Scorsese could win Best Picture again or Tarantino could win his first, having Sam Mendes get it a second time might cause some backlash in certain circles. Probably Joker. I don't think it will win, but I could see the possible outcries of Todd Phillips being nominated for DGA and maybe Best Director like Peter Farrelly this past year. Plus, if it actually won over The Irishman, I would guess that there would be a lot of film fans up in arms over that. Also Little Women. I know there's a lot of fans of Ronan and Gerwig, but if it's just a competently made remake but not much better than the other versions, I think there would be backlash. I don't think it will win though, but if it did.

Jojo Rabbit.I can see lots of people loving this film but I also think it could be controversial if Taika doesn't get the tone exactly right.A goofy take on Hitler is going to be interesting to say the least.

Just Mercy, from the director of Short Term 12 and Glass Castles, starring Michael B. Jordan, Brie Larson and Jamie Foxx, a civil rights/death row drama, which I think has the potential to be another bland Green Book-esque drama, but from a minority's pov, so it might register with the Green Book crowd. Unless the movie actually got teeth and ends up being good, then it will probably be more divisive among voters

Jojo could be the winner. I don't see Marty or QT winning BP. Little Women, I give it no chance.
