Still think it'll be Nomadland. Preferential ballot will likely favor it, it's got the critical backing and the timely factor, McDormand's a heavy hitter they can reward along with Zhao as producers if they don't want to give her a third Best Actress trophy and acknowledge Fincher in Best Director, and it won't have the backlash something like Mank will get for being another movie about Hollywood/the Netflix stigma.

Right now, really looks like Mank is gonna be jaw-dropping and the one everyone is talking about, lotta tech attention, Hollywood history, etc, and having a Lead contender with it always helps. Nomadland ain't coming close - it's a small size movie like Wendy and Lucy or something, and personally didn't feel there is much in it to surprise or grab people.

Mank seems like it'll be a tech showcase, so Fincher is looking very strong in director... and combined with the strong possibility of a screenplay win, it's hard to imagine it losing in BP...

Still sticking with "Nomadland" for the simple reason that "Mank" doesn't seem to have the zeitgeist element to it which seems to be the defining factor of recent BP winners. Although it looks amazing and will definitely have a lot of support with a huge chance of winning Director.
I also have a weird political theory about all this - if Biden wins, then "Mank" has a better chance of becoming a BP winner because a lot of these zeitgeisty winners seem to be in clear response to Trump. With Trump gone, the stupid 'resistance' attitude in Hollywood will probably calm down and it'll be easier for them to vote for "Mank".
However, if Trump stays in office, the winner will simply have to be zeitgeisty and socially relevant - a description which "Nomadland" seems closer to.

I voted for Nomadland at first, but after a minute switched it to Mank. Jack Fincher wrote this in the 90s and died in '03, that's a touching father-son narrative (like the Bidens). It also makes the film essentially totally non-topical and apolitical, which I think a lot of people will actually find pretty relieving/refreshing nowadays.

Nomadland or Mank I guess.
I'll go with Mank for now.

Black is King has been gaining some massive momentum in the last little while here. Very curious to see its awards trajectory.

I'm voting Nomadland, but I agree with the theory that Biden winning might cool things down and make the Academy vote for something less political. Still too soon to be sure, though.
