What do you think is gonna happen in this important category this year?
So far I'm guessing:
- Belfast
- West Side Story
- Dune
- Don't Look Up
- Licorice Pizza
Belfast is probably our frontrunner so it's in. I don't think it's that flashy or anything but it's short, tight and the photoalbum feeling of it will probably help it here.
WSS is, on the other hand, super flashy. Big robust musical sequences, always lively and energetic. Editing is a big part of the musicality of the film too. Michael Kahn is frigging 91. I really hope he gets nominated, along with Sarah Broshar who'll probably take the mantle of the Spielberg Editor in the future.
Dune also feels quite safe - a big blockbuster which is likely Top 5 is a good bet.
I think McKay's and Corwin's antics will once again get in - all of them random cutaways are once again used very actively. I think this is a Jojo Rabbit kinda situation - comedic but partially serious BP nominee that didn't impress the critics but appealed to the industry.
The fifth spot is tougher. I'm going with Pizza for now but I dunno...There's of course The Power of the Dog but I'm getting Roma vibes from it - a slower, 'artier' BP nominee that misses. Maybe King Richard can somehow do it with the sports scenes (I haven't seen it yet so I dunno how intense and frequent those are in the movie)? Or perhaps tick, tick...BOOM! which has a lot of showy editing in it.
What are your predictions?
