After winning DGA, PGA, SAG and WGA, “Everything Everywhere” feels like an undeniable winner. If you are predicting an “upset,” you must give a very strong case through your predictions (i.e., “All Quiet on the Western Front” is sweeping, or “The Banshees of Inisherin” is picking up two acting, screenplay and score). While some voters are not in the camp for “Everything Everywhere,” if there is an upset brewing, “Top Gun: Maverick” would be the one to do it. Keep an eye on visual effects (and possibly original song) during the ceremony to indicate this is possible.

Will Win: “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (A24) – Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, Jonathan Wang
Could Win: “Top Gun: Maverick” (Paramount Pictures) – Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, David Ellison, Jerry Bruckheimer
Should Win: “Tár” (Focus Features) – Todd Field, Scott Lambert, Alexandra Milchan
Should have been here: “Close” (A24) — Michiel Dhont, Dirk Impens
