I think Daniel Kaluuya is a real strong contender for supporting actor this year and maybe even end up pulling out the win. In his film ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’, he will be playing Fred Hampton who was the leader of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, and deputy chairman of the national BPP. Based on the synopsis though, I think Lakeith Stanfield will be the lead because the film will take a look at the rise and demise of Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) through the eyes of William O’neal (Lakeith Stanfield). This film will be directed by Shaka King and produced by Ryan Coogler. Keep this on your radars people!
My short answer is I don’t think so.

Mulan is going to Disney Plus but won’t be free
30 dollars on Disney Plus in the US, theatrical release elsewhere.

If Dune makes its release date, I don’t think it’s winning editing. I haven’t yet predicted it as my number 1 in that category, currently I don’t even have it getting a nomination. My editing predictions are:
1. The Trial of the Chicago 7
2. Mank
3. Tenet
4. News of the World
5. Da 5 Bloods
6. Dune
7. Nomadland
8. The French Dispatch
9. No Time to Die
10. West Side StoryMulan is going to Disney Plus but won’t be free 30 dollars on Disney Plus in the US, theatrical release elsewhere.
This is very interesting. I guess Disney doesn’t expect this film to do very well at the North American box office, and they’re hoping to recoup the costs of the film with a great international box office haul and strong Disney Plus VOD sales. I think they’re probably right, to be honest. There’s not much of a market for a film about China in America right now, thanks to everything that’s happened recently. Not to mention the fact that people are sick of Disney remakes, and of course the pandemic is scaring everyone away from theaters.

Best Screenplay: Judas and the Black MessiahAs a side note, I think Disney will do the same with The New Mutants. I find it really hard to believe that film will make it’s release date considering every other major August release has been delayed or put on VOD. Maybe they’ll actually make money if The New Mutants is $30 on Disney Plus VOD. Or they’ll just pull an Artemis Fowl instead.
