Big get for Blue Jean. Besides British Film, I’m gonna predict it for Casting and Actress too. Seems like the type of performance a jury would drool over.
Supporting Actress here is going to be so messy to predict. Do Foy and Buckley make it in with the membership vote? If not will the jury care enough about their performances to “save them”? Do some of the more “mainstream” contenders like Mulligan and Monae make it in with the membership? Will the jury single out Chau, Hoss and Wood or will they suffer the fate we’ve seen performers in similar acting plays experience recently and miss out whilst their leads get in? Do either of the women from The Woman King make it in and if so who? Does Dolly De Leon stand out if she makes the long-list or will a potential lack of passion behind Triangle of Sadness hurt her like with Kathryn Hunter last year? Hsu and Curtis?
I think Kerry Condon is the only person who can be called a lock here seeing as The Banshees of Inisherin is the biggest British film of the season so she could make it in as one of the membership picks but even if she doesn’t the performance is quirky enough and acclaimed enough (and Condon herself unknown enough) to make it in as a jury pick.

They love Robbie here. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s top 3.

Everything Everywhere All at Once?
Can’t work out how it lands across all voters. UK reaction felt a lot calmer than the American reaction too earlier in the year.

It did but at the same time wouldn’t you say that the reaction to King Richard (which didn’t even have a $1 million opening weekend in the UK) was much calmer on this side of the Atlantic than it was in the US? Or the reaction to Being the Ricardos? Both got screenplay nominations and did fairly well on the long-lists.
I’m obviously not saying it’s a wrong prediction by any means (there are most definitely going to be shocking omissions on the long-list with only 10 slots in best film) but I think the more likely miss for Everything Everywhere All at Once on the long-list is in director as opposed to best film as when a film like it tends to show up in the former it almost definitely shows up in the latter and it will have more competition there than it will in best film. A film like Empire of Light feels a lot like it would need to show up on the best director long-list to make it into the best film seeing it is an also ran in the Oscar race like Ammonite and Last Night in Soho (both of which were long-listed heavily but didn’t get into the long-lists for either best film or director) were.
Also correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the acting long-lists still 15 slots? I thought it was only best film and the craft categories that were downsizing.

They love Robbie here. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s top 3.
Before the jury mess and that’s if Babylon even lands that much here, depending on its reception. I can easily see her being left out
I agree with both sides of the argument here. I don’t think Robbie’s previous track record is completely irrelevant because most of the nominations she got here without attaining corresponding Oscar nods were as a result of her being the consensus choice for that slot in her field (and consensus is something that really helps you under this system). J-Lo and Shuzhen were never getting nominated under the old system and Richard Jewell simply couldn’t be seen on time for Kathy Bates to get nominated. So BAFTA’s choices were either Annette Bening in a small political thriller or throwing a second nomination to Margot Robbie in a film they were already throwing lots of nominations towards. Ditto the previous year when she was nominated for Bombshell. The Roma actors were never getting nominated under the old system so the only real choices for voters were Robbie playing Elizabeth I in a SAG nominated performance or Emily Blunt in a SAG nominated horror movie performance (which was also a similar choice they had to make in Lead Actress that year with Blunt in a SAG nominated performance as Mary Poppins and Davis in a Steve McQueen movie that was quite well received by the British film critics).
If the top 3 ends up being wide open again this year AND Babylon has a decent showing on the long-list I can definitely see her pulling off something similar even though the voting systems have changed slightly since she last competed. However if Babylon just ends up being another Nightmare Alley I think she’ll probably just get left out (especially seeing as that by being an awards late-breaker and a January release in the UK it risks itself being underseen when it comes to the long-list whilst Everything Everywhere All at Once has been out for most of the year and both Tàr and The Fabelmans will probably have had multiple screenings in advance of their January/February releases for voters due to them already being out and competing for awards).
