I was hoping someone would start this thread. I don’t see an existing one
My hunch is Bill Nighy receives at least a nomination, along with Adapted, cin, and hopefully much more.

Adapted from Kurosawa’s 1952 film “Ikiru,” the story takes place in 1950s Great Britain and follows a veteran civil servant

I have had the privilege of seeing many great films at London Film Festival over the years but there has scarcely been a film in which I’ve felt like I was, well living (pun absolutely intended). Does that make Living the best movie I’ve ever seen at the London Film Festival or even my favourite? No. Both The Banshees of Inisherin and Women Talking from this year alone trump in both regards. But just like with Till I felt glad to be able to experience a movie so existential on the big screen. I honestly encourage anyone who has any interest in seeing this movie to see it on the big screen because I don’t know if the catharsis will still be there if you’re at home without being overwhelmed by the film’s language. Nighy’s never been better and it’s such a shame that this film isn’t a strong enough contender to get both Wood and Burke traction because they just were so full of heart.

FYC: Better Call Saul, The English and The Good Fight in all categories including Emily Blunt, Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.

I saw via Sundance virtual earlier this year. I’m a big fan of it – so much of it is brilliantly accomplished. I certainly feel that it’s a bit quiet right now, but maybe it’s trying to fly under the radar. I think it has potential to break into a broad number of categories, both Above the Line and Below the Line, but it’ll all depend on how hard Sony Classics push for it. And whether or not this emerges as the #1 or #2 pick from the British sector of AMPAS – it would be quite a feat with Banshees, TAR, Empire of Light, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Aftersun in the running…
