Circle prayers for the whole Banshees team, hoping it will do better than LAFCA.

The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.

Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!

Blanchett could end up taking this, but I still think NSFC could surprise with their Actress pick. I wouldn’t be shocked if they went for Danielle Deadwyler actually. Tang Wei also seems very NSFC-friendly to me. I’m expecting her to at least be a runner up.

TÁR is probably showing up in Picture, Director, Actress and Screenplay. With Blanchett probably winning.

"EGOT" and "Triple Crown of Acting" winner: VIOLA DAVIS!!!!

I can see Park Ji-min winning Best Actress here, it’s the kind of thing NSFC could do it, at least as a runner-up she’s possible.

Feeling a surprise win in Best Picture too, don’t know if Tár is going to win all the way like in NYFCC and LAFCA (though, I would love to see it). Aftersun, All The Beauty and the Bloodshed, Saint Omer and EO are dark horses here for some wins too.

Both Todd Field and Martin McDonagh have a terrible track record here, so I would be on the fence predicting TÁR and The Banshees of Inisherin to do well here.

Damn tar is really going for the trifecta for actress and picture. Another possible trifecta win after drive my car last year for tar is wild. Also I have a feeling Paul mescal might win Actor over Colin or at least a runner up

It’s highly possible. Many times they have gone down a different route from NYFCC and LAFCA.
