These are difficult every year, but I’m thinking It Must Be Heaven for the Palme, Portrait of a Lady on Fire for Grand Prix, Parasite for Jury Prize, a tie
in Director for Atlantique and Bacurau, Banderas for Actor and Valerie Pachner for Actress, and Sibyl for Screenplay. However, the consensus is saying that the Palme is either Almodovar or Sciamma, and that Efira (actress from Sibyl) takes the acting Prize. If Almodovar is our Palme winner, actor goes to Parasite or The Traitor. Dolan and Porumboiu can also win Screenplay. In 2011, Tarantino put Kelly Reichardt’s Meek’s Cutoof in a Worst of the Year list. She’s now on the jury. I have a feeling that could hut OUATIH’s chances, though a shared acting prize for Leo and Brad would be pretty cool (Waltz won there for Inglorious Basterds).

Adam Levine will not be back next season. Gwen Stefani is taking his place.

pain & glory still looks like the safest bet for palme o’dor to me, although parasite is also looking very promising

Portrait of a Lady on Fire has just as good a chance as those two

This was an unbearable episode to sit through but ended with a masterclass from Maelyn on how to honor Leonard Cohen’s writing

The finale is a disgrace. Honestly, this awful season almost doesn’t deserve to be redeemed by a Maelyn win.

No favorite of mine has ever won this show, so Maelyn is in danger. But she’s so obviously the better contestant this season that somehow I still hope America can see the obvious

Loved the premiere. Amazing how many comparisons can be drawn between the 2020 field and this season, even though it was written awhile back.

Bohemian Rhapsody winning for its ridiculous Editing AND its editor being literally the most important partner of Bryan Singer in his career has to be the obvious answer here.

It’s confidential. This kind of thing is only to learn what the members are going to vote and why’s. Where lucky that these voters are eager to share.

These articles are all inspired by the ones Entertainment Weekly used to publish. EW always posted clues about who the person was. Saying that a voter is a “male writer from LA/the UK/Australia” is vague enough, yet at least gives us a minimum idea of what kind of voter we’re talking about

Goldderby should at least tell us if their “anonymous voters” are all based in LA, or just LA and NYC. If yes, then that’s a very specific mindset. Why aren’t Goldderby and other sites seeking out members from other countries who have already had an impact as seen in the nominations?

I am curious to know if the whole academy membership gets to vote in the short subjects categories or it voted on by committee? Seems to me one would have to see all the nominees to make a worthwhile vote.

Most Academy members do not vote in all categories
