Being a streaming film should no longer be considered a barrier to winning Best Picture.

Anonymous ballots should never inform your predictions. There were so many people who were switching to Cruz at the last minute despite this clearly being Chastain’s year after her SAG and CC wins.

Stats are not everything and passion can overcome even the strongest and most enduring ones.

I think Will Smith will be an exception to the BAFTA matching Oscar stat in the lead actor category this year. He will very likely win SAG and will be in a best picture nominee so should be fine at the Oscars. But here, Cumberbatch could get his big win of the season.

It will be ironic that Denzel’s likely first BAFTA nom will come from him being picked by the jury. I don’t think there’s a chance that he finished top 2.

Jessie Buckley is so getting in and having just watched The Lost Daughter, I can say that it will be very well deserved. She’s superb and would be my winner.

LMAO at these actors that have a good shot with the jury with 100/1 odds… are most “experts” and users still unaware of the jury system

Exactly. Due to the juries picking all but 2 nominees, people like Tessa Thompson, Stephen Graham, Renate Reinsve and Vinnette Robinson are almost certainly getting nominated.

Just watched this film and I was blown away by it. Colman and Buckley give the best performances of the year in their respective categories for me. Their work here is profoundly layered and they knocked these complex roles out of the park. Maggie Gyllenhaal has produced an incredibly auspicious debut with The Lost Daughter.

I have a question about Bafta: I know that the final nominations aren’t out, but who would you say has a stronger shot at getting in and winning, Nicole or Olivia? Maybe I’ll be wrong, but I’ve been thinking Joanna Scanlan might win this year.

Colman is a lock for a nomination and will be favourite to win. Kidman could miss.

It feels risky predicting Don’t Look Up to go empty-handed but McKay’s other films didn’t perform particularly well at the Globes in terms of wins either. Just the one win for Christian Bale for Vice in a very weak category.

Jared Leto could feasibly become the next actor to be nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie for the same performance.

Maybe The Rock and Tiffany Haddish as a duo could work.
