Most years I have seen at least the Best Picture nominees, and thanks to being able to watch almost everything at home (I braved a theater to see Licorice Pizza) and not being in the middle of a long distance move, that is true again this year. My primary source was GoldDerby (mostly the “experts” predictions). The ones that seem to have the least consensus are original screenplay, song, and editing. Best Picture also had a last minute swing from The Power of the Dog to CODA.

Happy to have done so well, in what was apparently a very predictable competition. I only missed animated short.
