It's too early but I have a feeling that Best Actress Oscar is Olivia Colman's to lose. This might be her year, especially if THE CROWN Season 3 premieres in January/February. I'd be totally OK if this happens but let's see what the other festivals and movies will bring. I think she'll go supporting, and if she does, she's close to a lock to win it.I have a feeling Emma will probably be pushed for best actress as she's the bigger star.Sounds like Nicole Kidman may be a real contender for Destroyer too.
It would be interesting if the two Elizabeths - Claire and Olivia - are pitted against each one in the Supporting Actress category.

ROMA reviews are over the moon. Is Netflix winning an Oscar? They may well be.It's hard to imagine another film getting a reception this rapturous.It also looks like Netflix will be giving it a theatrical release. |

Surprised by Audiard as best director. I did not think it would be the kind of film that stands out for the direction

I would have expected that spot for Alfonso Cuarón. He got the Golden Lion for a film he directed, wrote, produced and also his credits expand to cinematography and edition too… how come he didn’t get the director too. |
