— For months, One Battle After Another has been the clear front-runner for both best picture and best director. But in the past week the race has tightened, with growing speculation that Sinners could mount a serious late challenge. Sinners leads this year’s nominations with a record 16 — the most ever for a single film. Still, Macau Daily Times, with the Associated Press, predicts One Battle After Another will ultimately prevail in both best picture and best director. In the acting categories, MDT/AP expect Buckley to win best actress, Jordan to take best actor, and Taylor to claim supporting actress. The supporting actor race is the only category where the newsroom is split — the award could go to either del Toro or Lindo. By Monday at noon in Macau, we’ll have the final answer.
