There probably won’t be many surprises when the winners are announced on Sunday. Odds makers in Las Vegas and Hollywood insiders believe there are clear winners in most of the 22 categories. The best example is OPPENHEIMER which is expected to win the Best Picture Oscar in a landslide. But the Best Actress category is a toss up between Lily Gladstone in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (Apple TV +) and Emma Stone in POOR THINGS (Hulu). The Best Actor contest is also down to two people: Cillian Murphy in OPPENHEIMER (Peacock) and Paul Giamatti in THE HOLDOVERS ($5.99 on all major platforms.) P.S. Emma Stone and Cillian Murphy took the top acting prizes.
