The snapshot below is from an L.A. times piece published this morning. Hundreds of Oscar voters were polled by the paper, asked what film they would vote for in the Best Picture and, unsurprisingly, the bottom line is that there is no frontrunner. Here’s an amusing quote from a voter who has seen “Top Gun: Maverick” a whopping thirteen times (and probably shouldn’t be an Oscar voter):…watched Top gun 13 times and didn’t bother with other contendersMadness. This doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t win, but many people are starting to wonder…Don’t tell me it’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” That film’s hardcore fanbase keeps pushing the idea that it’ll win Best Picture, but I just can’t see it happening. The Academy rarely recognizes sci-fi and the film is polarizing enough to turn off older voters.
