I'm an unabashed fan of Chloe Zhao's Hamnet. While almost all of the big time Oscar pundits have the race down to a dogfight between Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler's Sinners for the top prize on March 15th (and you can see above that I'm currently predicting OBAA), I still think there might be a path wherein Hamnet emerges with Best Pic on Oscar night.
And, it turns out, I'm not entirely alone. There are others who have dared suggest that it could happen: Cory Woodruff/For the Win/USA Today.
Come along with me...here be reasons:
1) The Preferential Ballot... Where do voters for OBAA, Sinners and Sentimental Value put Hamnet on their ballots? A lot of #2's from those films could boost Hamnet's chances.
2) Buckley will get Hamnet on the Board...She's maybe the biggest lock for any of the 24 awards on Oscar night. And if Hamnet/Zhao/O'Farrell also grab the Best Adapted Screenplay...lookout.
3) BAFTA is coming...I can certainly see Hamnet overperforming on their Home Field. And as has been pointed out in other quarters, the Brits are the largest "foreign" bloc in the Academy. Say Hamnet wins Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Actress, Supporting Actor and Adapted Screenplay on Feb. 22nd...just four days before the final Oscar voting starts...again, lookout.
4) Hamnet's won some serious stuff...Best Film/Drama at the Golden Globes, Toronto's Audience Award and, dare I say it...Hamnet topped MTFB's People's and Pros polls.
