Early 2025 Oscars picks
Right now, I like Blitz for Picture and Actress. Saoirse Ronan has such an impressive CV behind her. She’s not overdue, but her work is continuously stellar, she makes great choices, and, like always, you never bet against the Holocaust.
Several other old master contenders should be thereabouts on Oscars Sunday.
