I liked The Power of the Dog - it has some very nuanced performances and you're never entirely sure where it's going. Whether it's "Best Picture" material or not, I don't know. Cumberbatch is excellent though. I confess that I didn't get on with MacBeth. It was just too cold for my tastes and not entirely joined up. Kathryn Hunter as the three witches was extraordinary though.
Dune was very much not a streaming film this side of the pond - HBO Max hasn't launched in the UK yet because of HBO's existing output deal with Sky. It won't win, but I loved it. The Lost Daughter is great, but I can't see Colman winning again. She's just good in everything. I've yet to see Belfast which a lot of smart money is on. I can't help noticing Netflix is outspending just about everyone on the FYC ads. I read print copies of The Guardian in the UK, and you'd think it was Daily Variety for the number of FYC ads it contains. Apple is the other massive spender.
