I think The Holdovers wins, but Anatomy of a Fall could take it. Happy for May December getting nominated. I liked Maestro, but the screenplay wasn't that great. I haven't seen Past Lives.

The Holdovers.

Just watched Past Lives, so I have now seen four of the nominees and, if the truth be known, I wouldn't be up set if Past Lives snuck in and won this one.

The Holdovers is the strongest of the bunch.

Just watched Anatomy of a Fall so I have now seen all five nominees. Who I want to win this award seems to change on a daily bases, but now I think Anatomy of a Fall is going to win.

Anatomy of a Fall won Best Original Screenplay.
