What's Going to Win Best Picture? We Rank the Oscar Field

2. "The Brutalist"

Until recently, Brady Corbet's postwar epic might have been the top pick. "The Brutalist" has been an award-winner at Venice and the Golden Globes. It's up for 10 Oscars. It's roundly been hailed as visionary, hugely ambitious cinema – all made, remarkably, with a budget under $10 million. It's also three and a half hours long. Not every Oscar voter, I assure you, is watching it all the way through. That, though, might not be a bad thing for a movie that falls off in the second half.
