I missed this, calling Demi (as did 26 out of 38 experts).

​

Only 8 predicted Mikey Madison. I'm actually surprised it was that few - I thought this was a nailbiter.

​

In retrospect, I should have known - in close lead acting categories, the stronger film wins and the personal narrative doesn't matter as much, generally speaking. How could Anora, an acting/character-centric film, win Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, & Editing, and NOT win a single acting award? Should've seen it...

​

I'm sad for Demi. But also happy for Mikey - she was fantastic.

Amy Adams should've been nominated & won for Nightbitch, just saying 😉
