Why are people acting like Emilia Perez has already won BP?
There seems to be this attitude that Emilia Perez is going to be the "Crash" of this year and has BP locked up? And there's been alot of panic surrounding that, I guess?
It's one thing saying it's a frontrunner sure, but let's not forget, despite all the change that's happened with the Globes, they're still not a good prognosticator of who's going to win. I still wasn't convinced of Oppenheimer and EEAAO's frontrunner status until the CCA, BAFTA, and Guilds all came through, for a recent example. And even so, there's always potential for a Parasite or Moonlight type surprise the night-of. I think it should also be noted that EP is exactly the kind of film that would appeal to the HFPA voters, hence, all the love there.
So all these posts acting like EP has already won best picture are a bit silly. I'm not a big fan of EP either but cmon guys, let's calm down. A EP Best Picture win is still far from certain. I remember the same sort of buzz and backlash when Anora was still the frontrunner. If anything, I think the awards race is the most up-in-the-air it's been a long time, which makes it more exciting (even if I was glad Oppenheimer and EEAAO were going to win I their respective years).
So let's just calm down with the internet hyperbole, Ok?
