So how might those results affect the major Academy Award races?

Here are some updated predictions.

I’m sticking withEverything Everywhere All at Oncefor the win.

They feel like 21st-century winners to me.

Best Actor: Austin Butler, Elvis

Before this weekend, I hadAustin Butlerranked at No.

2 behindThe Banshees of Inisherin’sColin Farrell.

But let’s remember that, by and large, BAFTA hasn’t been kind to Black American actors.

(Need I remind anybody that Denzel Washington has never been nominated once?)

I still thinkAngela Bassettwill win the SAG and the Oscar.
