Anatomy of a Fall WLPPTL

Wesley Lovell: ACE divvied up their prizes to drama and comedy separately but comedy The Holdovers isn’t likely to overcome drama winner Oppenheimer, nor is it likely to even be in second place. That is most certainly Anatomy of a Fall.
Pete Patrick: Oppenheimer will likely prevail, but I would love to see Anatomy of a Fall pull an upset here.
Thomas La Tourrette: Oppenheimer has won over two thirds of the precursors, including BAFTA and the guild. There is no way that any other film is winning this award. It also truly deserves it. It takes impressive editing to make a three hour movie fly by, and this held one’s interest the whole way.
