Obviously Chloe Zhao‘s Hamnet has been getting gangbuster reviews after debuting at the Telluride Film Festival. Critics are doing cartwheels and backflips, but can they be trusted? What about those research screening tipsters who had problems with it? Either way Hamnet is an apparent lock for a Best Picture and Best Director nom. I noted a few days ago that Jessie Buckley is overwhelmingly assured of a Best Actress nomination.
