Last night Variety‘s Clayton Davis posted a piece titled “The Oscar Race Is Extremely Loud, and Incredibly Too Close to Call.” The subhead claimed that it’s “a three-horse race between CODA, The Power of the Dog and Belfast.”
Is there anyone reading this who concurs? Anyone at all? I sure as hell don’t. CODA just won the WGA’s Best Adapted Screenplay — couple that with the PGA and SAG wins, and Davis surely understands that CODA has the Best Picture Oscar more or less in the bag, and yet he’s trying to sell the idea of a horse race. Odd.
