You know, for me, everything else, there was some reason not to pick it, whether it was, you know, controversy or, you know, for me, the Nora thing of sex workers who sort of turn out to just want to be hugged to me is not that interesting and actually is a pretty familiar trope from film. This is what I picked. I picked Nickel Boys.

Well, I mean, some of it is just forecasting based on, you know, awards already won and sort of critical reaction already received.

She was originally kind of pigeonholed as a like a pop movie actress, as she put it, a popcorn actress. And I think she's been really good in a number of different things for a long time, but not the kinds of things that necessarily got her awards recognition.

You know, first of all, people tend to think it's very brave when you go through some sort of body transformation and do something that looks ugly and gross, especially if you are a woman who came up as a kind of conventionally beautiful woman. Yeah. So that tends to weigh in her favor. I also think she's just one of those people who's worked with a gazillion people over the course of her career.

Yeah. And sometimes that really helps just to have been around forever, acting with a ton of people, working in a ton of projects. I think that's going to do it. I think she will win.
