12 分钟Everything leading up to the Oscars is an audition for the Oscars.
It's now a sort of tipping point.
It's very rare that the best film will win.
But I think this campaign perhaps does show the sort of real genuine risks of gaffes.
And I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or, you know,
things where it's like, hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.
He's so marmite as a person.
Had the opera thing come out a couple of days earlier, it absolutely would have totaled his chances.
With something like Sinners, I think to not give him Best Director would be terrible.
Remember, no black person has ever won Best Director.
The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles is rolling out the red carpet again for this year's Oscars ceremony on Sunday.
So who should win and why?
From the Guardians today in Focus, this is The Latest with me, Lucy Hart.
I'm joined by Catherine Shord, The Guardian's film editor.
It's great to see you, Catherine.
Thanks for coming up.
So we are at the end of what has felt like quite a long...
Oscars campaign trail,
it feels like it's a real face off between two films at this point, doesn't it?
Sinners and one battle after another.
