Of the others, I want to see Nickel Boys but ran out of time. Dune, The Brutalist & I’m Still Here look like not my thing … but I also thought that about Conclave, which I loved, so what do I know?

Rooting for Moore, Chalamet, Saldana & Norton in the acting categories, for silly fangirl reasons.

Cool, thank you!
