AFI usually predicts more than half of the Best Picture nominees, which one will land for Best Picture?

Re: Awards Season 2021
I saw both Titane and The Worst Person in the World this weekend
While I don't think Titane is as good as Julie Ducournau's debut Raw, it is still one of the craziest and original movies released this year. It’s genuinely transgressive in its themes and imagery, but also in the end an oddly wholesome story about family and parenthood. I am not one hundred convinced by the device but it is undoubtedly unique and often funny too.
The Worst Person in the World is breathtaking and I can't wait to watch the rest of Joachim Triers' films.

Re: Awards Season 2021
I'll post my predictions too; I've been following this year's race more than I had been since 2015.
Best Picture: Drive My Car
I'm not entirely confident that the Academy will give the Best Picture award to a film that's exclusively on a streaming service like CODA and TPOTD are. But I don't see the non-streaming favorites (Belfast and West Side Story) winning either. Maybe Drive My Car will sneak in and get Best Picture.
EDIT: Screw it, I'll go out on a limb and say that Drive My Car will win even though it's highly unlikely. If it wins then I get braging rights for calling it.
Best Director: Ryusuke Hamaguchi
I really think (and as the "Brutally Honset Oscar Ballots" are showing) that Jane Campion shot herself in the foot with her Critics Choice speech. Maybe Spielberg or Branagh will win, but I'll go with Hamaguchi.
Best Actor: Will Smith
Best Actress: Penelope Cruz
Best Supporting Actor: Troy Kotsur
Best Supporting Actress: Ariana DeBoise
Best Adapted Screenplay: Drive My Car
Best Original Screenplay: Licorice Pizza
Best Cinematography: Dune
Best Costume Design: Cruella

Best Makeup: Cruella
Best Production Design: Dune
Best Score: Dune
Best Song: Encanto

Re: Awards Season 2021
My predictions are almost exactly the same as letmeintomyzone's, with the exception of Adapted Screenplay: I have "The Power of the Dog" winning and "CODA" as runner-up.
This year is very boring...

Re: Awards Season 2021
The real winner of Oscar night was obviously The Flash entering the Speed Force. Have you ever cheered louder at a film?
