“The Banshees of Inisherin”
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” “The Fabelmans”
“Tár”
“Triangle of Sadness”
Voters often think in terms of “most” rather than “best,” so “Everything Everywhere” could prevail for being the most original. But there’s stiff competition from writers seen as overdue: Tony Kushner (“Fabelmans” co-writer), Todd Field (“Tár”) and perhaps toughest of all, Martin McDonagh (“Banshees”).
