“The Banshees of Inisherin”

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” “Tár”

“Triangle of Sadness”

“The Fabelmans”

“Banshees” is the most cleverly written, closely followed by “Everything Everywhere,” with its inventive plotting. The main contest will be between these two; “Banshees” will likely [prevail], given its dark humor. “Triangle” is wickedly funny, but its skewering of the elite may read as too nasty for some Oscar voters.
