Well, here we go. We've definitely got a sweeper this year. La La Land scored in just about every tech category plus Picture and Director with the BFCA, and I'm predicting it's gonna roll right along through the Oscars in February as well. It also looks to me like we may have three of the four acting winners locked in already with Moonlight's Mahershala Ali (who's pretty much swept all the critics awards so far), Viola Davis and Casey Affleck. Surprisingly the critics seem to be resisting Emma Stone despite going all in for La La Land otherwise, even choosing Natalie Portman over her at this show tonight. So I guess Best Actress isn't settled yet, but I still think Stone has to be the favorite with the industry, especially given the film's frontrunner status. We'll see what happens after she inevitably wins the Golden Globe. I'm guessing she'll take over at that point.
