If I were a voting member of the motion picture academy, the following represents how I’d cast my ballot in 11 key Oscar races.
“The Power of the Dog” has been in the fast lane all season, although some observers have suggested that “CODA,” with its surprise Screen Actors Guild ensemble win, might be flooring it in the final stretch. I’m not usually this prone to vehicular metaphors, but they feel like a fitting segue to my point, which is that “Drive My Car,” Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s magnificent and moving Haruki Murakami adaptation, is the best of this year’s nominees by a mile.

The brilliance of Cumberbatch’s performance isn’t just that he’s a great actor; he’s a great actor playing a great actor, a man of thwarted, anguished desires who’s persuaded himself to don the chaps of a Montana cowboy and play the role as if his life depended on it. It’s those interlocking layers of deceit that make Phil Burbank such a terrifying, ultimately tragic figure and “The Power of the Dog” such an incisive dismantling of performative masculinity.
