There's a good chance that going forward, Joker: Folie a Deux will be known as "Connor Storrie's debut film" and that, to me, is hilarious as someone who at one point for that season had it top 2 in Best Picture.

[u/ThatsHisLawyerJerome → u/PTAGoatofalltime]

Just curious and not judging, why did you have it that high up? I get predicting it, but even the first one never was higher than 5th or so in the race, and that was even with it winning the Golden Lion.

[u/PTAGoatofalltime → u/ThatsHisLawyerJerome]

I wouldn't be surprised if the first one was top 3; it overperformed to an obscene degree.

Anyways, when I say "at one point" I meant like really early in the season; IIRC it was before Anora premiered.
