Dune will win best picture

Based on what exactly? That would be pretty unlikely. Dune hasn't won any major precursors. It will either be The Power of the Dog (won DGA, BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globes) or CODA (PGA, SAG). Dune is a great film and will likely win between 3-6 Oscars, but not best picture.

Well, it may as well have..

For a while there, I thought it was going to win.....

what's it like to be so right?
