Some of the tricks that worked well in The Big Short didn't come off so nicely in Vice. I did laugh at the credits starting to roll mid-movie.
I really liked The Favourite and thought Lanthimos's directing was a big part of setting the tone of the film. It's a cracked version of reality, and his camerawork really put you in that state of mind.
I assume this is Cuaron's to lose, but I think I'd vote for either Lanthimos or Lee.
