Jonathan, you’re hosting ITV’s coverage of the Oscars again this year. What do you tip to win best picture?
Well, I think it’s going to be a toss-up for best picture between Sinners, which I think will probably have more traction in the States than it had here, and One Battle After Another. I suspect it will go to One Battle After Another.

Do you have a favourite?
I liked them both about the same, but if pushed, I think I slightly preferred Sinners. It felt like they were taking that genre movie and doing something really interesting with it. I liked One Battle After Another, but think it’s somewhat over-praised for what it is. It’s really solid filmmaking and fun, but I don’t think it’s an important film… not that it should be.

What about the other nominees?
I had the same feeling about Marty Supreme as I did with One Battle After Another: I enjoyed it, but I wasn’t crazy about it. Hamnet wasn’t for me, but I can see why some people really like it. I love the way Frankenstein looked and felt, and I love all of Guillermo’s stuff, as he’s also a friend of mine – so I can’t say anything there! But it wasn’t my Frankenstein. But I did like lots of it.

So what about best actor? Who do you see winning there?

It might be Michael B Jordan for Sinners, I think, because it’s a very showy performance. But also it might be Leo’s year again. I think because we all have a slight ick about his personal life, we sometimes forget that he’s an amazing actor.
