Experts commented that it was a battle between “a tiny guy and a giant” – CODA vs The Power of the Dog.
Drama The Power of the Dog is a leading contender. It received rave reviews for its acting, cinematography, and background music. Moreover, director Jane Campion is almost certain to win the best director award.
