Clint Eastwood made 4 movies at the age 73 and onward. Those movies won 8 Oscars. Are they fresh - I dont know. They are just damn good.

I read an opinion somewhere that Spielberg is a poster boy for the classical era of romantic Hollywood. He is a great director and maybe he has to push his limits outside of the Hollywood cliche to do something really groundbreaking.

With that in mind - I have a strong feeling that he will win best picture for the Fabelmans this year. Would he win best director as well - I dont know. It is a good movie. I didn't like much since Munich. So he might be back this year.

The past 3 best pictures - Coda, Parasite, Nomadland. All indie or foreign. Hollywood would have to do bring back a good feel win and give it to him.
