The only question is whether some voters will deem this win sufficient, and then go on to choose a different movie in the best-picture category. Still, the field is scattered: “Missing Link” won the Golden Globe, “Klaus” swept the Annie awards, and Netflix’s “I Lost My Body” has highbrow fans, too. With votes all over the place and no singular, widely seen alternative to back, “Toy Story 4” is well-positioned to win. The film has received a strong push from Netflix and counts no less than Barack and Michelle Obama among its backers. But “Ford v Ferrari” is the obvious choice here, since its racing sequences would be nothing without fast and precise editing.
