Major contenders missing from this list include three really big ones: Cyrano, Belfast, and House of Gucci as well as three minor ones: The Last Duel, Last Night in Soho, and The Power of the Dog. This will definitely help the campaigns for The French Dispatch, Licorice Pizza, and The Green Knight.
