of the ones I saw, I'm going with Favourite and Green Book.
Favourite probably has an edge just for over the top outrageousness, creativity and overall resplendent filmmaking.
I won't kvetch if GB comes in first, however.

Follow Ups:
I watched both last night and I agree with you so far. Out of the six I've seen the Favourite and Green Book are my favourites.
Ideally I'd like to see a bit of a spread. The Favourite should take a female acting award of some such as the three actresses were excellent. Otherwise Best Picture. The two leads in Green Book were also excellent.
Rami was great in BR though. Lady Gaga was good too but she kind of plays herself. They may not vote for someone who hasn't paid her dues as an actress.
So it probably only gets best song.
Spike Lee best director? That film was quite good too. No one mentions it for much. Maybe screenplay.
Emma Stone was bloody excellent though. I'd choose her over Gaga.
To each his/her own, but that filmmaking seemed very disruptive to me...the camera angles were a distraction in this particular case...and that's coming from someone who loves Goddard and other "avant garde" filmmakers.
Not a requirement that others like it,...just happen to find it to be simultaneously glorious and repulsive film making.
I also like Ken Russell. He's not everyone's cup either.
Just my own $.02.

I liked the camera work as it seemed to me to fit the odd worl in which these upper crusts live.The constant fighting for position in the hierarchy. It took about ten minutes for me to get immersed into the various angles and was good to go. Too bad the other fellow fell asleep since for me the last 10 minutes were the best 10 minutes in the film.
Of the 6 I've seen this is the one that sticks with me most. I generally like period piece movies like this but they usually never win. I hope it wins the actress categories.

It will be interesting to see how the director's style holds up in subsequent films. (And don't worry, I'll rewatch the film and catch those last 10 minutes I slept through.)
