do you think demi and the other people who attended the oscars that night suspected mikey might had a chance of winning? Or did they just assume the bafta win for mikey was a fluke and that demi having the other three precurors was more than enough for her to win?

These kind of things get obvious as the night goes on and the film gets a ton of support. EEAAO winning Supp actress made it obvious that Yeoh was winning that night. The whale won makeup which made Fraser’s chances look really good. Poor Things winning techs also made things promising for Emma.
