AUGUST 10TH PREDICTIONS
|
Tier 1a Predictions - The Frontrunners |

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
1917
An Oscar winning director with a big ambitious war epic with a cast filled with great actors. Oscar has liked those in the past. |
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Their favourite genre (kind of) plus two well loved actors. Plus its past time for Hanks to be back. On the other hand where is the conflict? |
The Farewell
Its Sundance raves and blissful reviews actually translated into being an arthouse smash. How about that. Now a march toward Oscar nominations. Let's hope the campaign is strong. |
JoJo Rabbit Could be a fresh wild card. Fox Searchlight knows how to push their movies but their parent company is in disarray due to Disney acquisition and satire can be tough for viewers to "get" |
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Tarantino is hit and miss with Oscar voters but this one will have long legs in conversation so we say "hit". There's often one summer movie that goes the distance. |
| Tier 1b - And a few of these ? | ||||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Harriet Their favourite genre + a much-needed big screen treatment of a legendary American. |
The Irishman
Netflix will want this to be their next Roma but will it? Scorsese has been to this well multiple times. Too many times? If DeNiro and Pacino return to their former greatness though, watch out. |
Queen & Slim The topic (police violence against black people) is all too timely. Could be a hot button zeitgeist choice. It'll need to be a sleeper hit first though. |
Just Mercy
In ye olden times this would have been called "Oscar bait" but Oscar has been getting friskier. Still they might make room for a legal drama if its very well acted |
Little Women It's biggest test will be how necessary it feels, given that the story has been filmed several times. Could be more commercial than awards friendly but who knows. |
| Tier 2 -Or maybe a couple of these? | ||||

Ford v Ferrarri Oscar prefers movies about men (sigh) and this and The Irishman are the biggest 'manly' spectacles on tap. Mangold has been rising of late... so why are we still suspicious of this one? |
The Good Liar Advanced buzz was unexpectedly strong but perhaps it's more of a commercial thing. Great leads and an ideal release date. If it catches on with audiences it could surprise |
Pain & Glory Advance reviews are very strong but will Oscar come around to Pedro again? It's been awhile. They do like movies about movies, though and Banderas and Cruz will bring the glamor. |
The Goldfinch If Brooklyn was indication he has an amazing career ahead. People love the book but will it transfer to the screen. Warner Bros always has multiple options to push. |
The Report Had Oscar buzz out of Sundance and Hollywood is pissed off about GOP politics of late so the timing could be strong. But Amazon keeps getting nervous about release plans... |
| Tier 3- Other movies to consider... | ||||

(ALPHA ORDER)
NOT EXPECTED UNTIL NEXT YEAR... OR THE FACT THAT WE STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A SCHEDULED FESTIVAL BOW SUGGESTS NEXT YEAR
