Last week Gold Derby reported that Hamnet had slipped by One Battle After Another to become (by the slimmest of margins) their predicted favorite to win Best Picture. As of this morning that was still holding true.

GOLD DERBY HAS HAMNET IN FRONT
In a very interesting twist Gold Derby now has Chloe Zhao's Hamnet fractionally ahead of Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. The edition posted yesterday revealed that. You can see that post linked here.
Additionally Gold Derby has five TFF #52 in the predicted five for Best Picture: Hamnet, Sentimental Value, It was Just an Accident, Frankenstein and Bugonia. Five BP nominations for films that played Telluride in a single year would establish a new record TFF.
TFF #52 AND THE BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS
Five TFF #52 films were nominated for British Independent Film Awards on Monday. Henry Lighton's Pillion had the most nominations of any Telluride film with 10. Harris Dickinson's Urchin had six. Here's the complete breakdown:

MTFB'S FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION PREDICTIONS FOR 2025-26
Well, we're finally here. Seven weeks after the conclusion of TFF #52 it's time to start making some predix myself for the coming Oscar Season. Today we'll roll out Best Picture and Best Direction. We'll follow up with the Lead Acting categories on Thursday and then next week we'll the Supporting Acting categories and then the Screenplay categories. We'll keep the focus on these eight "above the Line" categories for a bit before expending to eventually include all categories prior to Oscar nomination morning on January 22, 2026.
TFF #52 films are Bold. Here we go...
BEST PICTURE
1) One Battle After Another
2) Hamnet
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value
5) Marty Supreme
6) Jay Kelly
7) A House of Dynamite
8) It Was Just an Accident
9) Wicked: For Good
10) The Secret Agent
Other Possibles: Bugonia, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere and Avatar: Fire and Ice.
Should these prove out to be the top ten it would mean half the nominated field for Best Picture played at TFF 52 which would be new record for TFF films to be BP nominated.
FINAL LOOK AT OSCAR EXPERTS BEST PICTURE PREDICTIONS: SCREEN RANT
Here's a last look at what Oscar Experts are predicting for Best Picture, These come from Screen Rant and were updated last Friday (TFF films are in Bold):
1) Hamnet
2) One Battle After Another
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value
5) Marty Supreme
6) A House of Dynamite
7) Wicked: For Good
8) The Secret Agent
9) Avatar: Fire and Ask
10) Jay Kelly
So Screen Rant has four TFF #52 films in the final ten for Best Picture which would tie for the record number of Telluride films nominated for BP in a single.
Stay tuned for my first jump into the prediction pool on Monday with my takes on Best Picture and Direction.
Let's update our chart of the all of the BP predictions we have gathered so far. To this point with input from Gold Derby (GD), The Hollywood Reporter (THR), Variety (V), Awards Watch (AW), Awards Radar (AR), Next Best Picture (NBP), The Contending (TC) and Screen Rant (SC), here's where TFF #52 films stand for BP predictions:
Hamnet (8): GD, THR, V, AW, AR, NBP, TC, SR
Sentimental Value (8): GD, THR, V, AW, AR, NBP, TC, SR
I'm beginning to close down my round-up of some of the Oscar prediction websites and their view of which films will be best picture nominated with a focus on what TFF #52 films are in play. Today we look at Mark Johnson of The Contending. Mark is also featured as an Oscar Expert for Gold Derby. Here's how he is handicapping the nominations for BP. (TFF #52 films are in Bold):
1) One Battle After Another
2) Hamnet
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value

PAUL MESCAL FOR THE HISTORY OF SOUND FROM INDIEWIRE:
We started with last Thursday's post to transition from predicting the films that would play Telluride to focusing on which TFF #52 films might be players in the 2025-26 awards season. We began with Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter and today we look at the Best Picture predictions from Variety's Clayton Davis, senior awards editor. Here are Davis's current top ten picks to get nominated for best Picture (TFF 352 films are in bold and are listed in order of most likely to less likely:
1) Hamnet
2) One Battle after Another
3) Sinners
4) A House of Dynamite
5) Wicked: For Good
6) Sentimental Value
7) Marty Supreme
8) Frankenstein
9) The Secret Agent
10) Bugonia
Other TFF #52 films in the Top Twenty are:
13) It Was Just an Accident
15) Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
17) Jay Kelly
So in this scenario five TFF #52 films would be Best Picture nominated which would be a first for that to occur.
From Netflix this morning, the release of a new trailer for Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly starring George Clooney, Adam Sandler and Laura Dern. Jay Kelly is in theaters on Nov.14th.
We've made the run of post-festival ratings with the reportage of results from my annual poll of the People, the Professionals and then the Composite of both together. Hamnet did very, very well...as it should. So, as has become the custom here at MTFB, we turn the page to what happens now in awards season to the films that made up the TFF #52 lineup.
EARLY LINE ON OSCAR BEST PICTURE NOMINEES
I did quick inventory of a variety of Oscar prediction websites in search of an early line on the Best Picture competition. The quick line looks like this:
1) Hamnet
2) One Battle After Another
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value
5) A House of Dynamite
A few other TFF #52 films could also be in play such as The Secret Agent, It Was Just an Accident, Bugonia and Jay Kelly.
This far out, however, some contenders haven't been considered as they haven't been seen by anyone yet. That list of films would include: Wicked: For Good, Avatar: Fire and Glass, Marty Supreme and Is This Thing On?.
Additionally Gold Derby has assessed the early race this way:
Finally, checking in some specific Oscar prognosticators, here's where Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter is on Best Picture:
Frontrunners:
1) Hamnet (Focus)
2) Sentimental Value (Neon)
3) Sinners (Warner Bros.)
4) A House of Dynamite (Netflix)
5) The Secret Agent (Neon)
6) Jay Kelly (Netflix)
7) It Was Just An Accident (Neon)
8) Bugonia (Focus)
9) Train Dreams (Netflix)
10) Roofman (Paramount)
And again, to point out, Feinberg does not add films to the list until he's actually seen them. At the time of this post that included One Battle After Another among others.
Sony Pictures Classics released character posters from Richard Linklater's Blue Moon featuring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott and Bobby Canavale: Here they are:

We cap off the run of posts that highlight the way people rated the films at Telluride today with what I call The Composite Telluride in which I add up a film's ratings from both The People and the Pros. This year 11 films had enough responses from both groups to make this list. There are three films that made one list but didn't make The Composite because they failed to get enough people to see them from one group or the other. Those were Nouvelle Vague which didn't make the People's list and If I Had Legs I'd Kick you as well as A Private Life which weren't seen by enough Pros.
So, here's the Composite. Each title is listed with it's composite rating (on a scale of 10) and its positions on the Pro list then the Peoples list.
1) Hamnet 9.19 [1-1]
2) Sentimental Value 8.79 [2-3]
3) It Was Just an Accident 8.58 [3-4]
4) Bugonia 7.85 [9-2]
5) Jay Kelly 7.79 [4-8]
6) The History of Sound 7.67 [5-7]
7) [TIE] Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere 7.30 [8-6]
7) [TIE] Tuner 7.30 [10-5]
9) Blue Moon 7.12 [7-10]
10) Frankenstein 6.64 [12-9]
11) Ballad of a Small Player 6.11 [11-13]
After these additions the All Time Composite Top Ten looks like this:
1) (TIE) 12 Years a Slave (9.25) 2013 (Won Best Picture)
1) (TIE) Argo (9.25) 2012 (Won Best Picture)
3) Roma (9.20) 2018 (Won Best Foreign Language Film)
4) (TIE) Moonlight (9.19) 2016 (Won Best Picture)
4) (TIE) Hamnet (9.19) 2025 (???)
6) Birdman (9.18) 2014 (Won Best Picture)
7) Parasite (9.11) 2019 (Won Best Picture)
8) Stories We Tell (9.10) 2012
9) Poor Things (9.04) 2023 (Nominated Best Picture)
10) (TIE) Tim's Vermeer (8.97) 2013
10) (TIE) Anora (8.97) 2024 (Won Best Picture)
So Chloe Zhao's Hamnet lands tied with Moonlight for the fourth best Composite score of all time.
An expanded list of The Composite and updated All Time ratings for all three categories (Pros, Peeps and Composite) can be found on the "Film Ratings from Past Fests" page. The tab for that is above.
One last thing. The top 10 films that were most viewed as a percentage of the total number of people who rated films for The People's Telluride.
