MORE PREDICTED OSCAR WINNERS FROM THE FAC
On Monday, The FAC took its first stab at predicting the winners of the Oscar in 12 categories. In today's post I continue down that road with a look at six additional categories: Original Score, Original Song, Production Design, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects.
As always The FAC uses the published predictions of the following experts to derive its picks:
Erik Anderson/Awards Watch
Clayton Davis/Awards Circuit
Greg Ellwood/The Playlist-Awards Campaign
Scott Feinberg/The Hollywood Reporter
Joey Magidson/Hollywood News
Nathaniel Rogers/Film Experience
Sasha Stone/Awards Daily
Kristopher Tapley/Variety-InContention
Anne Thompson/Indiewire
Telluride #43 films are in Bold.
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
1) La La Land
2) Moonlight
3) Lion
4) Jackie
5) Passengers
Comment: Looks like La La's to lose.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG
1) City of Stars/La La Land
2) How Far I'll Go/Moana
3) Audition/La La Land
4) Can't Stop the Feeling/Trolls
5) The Empty Chair/Jim: The James Foley Story
Comment: I still think the Moana song could win this despite The FAC metric.
PRODUCTION DESIGN
1) La La Land
2) Arrival
3) Fantastic Beasts
4) Hail. Caesar
5) Passengers
Comment: La La Land seems to be the prohibitive favorite.
BEST SOUND EDITING
1) Hacksaw Ridge
2) La La Land
3) Arrival
4) Deepwater Horizon
5) Sully
Comment: This category could tell the tale in as far as La La Land's quest to tie or break the record for most Oscar wins ever. The record is 11. La La is nominated for 14 but at the maximum can only win 13 because of the double Best Song nominations. Hacksaw is a solid favorite but certainly doesn't have a lock on the trophy.
BEST SOUND MIXING
1) La La Land
2) Hacksaw Ridge
3) Arrival
4) Rogue One
5) 13 Hours
Comment; Back to solid La La Land ground here.
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
1) The Jungle Book
2) Rogue One
3) Doctor Strange
4) Deepwater Horizon
5) Kubo and the Two Strings
Comment: Looks solid for Jungle Book.
In these six categories La La Land is leading for four Oscars and Hacksaw Ridge and The Jungle Book would get one each. Added to Monday's totals, The FAC has La La Land at eight wins with Moonlight at two and Fences at two. Manchester by the Sea would be the other TFF #43 film with a win.
I'll have The FAC's look at the final six categories on Monday.

About DP Linus Sandgren of La La Land from Indiewire.
And focusing on editor Joi McMillon who cut Moonlight also from Indiewire.
BIG TALK FROM DIRECTORS (FOUR FROM TFF #43)
The Film Stage posted a 2 and 1/2 hour round table of this year's DGA nominees: Chazelle, Jenkins, Lonergan and Villeneuve who were featured at TFF #43 as well as Garth Davis of Lion. That massive discussion can be found Here from YouTube:
The Film Stage post is here.
AND FINALLY...COULD WE SEE TONY ERDMANN AT A FUTURE TELLURIDE? (yes, I spelled it Ton-y on purpose because I'll bet they Americanize it that way)

Breaking news the last two days: There will apparently be an American remake of Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann to star Jack Nicholson and Kristen Wiig. Reports say the project is at Paramount and is looking for a writer and director.
You have to wonder if a film that will almost certainly be Nicholson;s last major role might not be considered for a spot at T-ride which would be both weird and kind of fitting as the original Toni Erdmann screened for the first time in North America at last fall's soiree.
Lots of coverage here for the announcement of the new version:
Variety, The Film Stage and Hollywood Elsewhere.
