LOOKING BACK AT LAST YEAR'S OSCAR PREDICTIONS
Every year after the Oscar ceremony ends, there are some pundits who turn the page very quickly and predict possible players for the Oscar race a year out. I scour those for clues about films that could become Telluride invitees.
I thought today, with Oscar 2018 less than a month away, it might be interesting to see what that looked like. For example, in my Mar. 2, 2017 post I included a link to an Awards Circuit story that named 50 anticipated films.
From that list I named Downsizing, Battle of the Sexes and Wonderstruck as TFF possibilities (and they have zero nominations between them). I also incorrectly guessed The Current War, Suburbicon and Molly's Game.
That MTFB post is here.
A more Oscar specific Awards Circuit article was referenced on Mar. 9th.
I culled that list of films and named possible TFF films which included: Battle of the Sexes, Downsizing, Wonderstruck, Lean on Pete and The Shape of Water.
That post is here.
And Glenn Whipp took a stab for the L.A. Times which I evaluated and named Downsizing, Wonderstruck and hinted at Darkest Hour.
So as we move to the end of Oscar season, know this...there will be a new set of these type of articles soon and I will examine those for TFF #45 possibilities.
You can't stop what's coming.
My analysis of The L.A. Times article is here.
That's your MTFB for Thursday. More Monday.
