TAPLEYS' NEW PREDICTIONS FOR OSCAR
Variety's InContention Awards expert, Kristopher Tapley had updated Oscar predictions Saturday ahead of the Golden Globes.
Telluride films included in his predictions include:
Roma (8): Picture, Direction, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Production Design, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Foreign Language Film
The Favourite (7): Picture, Actress, Supporting Actress (both Stone and Weisz), Original Screenplay, Costumes, Production Design
First Man (6): Cinematography, Film Editing, Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects
Can You Ever Forgive Me? (3): Actress, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay
Cold War (3): Direction, Cinematography, Foreign Language Film
First Reformed (2): Actor, Original Screenplay***TFF #44
Shoplifters (1): Foreign Language Film
Free Solo (1): Documentary
Border (1); Makeup/Hair
A couple of notes...
If Tapley is 100% accurate, TFF #45 feature films earn 30 Oscar nominations. TFF #44 (First Reformed) gets 2.
Tapley has no picks in the Shorts categories in this latest set of predictions and TFF #45 could snag an additional nomination or two there.
First Man now looks like it will be the most nominated film that doesn't get a Best Picture nomination. I am dismayed.
I'm also a little surprised that both Can You Ever Forgive Me with a probable two acting nominations and a screenplay nod isn't more in the Best Picture conversation. Same for First Reformed for the same reasons.
Tapley's inclusion of Pawlikowski for his direction of Cold War is a bold choice but I'd be stunned if that actually happens.
Here's Tapley's complete set of Oscar predictions.
And speaking of Tapley, Kris has kept up an annual tradition by posting his selections for the ten best individual shots from 2018 films at Variety. That list with commentary went up on the Variety.com site in late December.
Among the films/shots included were TFF #45 and TFF #44 films (photos from Tapley's Variety.com post):
At #10-First Man:
At #8- First Reformed (from TFF #44):
At #7- Cold War:
At #3- Roma
The top shot in Tapley's list came from the horror film Hereditary.

That's this Monday's MTFB. I'll have more on Thursday.
