I'm posting my latest take on the Best Original Screenplay race today. My last Original Screenplay predictions were posted on Oct. 3rd. Each film is followed by its position from the last prediction posting in parentheses. TFF #46 films are Bold.
1) Marriage Story (1)
2) Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood (2)
3) Parasite (3)
4) The Farewell (4)
5) Bombshell (-)
Other possibles: Dolemite Is My Name, Knives Out, 1917
Notes: Bombshell explodes into the race (along with its possible shot at a Best Picture nomination). Dolemite is also gaining some momentum. The top two seem to be probable locks at this point and Parasite is edging closer to that status.

A24 dropped a new trailer for Trey Edward Shults' Waves starring Sterling K. Brown, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Taylor Russell and Lucas Hedges. Here that is from YouTube:

FOCUS ON PARASITE
I have linked a number of stories/posts here about Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite which is currently being billed as the best reviewed film of the year. The film was certainly well regarded by Telluride attendees as it finished at the top of The Professionals and the Composite ratings. The People's Telluride had it a #2 behind The Two Popes.
Here are links to those posts:
