As I post this on Thursday morning TFF #48 films look good for Oscar wins in Best Direction/Jane Campion-The Power of the Dog and Best Actor/Will Smith-King Richard.  In the "possible" category are Belfast for Best Picture and Original Screenplay; The Power of the Dog for Best Picture,  Adapted Screenplay, Original Score and Cinematography and King Richard for Best Editing.


FOCUS FEATURES CHIEF SAYS OSCAR SURPIRSE WILL HAPPEN 





Scott Feinberg at The Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Focus Features head Peter Kujawski who insists the Oscar race could still see its film's name, Kenneth Branagh's Belfast, on the card that is pulled from the Best Picture envelope on Sunday night.

Kujawski is quoted as saying: “There is gonna be a real surprise.”

Kujawski thinks the preferential ballot will work in Belfast's favor.
