Last Monday I posted MTFB's first Oscar predictions for Best Picture, Direction, Actress, Actor, Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor. Today it's time for predictions for Best Adapted and Original Screenplays. Moving forward for the next few weeks I'll continue to update predictions in the eight "above the line" categories and as we move deeper into Oscar season, I'll expand to include all of the other categories as well. For now, though, here are my first predictions in the Screenplay categories. TFF #49 films are in Bold.

ERIK ANDERSON'S OSCAR PREDIX AND TFF #49
For the past couple of posts I have begun tracking where major Oscar pundits have TFF #49 films in their predictions. Previous posts have looked at predictions from Variety's Clayton Davis and The Hollywood Reporters' Scott Feinberg. I'll continue this line of "reportage" through the season. Today I'm turning to Erik Anderson and his predictions for his site Awards Watch.
As of this morning's post Anderson has late September predictions for Best Picture, Direction, Actress, Actor, Supporting Acting and the Screenplays. Hers' what he has among TFF #49 films predicted for Oscar nominations in those categories:
Women Talking: Best Picture, Direction, Supporting Actress/Foy, Supporting Actress/Buckley, Supporting Actor/Whishaw and Adapted Screenplay
Bardo: Best Picture, Direction, Original Screenplay
TAR: Best Picture, Actress/Blanchett
Empire of Light: Actress/Colman
MEXICO MAKES IT OFFICIAL: BARDO
Mexico officially announced this week that its entrant for International Feature Oscar glory is Alejandro G. Inarritu's Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. The film had a rough go with critics through both and Venice and Telluride BUT with a sharp new trailer last week and news that Inarritu had shaved more than 20 minutes of runtime and now this announcement, the film might be picking up a little steam.
The film is set for release on Oct. 27th and to drop on Netflix on Dec. 16th.
NEW TRAILER FOR BONES AND ALL
MGM and United Artists have released a new trailer for Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All. That dropped on Thursday last week. Here it is from YouTube:
Bones and All is set for release on Nov. 23rd.
