I am continuing my series wherein I check the Oscar predictions of a number of experts and how they have situated films that played at TFF #49.  Previously I have passed along predictions from Variety's Clayton Davis, The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Feinberg and Awards Watch's Erik Anderson.  Today I'm highlighting Dave Karger who has returned to Entertainment Weekly as their 2023 Oscar specialist.  Dave has predicted Best Picture, Direction and the acting categories in his first pass at this year's Oscar field.  Here's how TFF #49 films fare in his prognostications:
