THR'S 30 FILMS FOR BEST PICTURE




I stumbled across this article from The Hollywood Reporter over the weekend.  It was posted/published a couple of weeks back.  I'm not really sure how I missed it, but I did.  Anyway, THR's Tyler Coates has put together a list of 30 films because, as the article says:

"These films are at the front of the race to the Dolby Theatre — a list that includes box office smashes, festival darlings and critical favorites."

From the list, here are the TFF films that Coates suggests are "in play":

All of Us Strangers
Anatomy of a Fall
The Bikeriders (though this looks likely to be released in 2024 now)
The Holdovers
Nyad
Poor Things
Rustin
Saltburn
The Taste of Things
The Zone of Interest
