I have Oppenheimer with 11 nominations: Best Picture, Direction, Actor (Murphy), Supporting Actress (Blunt), Supporting Actor (Downey Jr.), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Score, Production Design, Sound. Additional nominations are possible in Makeup/Hair and Costumes.
Killers of the Flower Moon also with 11 nominations: Best Picture, Direction, Actress (Gladstone), Supporting Actor (DeNiro), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Score, Production Design, Sound and Costumes. Additional nominations are possible for Actor (DiCaprio) and Makeup/Hair.

That's five films with double digit nominations. Has that ever happened before?
Other TFF films I am currently predicting get nominations:
The Holdovers with 4: Best Picture, Actor (Giamatti, Supporting Actress (Randolph) and Original Screenplay. It could also slide into nominations for Direction, Supporting Actor (Sessa) and Editing.
The Zone of Interest with 4: Best Picture, International Film, Cinematography and Score. Zone could also score nominations for Direction, Adapted Screenplay and Sound.
Anatomy of a Fall with 2 nominations: Best Actress (Huller) and Original Screenplay. Anatomy could also sneak into a Best Picture nomination Perhaps displacing The Color Purple which I currently am predicting for five nominations including Best Picture.
Nyad with 2 nominations: Best Actress (Bening) and Supporting Actress (Foster). Maybe a shot at Makeup/Hair.
Rustin with 2 nominations: Best Actor (Domingo) and Song.
All of Us Strangers with one nominations: Best Actor (Scott). Also possible for Adapted Screenplay.
American Symphony with one nomination: Best Documentary and a possibility at Song.
Beyond Utopia with one nomination for Best Documentary.
I am currently predicting that four of the five nominees for Best International film will be films that screened at TFF: The previously mentioned The Zone of Interest would be accompanied by The Taste of Things, The Teachers' Lounge and Perfect Days.
Among TFF films that I am not currently predicted get nominations there are films that might still earn some including"
Saltburn: Possible nominations for Supporting Actress (Pike), Original Screenplay and Cinematography.
El Conde could get a Cinematography nomination.
Anselm could get a nomination for Best Documentary.
Fallen Leaves could be nominated for Best International Feature.
Total TFF nominations predicted by MTFB as of today: 31 with another 16 possible.
