Here's your MTFB Update for the remining seven Oscar categories that I have not updated in this latest round of predictions. TFF films are in Bold.
COSTUMES
1) Poor Things
2) Barbie
3) Killers of the Flower Moon
4) Oppenheimer
5) Napoleon
MAKEUP/HAIR

DOCUMENTARY SHORT
1) The Last Repair Shop
2) The ABCs of Book Burning
3) Nai Nai and Wai Po
4) The Barber of Little Rock
5) Island in Between
Comment: Almost all of these categories are competitive. Documentary Short is particularly tight between Last Repair Shop and ABCs of Book Burning with Nai Nai and Barber of Little Rock also possible. Costumes is also a very close category as Poor Things and Barbie appear to be duking it out in multiple craft categories.
As you can see from above MTFB predicts (for the moment) that TFF films Poor Things and The Last Repair Shop will win Oscars on March 10th. Across all 23 categories MTFB projects TFF films winning a total of six Oscars. In addition to the two listed above MTFB has The Holdovers winning two acting awards for Giamatti and Randolph. Anatomy of a Fall winning Original Screenplay and The Zone of Interest winning International Feature.
Additionally, Emma Stone could win over Lily Gladstone for Best Actress. The Holdovers could sub- out for Anatomy of a Fall for Original Screenplay. Poor Things could upend Barbie for Production Design.
Over the next three posts, I'll update each group (Big Eight, Middle Eight and Final Seven) one more time before final predictions on March 10th.
SAG AWARDS AND TFF
TFF films had a tough night at the SAG Awards Saturday night as the only TFF winner was Da'Vine Joy Randolph for Best Supporting Actress for Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. Other TFF acting contenders that were thought to have a chance were edged out. Emma Stone from Poor Things was overtaken by Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon and Cillian Murphy from Oppenheimer won over The Holdover's Paul Giamatti.
Oppenheimer won the Best Performance by a Cast award setting the stage for a Big Night for the film on March 10th.
