3) Poor Things
4) American Fiction
5) Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING: PART TWO
I've decided for each post between now and the Oscars to share where some of the top Oscarologists are in terms of predicting the 23 category winners. Today I'm sharing the publicly posted current predictions from Erik Anderson of Awards Watch and Joey Magidson of Awards Radar. as with my predictions above, TFF films are in Bold.
From Erik Anderson/Awards Watch:
Oppenheimer (7): Best Picture, Direction, Supporting Actor, Cinematography, Editing, Score and Sound.
Barbie (4): Best Adapted Screenplay, Costume, Production Design and Song (What Was I Made For?).
The Holdovers (2): Best Actor and Supporting Actress.
Films with single Oscar wins:
Killers of the Flower Moon: Best Actress.
Anatomy of a Fall: Best Original Screenplay.
The Zone of Interest: Best International Feature.
Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse: Best Animated Feature
20 Days in Mariupol; Best Documentary Feature.
Maestro: Best Makeup/Hair
The Creator: Best Visual Effects.

And from Joey Magidson of Awards Radar:
Oppenheimer (7): Best Picture, Direction, Supporting Actor, Cinematography, Editing, Score and Sound.
Barbie (3): Best Adapted Screenplay, Costumes and Song (What Was I Made For?).

20 Days in Mariupol: Best Documentary Feature.
