Variety's Early Oscar Predictions and TFF / MTFB's Unofficial TFF Oscar History Updated / Trailers: Wildcat and Food Inc. 2 / Interviews and Profiles

VARIETY'S EARLY OSCAR PREDICITONS AND TFF




I'm continuing my current project of scouring early Oscar prognostications for possible titles that might pop up at the 51st Telluride Film Festival.  Today's source is Clayton Davis from Variety.  For this source I looked at Best Picture Predictions first and then for other possibilities from the acting, directing and screenplay categories.

So here are the films from those predictions that seem to me to be the most Telluride-ific.

From Clayton's 10 Best Picture predictions:

Andrea Arnold's Bird
Steve McQueen's Blitz
Edward Berger's Conclave
Joshua Oppenheimer's The End
Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis
RaMell Ross' The Nickel Boys
Malcolm Washington's The Piano Lesson

From Clayton's alternates for Best Picture:

Ali Abbasi's The Apprentice
Mike Leigh's Hard Truths
Pablo Larrain's Maria
Paolo Sorrentino's Parenthope
Luca Gaudagnino's Queer
Jason Reitman's SNL 1975

And from the other categories:

Paul Schrader's Oh Canada
Duke Johnson's The Actor
Jonathan Kent's Long Day's Journey Into Night




MTFB'S UNOFFICIAL TFF OSCAR HISTORY UPDATED




As promised, the Unofficial TFF Oscar History Page has been updated to reflect the results of the recently concluded Oscar season.  Highlighted updates are that TFF films collectively went over 600 total nominations (607 to be exact).  TFF films have won 127 Oscars.  

I have included a new nugget with this update and that is a list of TFF films that earned four or more Oscar wins.

See all the newly included info from this year's Oscars plus the new section by using the link above on the masthead.
