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

Linked here are Clayton's complete set of early Oscar predictions for Variety.
