As we turn the corner after The SHOW to what films from The SHOW will make an impact on the awards season, I thought it would behoove us to look back at the history of the fest and its Oscar players. So I went back to 2009, the year that the new expanded list of nominees came into effect so that there were more than five Best Picture nominees each year.
One of the reasons I decided to do that is that early Oscar BP lists are indicating that 2024 might be a record year for films that played Telluride. Since 2009 the largest number of TFF films nominated for Best Picture in a single year is four and that has happened twice. This year, at least as the early predictions are showing, TFF #51 almost certainly will be the third time that four films from the best will be nominated. But, there is a reasonable chance that there will be five films among the ten that get the noms.
Here's the history of TFF Best Picture nominees since 2009 (* indicates Best Picture winner):
2009 (2)- An Education, Up in the Air
2010 (3)- The King's Speech*, Black Swan, 127 Hours
2011 (2)- The Artist*, The Descendants
2012 (2)- Argo*, Amour
2013 (3)- 12 Years a Slave*, Gravity, Nebraska
2014 (2)- Birdman*, The Imitation Game
2015 (2)- Spotlight*, Room
2016 (4)- Moonlight*, Arrival, La La Land, Manchester by the Sea
2017 (3)- The Shape of Water*, Darkest Hour, Lady Bird
2018 (2)- The Favourite, Roma
2019 (3)- Parasite*, Ford v. Ferrari, Marriage Story
2020 (2)- Nomadland*, The Father (if TFF had happened these films would have played)
2021 (3)- Belfast, King Richard, The Power of the Dog
2022 (2)- TAR, Women Talking
2023 (4)- Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest
2024- ?????
That's a total of 39 Best Picture nominees over the 15 years for an average of 2.6 per year with 10 winners. Will the 2024 race be the first wherein Telluride has five nominees?
