CHECKING WITH OSCAR EXPERTS: AWARDS WATCH



We continue today with our rundown of Oscar gurus and their early line Best Picture nominee predictions as we move through the New York Film Festival which will end the wave of the four major fall film fests: Venice, Telluride, Toronto and NYFF.

Today's view comes from Erik Anderson who runs Awards Watch.  Here are his current predictions for Best Picture.  TFF #52 films are Bold.

1) One Battle After Another
2) Hamnet
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value
5) Jay Kelly
6) Marty Supreme
7) Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
8) It Was Just an Accident
9) Frankenstein
10) Wicked: For Good

Other TFF #52 in the 11-20 spots:

13) The Secret agent
15) Bugonia

This set of predictions would put six TFF #52 titles in the list of ten nominees which would be a TFF record.
