OSCAR RACE 2026-THE EXPERTS:THE CONTENDING
I'm beginning to close down my round-up of some of the Oscar prediction websites and their view of which films will be best picture nominated with a focus on what TFF #52 films are in play. Today we look at Mark Johnson of The Contending. Mark is also featured as an Oscar Expert for Gold Derby. Here's how he is handicapping the nominations for BP. (TFF #52 films are in Bold):
1) One Battle After Another
2) Hamnet
3) Sinners
4) Sentimental Value
5) Wicked: For Good
6) It Was Just an Accident
7) Marty Supreme
8) House of Dynamite
9) Jay Kelly
10) Bugonia
So Mark has five TFF films getting nominated which would be an all time record for number of TFF films nominated for BP in one year.
