It’s Thanksgiving and all the films that are potential Best Picture contenders have screened for AMPAS, guild, and select press. Granted, we’re still not entirely sure who the winner will be, that’s still very much up for grabs, but the pretenders are starting to reveal themselves.
The last movie to screen was James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” — the film itself has been politely approved of but it sounds more like an acting showcase than a best picture contender. Regardless, with the exception of ‘Complete Unknown,’ I’ve now seen everything that needs to be seen, “Anora” and “Conclave” are still the top two films to beat — nothing else comes close in my estimation. This is how I currently have the race ranked:
- “Anora”
- “Conclave”
- “The Brutalist”
- “Emilia Perez”
- “Dune: Part II”
- “A Real Pain”
- “Sing Sing”
- “Wicked”
- “Nickel Boys”
- “A Complete Unknown”
Oscars: ‘Anora' & ‘Conclave' still the frontrunners; THR says ‘September 5' a “Lock" for Best Picture
