Zoë’s Oscar Predictions – October 7th

We’re in the middle of the 2022 New York Film Festival – where films such as Till and She Said are having their world premieres and others like White Noise and Bones and All are being seen by even more audiences – and this Friday sees the limited release of both TÁR and Triangle of Sadness, so it’s safe to say that it’s been a pretty busy week in Oscar world.

Danielle Deadwyler in Till

Let’s start with those world premieres. Till experienced some exclamatory raves after it held its first public screenings last Saturday (it’s currently at a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 7.6/10 average rating and a 70 on Metacritic), with most acclaim being directed towards Danielle Deadwyler and her poignant and powerful performance as Mamie Till Mobley, instantly cementing her as a serious Best Actress contender. I moved her into my predictions last Friday, but I bumped her up to #3 after these reviews came out (just behind Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh, and right above Michelle Williams – as I’m waiting to watch how her lead campaign actually pays off). Some are even bold enough to predict her for the win right now, but I think I’ll have to wait to see how the season pans off before taking such a bet – she sure sounds like she has “the goods” to contend for the win, but she’ll also be a fresh face to most of the Academy, and it’s very likely that she could be Till‘s sole Oscar nomination (the last Best Actress contender to win the Oscar as her film’s sole nomination was Julianne Moore for Still Alice, who benefited from an “it’s her time” narrative). But I definitely won’t be discounting Deadwyler whatsoever from here on out.

Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan in She Said

Meanwhile, we’ll have to wait until Thursday to hear the first public reactions to the aforementioned She Said, but the film has already been holding private press screenings in advance of its NYFF premiere (especially out here in LA), and certain responses have started to leak, with most trending incredibly positive for Universal’s #MeToo drama based on the book of the same name by New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. The Hollywood Reporter‘s Scott Feinberg has seen the film and placed it his own Best Picture predictions, and others seem to echo his enthusiasm, with the “word around town” being that the film is a hard-hitting exposé of the investigation into Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct allegations that might not reach the heights of something like Spotlight, but finds ways to earn your emotional investment nevertheless. It’s tricky to gauge what the industry’s exact response to be to the first “Harvey Weinstein film,” but there could be a belief that honoring the film (and keeping it in the conversation) is a way to right some of Weinstein’s wrongs and hold his enablers accountable, making it a contender with considerable passion in the Academy. What other nominations can it nab? Adapted Screenplay seems to be a solid bet (it’s a weak field and this is a sharp script), and I’d slot it in for Supporting Actress too at this point – Universal has yet to confirm the category placements of stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan, but talk behind the scenes indicates that Kazan will likely go lead while Mulligan could be campaigned supporting (and the latter is said to have the showier role as well).

Margot Robbie in Babylon

She Said‘s rise in my Best Picture rankings means that I had to drop another film in favor of it, and that’s why I’ve (begrudgingly) bumped Triangle of Sadness down for the time being. You might recall that I adored Ruben Östlund’s scorching social satire, but I can’t deny that it’s a bit of a divisive title, and even some critics seem to have their knives out for it (The New York Times gave it a 30 on Metacritic), meaning that the movie can’t count on their support during the first phase of awards season, when critics control the narrative. I have faith that the film can land nods with “artsier” branches like the writers and the directors (I’m most confident on the former, though the latter does lean “international” with its nominees), but this puts Picture and Supporting Actress noms in doubt. Speaking of Supporting Actress, though it still has yet to be confirmed, there’s continually more talk in the pundit world about Margot Robbie’s potential Best Supporting Actress campaign for Babylon (the aforementioned Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter moved her there this week in his predictions, and while he later clarified to World of Reel that nothing has been confirmed to him either, he’s been lead to believe this is where she’ll land when all is said and done, and that’s similar to what I’m hearing as well, with the film positioned as an “ensemble play”), and if it does end up coming to fruition, you can count on Robbie to be a frontrunner in that category for sure, and one of Babylon‘s best bets at a win.

Brad Pitt in Babylon

Someone you can’t say the same for is Robbie’s co-star, Brad Pitt. As I said in my first predictions of the season, though Pitt supposedly gives a phenomenal performance in Babylon, he could be headed for a PR shitstorm when it comes to his legal battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, and sure enough, this week, news broke relating to the specific details of Jolie’s abuse allegations, which painted him in a pretty poor light, to say the least. Is it enough to derail Pitt’s Oscar campaign – or hell, even his entire career? That’s a complicated question. For starters, Brad Pitt has been around for a long time. The guy is already a two-time Oscar winner. He’s incredibly connected, and he has a very strong support system in the industry. Additionally, many voters may view these legal troubles as “a family affair” and not want to pass judgment on what happened – having not been there themselves – choosing to vote (or not to vote) for Pitt based on his performance alone. However, those allegations are admittedly pretty damning. And this is just OctoberBabylon hasn’t even come out yet! That bad publicity is only going to grow and grow and grow as we get closer to the film’s premiere, and it could absolutely be a dark cloud that consumes all his awards chances. I still have him in my final five at the moment (mainly for the rave early reactions and Babylon‘s positioning as one of our biggest Best Picture contenders), but I could absolutely see a scenario where Pitt makes a few precursors and then is “shockingly” snubbed at the Oscars, or perhaps his campaign never takes off at all. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Other odds and ends this week include:

  • Even though Bros bombed at the box office, I still added it to my Best Original Screenplay longlist this week. Why? Well, its financial failure doesn’t negative its rave critical reactions, and if anything, there could be an urgency to “save” the film after it stumbled as a show of support for Billy Eichner and co. and what the movie represents. Additionally, I do think there’s a path for the film to nab a WGA nom (as other Judd Apatow productions like The 40-Year-Old VirginKnocked Up, and Trainwreck have), especially with competitors like Martin McDonagh and Ruben Östlund ineligible there, which opens up a spot alongside the likes of Everything Everywhere All at OnceThe FabelmansTÁR, and Babylon. If Bros gets that nom, it’ll should be taken very seriously as an Oscar contender in the category.
  • Antoine Fuqua’s Emancipation debuted its first poster and trailer this week – alongside an announcement of its new December release date – throwing not just the film and Fuqua in the Best Picture and Best Director races respectively, but also “disgraced” lead star Will Smith in the Best Actor race. I highly doubt the Academy is in any place to “forgive” Smith since it’s been less than a year since he slapped Chris Rock on the stage of the Dolby Theatre (a recent Hollywood Reporter piece confirms as much), but I have still added him as my tenth contender in my Best Actor predictions. In any other year, he’d be a prominent player in the race – he just won last year, this is an extremely baity and challenging role, etc. – but that controversy will continue to weigh on him.
  • I’ve been moving Top Gun: Maverick up my Best Picture predictions all season, and after a few weeks, it’s finally cracked my top five. Simply put, it just checks so many boxes, and almost everyone absolutely adores it. It helps that quite a few of the supposed “big” contenders of the season have fallen flat after middling fall festival premieres, but the film also has so much going for it on its own as well. It’ll be a huge tech player (contending for the win in Best Film Editing and Best Sound, along with Best Original Song) and, because the Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay fields are so weak this year, star Tom Cruise and writers Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie will all undoubtedly show up at quite a few precursors, elevating their places in these Oscar races (and I wouldn’t count out director Joseph Kosinski at DGA either). The sky’s the limit for Top Gun: Maverick, and this may not be the last time it rises in my Best Picture rankings too.
