I’m personally not going to predict it. 3 sequels? Nah. I’m not buying 3 sequels getting in and we already have 2 likely guaranteed with TGM and AWOW. If I were going to include Glass Onion, it would be for that 10th spot, and I’m not willing to let go of The Woman King there. I will go down with that sinking ship until the very end that TWK is making it in.
I wouldn’t call Glass Onion a “sequel” per se. I see it more as a stand alone film. It doesn’t follow any of the storylines from the first Knives Out. It’s a new story. A new mystery.
Nah fabelmans isn’t winning screenplay it won’t be able to win wga or BAFTA and globes will go with banshees in screenplay
We said the same thing about Three Billboards and yet here we are now.
I feel Top Gun has a good chance to win Best Picture
Las Vegas nominating The Whale for Picture and Director
"EGOT" and "Triple Crown of Acting" winner: VIOLA DAVIS!!!!

Well three billboards won the globe
As much as I’m not a big fan of Top Gun, after the quietness of the past couple BP winners, I’m all for bombast and maximalism making their way to BP contention. RRR, TG, Avatar, EEAO, even Glass Onion throwing everything but the kitchen sink. We’ll see about Babylon…
I think Babylon and Chazelle still get in despite not getting on the AFI or NBR list
Cameron
Spielberg
Daniels
Chazelle
McDongah
in the last 9 years at least one movie that was in both AFI and NBR got snubbed in oscars. So possibly this year will happen the same between avatar 2, the woman king, women talking, fabelmans, EEAO and top gun maverick

It’s still a franchise installment though.
The Oscars need to preserve the distinction between “cinema” and “television”. One way they do this is by being incredibly selective of the sequels they include in Best Picture.
Anything remotely serialized is going to rub a significant amount of Academy members the wrong way. Why do you think they have such a negative attitude towards Marvel movies?
With Netflix backing, Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig could theoretically keep making Knives Out Mysteries until the end of their careers if they wanted.
Top Gun, Avatar and Glass Onion all getting in would be unprecedented for sequels, wouldn’t it? Genuinely asking.
Hope it happens tho, if all 3 are acclaimed, liked and did everything right, why not?FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!

I mean, we had four remakes in Best Picture last year. I don’t think it’ll happen, but impossible it is not.
For Your Consideration:

I have been thinking this for a while. I feel like Top Gun winning Best Picture would be the industry’s way of giving Tom Cruise a lifetime achievement award.

Or probably Academy making their own award so that a blockbuster won’t win.
Darling, what an extremely weak year if picture comes down to that.
Or probably Academy making their own award so that a blockbuster won’t win.
Isn’t that the whole point of the fan favorite award?
So popular films like Top Gun, Avatar, Glass Onion, and Black Panther can compete against each other at the ceremony while the arthouse films, historical films, period pieces, and contemporary dramas get the advertising they need from a Best Picture nomination that justifies their existence in the market?
