Voting closes about midnight Friday night Eastern Time. The awards are set to be announced in the morning of Saturday, Sept. 18.
September 16, 2021 at 1:24 am #1204462765My point stands still that TPOTD and Belfast are the only locks at this point for Picture.
Only Campion locked for Nomination on Best Director. Larrain has very strong chances, though.
FYC:
Best Director: Edgar Wright, Guillermo Del Toro, Jane Campion
Best Picture: Nightmare Alley, The Power of the Dog
Best Actress: Kristen Stewart, Thomasin McKenzie, Rooney Mara, Tessa Thompson
Best Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch, Bradley Cooper
Best S. Actress: Cate Blanchett, Diana Rigg, Anya Taylor Joy
Best S. Actor: Kodi Smit McPhee, Willem Dafoe, Richard JenkinsSeptember 16, 2021 at 1:54 am #1204462774And here’s King Richard, further looking to lock several major nominations (and a potential BP win alongside Will Smith‘s potential best actor triumph? Possibly). Plus Smith is a credited producer on the film (“labor of love”), and I’m not sleeping on the potential for Reinaldo Marcus Green to score a BD nom at DGA and the Oscars. No one should be, tbh. Will Smith’s ‘King Richard’ to Close AFI Film Festival
DGA maybe. The Oscars? Absolutely NOT.
September 16, 2021 at 2:26 am #1204462809So Dune is good! Definitely getting nominated for Picture, Director might come along if it gets all the techies. The world building is certainly more interesting than the story itself but it wouldn’t be the first time a movie like that got into Best Picture.

September 16, 2021 at 2:27 am #1204462814I think Reinaldo Marcus Green would be ineligible at DGA like all the day-and-date releases unless they change the rules again.

Yeah not buying the BP win and the Director nom. I think only Smith could win but even so I have doubts considering BAFTA might go for Cumberbatch.

My thinking: It appears quite possible that Smith would defeat a BAFTA-winning Cumberbatch the way Jeff Bridges beat a BAFTA-winning Colin Firth. And I expect King Richard to rack up more Oscar nominations than Crazy Heart did.

Am I the only one who thinks Mass is so not happening? Like I know it will be a great film with great performances, but I just don’t think anyone will care. And it has a terrible distributor. Remember how last year everyone thought Stanley Tucci was going to get in for Best Supporting Actor until he didn’t. Yeah exactly. Highest it will land some critics choice nominations in my opinion.

Colin Firth wasn’t in a British movie and Best Picture contender.

And Jeff Bridges was in an American movie that wasn’t a Best Picture contender.
And Will Smith is in an American movie that will be a Best Picture contender.
British AMPAS voting members may have a lot of influence, but American AMPAS voting members have a lot more influence.
Advantage (still): Smith

I was responding to the comparison of Will Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch and Jeff Bridges and Colin Firth at the BAFTAs that year but I misread your post and thought you were referring to the BAFTA race and not thee Oscar one.
My bad!

So much for The Power of the Dog being inaccessible.

Not the ‘inaccessible’ and ‘slow’ one dominating Telluride
