Early Oscar Predictions: Are There Any Frontrunners Yet? - For Your Consideration

[@philabramson4873]

Dune 2 is 100% getting a best picture nomination. I share Jeff’s surprise that Scott and Perri are even doubting this.

[@ahmedfarid-cd1mb]

and its the best movie this year by far but i know it Won't win because the academy is terrible

[@ktom5262]

Dune 2 is overrated crap. The worst Villeneuve's movie so far.

[@jawsh6044]

Yeah it's still at the top of almost every list. I don't get the notion that people have "moved on".

[@juliuswyatt8895]

Dune part 2 is a lock. There is no way it doesn’t make it.

[@encheknizam]

I agree. Dune 2 should win Best Picture.

[@BandàpartVideos]

Dune 2 is a lock to be a best picture nomination

[@latissimusdomsi]

The Brutalist not on the radar yet? Feels like the hype is building every week

[@davidfilmexpert]

The Brutalist is for sure going to be a heavy Oscar contender based on that it's Focus Features and it's about a holocaust survivor played by Adrien Brody.

[@JKReAl]

It surely is a thing but these trio, specially Jeff with his lack of professionalism, are simply clueless Brutalist, Conclave, Nickel boys are so strong for nominations

[@cinemadrunk13]

Loved seeing the crew back so soon! But Jeff is so right about Dune 2. I can't really believe how Perri and Mantz are lukewarm on Dune 2 getting BP nom. The movie is one of the most acclaimed sci fi movies of all time, and gone are the times when a movie like Dune 2 does not get in. Personally, Dune 2 and Oppenheimer are one of the best movies of the decade, and even if I take my personal opinions out, I think there are a lot of people who think Dune 2 is monumental, and I don't think people will forget that theatrical experience. Would love to come back to this video in 3-4 months and see how Dune 2 fared. I will back Dune 2 for both BP and BD noms

[@kommandantklink5032]

Jeff is so right about Dune Two.

[@reidforman3428]

There is no world in which Dune 2 misses a best picture nomination. It is by far the technical achievement of the year

[@ikexbankai]

WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mathieugagnon7739]

By the way, Nolan called Dune: Part 2 Villeneuve’s Empire Strikes Back. Which make it even more bizarre that two out of three of you guys think it is not a lock for BP. We will see… It also depends on how well Gladiator 2 and Joker 2 are recieved. They are all three in competition for those blockbuster slots in the BP lineup.

[@misplacedmodifier46]

Great to have you back and at 78 thankful to be sitting here watching - cheers until the next episode

[@Jorbo23]

LOVE the color coordination - missed you guys!!

[@mothmanmedia8511]

Woahhh this just made me realize how fast the year has gone! But couldn’t be more excited for Oscar predicts.

[@victorspell1]

Great to see you guys again. I think this year's Oscar season maybe a little difficult for nominations. Feels like anyone can really pull it off this year.

[@leor7800]

Missed you for the Emmys! Glad to see you back for the Oscars

[@aubs6262]

I was literally thinking about this show yesterday wondering if there would be a new season! So glad yall are back!

[@MagnitudeReviews]

Dune 2 is absolutely a lock for a Best Picture nomination. Why is there even a debate that it wont land one?

[@kommandantklink5032]

My favorite part of Perri's channel is back!

[@aidanmchutchison567]

Sight unseen, I have; 1) Dune: Part Two 2) Sing Sing 3) Anora 4) Blitz 5) Conclave 6) Nickel Boys 7) Joker: Folie Á Deux 8) Gladiator II 9) Emilia Perez 10) A Complete Unknown I recognise the Academy ain’t gonna nominated more than two sequels so between Joker & Gladiator one of those has to go, so maybe something like Queer or Saturday Night could sneak in there

[@angelosorioparra6542]

Love the new cameras though HAJAJAJAJAJA It's great to see you guys back 🫶 So excited for this new season to begin ❤

[@carloscastanoangulo3702]

Dune 2 is still the best picture to come out this year.

[@jjfragglerock5020]

There’s going to be several big movies nominated, I can’t see Dune 2 not being one of them. Easiest prediction in the world.

[@ashpie296]

Not anymore when you look at what I coming out of the festival's it can easily miss.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

@@ashpie296 “it can easily miss” in what world does a movie (sequel to a best picture nominee) get a nomination in *every* tech category and miss best picture in a world of 10 nominees?

I've watched some FYC episodes in the past years, but I'm excited to be joining in the beginning for this new FYC Oscar year. 🙌

[@PerriNemiroff]

Psyched to have you for the full season!

[@brucecrawford_17]

Aw, thank you, Perri. That means a lot to me. I’m psyched as well. p.s. I loved seeing you on the theater screen over the years, and I enjoy your film reviews. Much love and respect to you.

[@craigbarr2003]

It doesn't have the right distribution to be in play, but if any film deserves a Best Picture nom and a lead acting nom, it's GHOSTLIGHT

[@weslandia2001]

"Looks wicked bad" from Jeff re: Wicked got a big laugh from me as a New Englander. Pumped that you guys are back!

[@zackabdulbaki879]

Yaaaaaay!!! I've missed the show! Excited for this coming awards season

[@tonyb7560]

the takes on Joker 2 aged like milk. Comparing it to potentially be as good a sequel than Empire strikes back? ooooft.

[@nicelyfaithful]

Dune 2, Joker: Folie à Deux, Anora, and Emilia Pérez, are my only nomination predictions for Best Picture I have at this time. Heck if things keep on Inside Out 2 might get a chance. (My List for Films This Year That Will Get Forgotten this Season): Ghostlight, Problemista, Didi, and THELMA! Personally the performances this year are gonna be wayyy more of a challenge to put into predictions. It's been insane this year, but thats a conversation for another day.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

Even if you argue that Dune Part II isn't going to win Best Picture, there's no chance it makes it into pretty much every single tech category and misses a Best Picture nomination. Zero chance.

[@rishishukla8581]

Thanks for getting to Saturday Night Jeff; I think that's one to watch for sure.

[@MaD-gs9qx]

So glad to see all of you!

[@sand4273]

Haven’t seen everything possible yet since I don’t go to festivals or anything like that, but I’d love to see Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin recognized for Sing Sing as well as Joan Chen for Didi.

[@davidfilmexpert]

That's not going to happen because those films just too small. A24 that released Sing Sing is going to push Daniel Craig for Queer and Focus Features that released Dìdi is going to make Conclave their main priority.

[@JGCarse]

Been following since the first fyc , seeing news eps always brings a smile to my face and make the day 10x better

[@AH86ac]

I agree with Jeff, Dune Part 2 will get the nomination for Best Picture. That film is so great and better than the Part 1.

Awesome Stream Absolutely loved your predictions

[@myytchanneldinakoha8498]

Perri is high in her Wicked bubble, but only theatre nerds care about this show. And yes, they are hiding the fact it’s a musical, like they did with The Color Purple, Mean Girls et al.

[@Itsalwayscloudyincleveland]

I think Dune 2 is definitely getting picture. Its been such a weak year thus far, with not that many on the horizon generating much buzz. Dune 2 has remained in the general discourse this year

[@teamrainbow7674]

Dune 2 is certainly getting nominated, 2024 does not seem to be close to as stacked as 2023 and part 2 was a massive improvement on the first one

[@aaronjanlistanco]

my Oscars 2025 early predictions for the Best Picture are top 10: Dìdi Anora Conclave Sing Sing Emilia Pérez Nosferatu Dune: Part Two A Complete Unknown Queer Blitz next-in-line: The Piano Lesson Nickel Boys The Brutalist The Seed Of Sacred Fig Megalopolis The Outrun Wild Robot The Room Next Door Maria A Real Pain Nightbitch Civil War Joker: Folie À Deux Saturday Night Babygirl Inside Out 2 Flow Wicked Gladiator 2 Monkey Man Challengers Hit Man Deadpool And Wolverine

[@sebastiano728]

Perri spending 45 minutes saying she’s not ready to make a prediction is my idea of great content! So glad the show is back, but come on Perri, don’t be afraid to be wrong, it’s part of the fun of an early prediction show!

SO glad to see FYC back! 😊 Although I did sense some reticence on Perri's part. 🙁 Sure, it is still early to prognosticate on what may be Oscar bait, it still should be fun to imagine! Who cares if one has not seen any of the possible movies yet! It's all about talking about movies and awards and possibilities. Who cares if one is correct or not.

[@ShoeDog-12345]

I wish Furiosa was a contender 😓 my fav movie of the year

[@isaacarthur8523]

Sad that neither “Civil War” or “Challengers” are in consideration at this point - that was my Barbenheimer this year!

The sound work in Civil War is extraordinary and show should be nominated.

[@adamjimenez9003]

I 100% buy in to Sneider's Nosferatu nom, (btw, The Lighthouse is Oscar nominated) but not only does this feel like it has wider appeal, but it has the film pedigree from all the other Nosferatu adaptations before it going back to the silent era, I buy it.

[@travisearl771]

Both Nosferatu 22/78 are high in my top ten greatest horror films ever made. I suspect 24 will be the same.

[@pb.j.1753]

El Conde, a vampire film, also got a cinematography nomination last year. Nosferatu might get 1-2 tech things but not more

[@travisearl771]

@@pb.j.1753 Hell son, Willem Dafoe ALREADY has an acting nomination for his turn as Orlock/Max Shrek in 2000's Shadow of the Vampire. It's entirely plausible a movie based on Nosferatu gets acting noms... since its happened already.

[@michaelmasselli2869]

Any chance for anything for Fresh Kills? It’s my favorite movie of the year but extremely small Odessa A’Zion, Jennifer Esposito, and Emily Bader are all excellent in it

[@GA-1st]

Kudos to Perri for mentioning the best film of the year I"ve seen thus far: "Strange Darling"! A great film that deserves recognition.

[@DavidPence-lr4kj]

Yes! Blown Away by it, seen it twice now. Amazing film.

[@DavidN369]

SO good to have FYC back. Have missed it. Am also not convinced that "Dune 2" is out of BP contention, it's the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy all over again, and unless "Wicked Part !" tanks, it's a safe bet for all the reasons Perri brought up. As ever, you three are SO darned entertaining. Let the games begin.

Dune part 2 is lock for a Best Picture Nomination for me.

I don't know why people are doubt Dune 2's chances at the moment. Is still just end of August. Obviously the studio will mount a campaign to bring back awareness of the movie. I doubt it will win but it will be in the nominees for sure.

[@lawaraya]

I think Dune 2 can still win, as the year ends people will just come back to the big film with craft and cast and critic and commercial hit

[@batsaubattler3200]

Also Nosferatu is a classic cinema esque film I think it has a stronger shot of getting in then ppl realize especially knowing eggers body of work I think people will nominate the film in a bunch of stuff. Idk about directing and writing but a best picture nomination in the year where any year could get 10 I think they'll want to celebrate the anniversary of the film and all it did for cinema given its reputation.that proceeds it
