The first precursors will be going out in just over a month, which means our predictions are becoming more and more solid. Although there’s still a lot of disagreement until the critics start weighing in, most of the categories differ only slightly. That is except Supporting Actress, which seems to be all over the place still.

Below are our predictions for October adding in the Film Editing award predictions as well.

Introductions

Wesley Lovell: Apart from ditching films like The Goldfinch and Gemini Man, I haven’t had a lot of changes of heart so far, so my predictions are largely the same.
Peter J. Patrick: The toughest categories to whittle down to size at this point are Best Actor and Supporting Actor, both of which have six major contenders, the five I listed in each plus Joaquin Phoenix in Joker for Actor and Joe Pesci in The Irishman for Supporting Actor. While none of the categories are reasonably certain yet, the toughest to fill is Supporting Actress which remains incredibly weak.
Tripp Burton: Not a whole lot of change from last month to this, as we wait on audience reactions in the next month to start whittling out more contenders. Still, I don’t think Joker or Jojo Rabbit will hold up with voters as well as everyone else does.
Thomas LaTourette: This time I just have minor tweaks to my predictions, with at most one change per category. Not as many movies have opened in the past month, and some spots are now solidifying. As always there is lots of second guessing. Probably the category I wonder about most is Animated Feature. None of the films I have seen this year have blown me away, and several have disappointed. This makes me wonder about the upcoming films and whether they will win out over the series of sequels that are out. It may take a while for the independent films to finally open in Denver, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
