2022 OSCARS PREDICTIONS
BEST PICTURE
UPDATED: March 10, 20,22
AWARDS PREDICTIONS COMMENTARYThe Directors Guild of America, Critics Choice (CCA), and BAFTA Awards will be held this weekend. This could offer a significant upswing for any of these top-tier candidates.
Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog”She is expected to do the best of all films and will be eligible to take home the top prize at all three ceremonies. Jane Campion should also take home the director’s award at all three ceremonies and has remained the one assured place for western to find recognition. The pathway to the best picture statuette will rely heavily on Campion walking away with directing, so it can’t afford to create any doubt.
Focus Features’ “Belfast”The picture has not performed well at the televised ceremonies. However, all hopes of it winning best movie hinged on the performance on the preferential vote. At the same time, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) awards don’t occur until March 19, two days after final Oscar voting opens. So its window is closing, but walking away with BAFTA prizes for picture and original screenplay will surely help its cause if it’s able to do it.
The SAG Awards have indicated a seismic shift in the season, with Siân Heder’s “CODA”Cast ensemble won the top prize. The three major awards will be presented this weekend. “CODA” can only assert itself at CCA because it’s not nominated for best film at BAFTA. If it can defeat Campion, it can still make noise by winning Troy Kotsur or adapted screenplay. “CODA” doesn’t seem like the type of movie that would have mass appeal to international voters. That’s to say, it is not a movie that would appeal to international audiences. “CODA”It is possible to win Oscar night. This would be an understatement. Since the guild started awarding awards, this would be only the second time that a film has won without a DGA nominated. The first was “Driving Miss Daisy” (1989). In addition, it would be the first film since “Million Dollar Baby”(2004) to win the best film award without a BAFTA nomin, which was only possible because Clint Eastwood’s film opened later in Britain.
Warner Bros’ “King Richard” does have a bubbling surge with Pamela Martin winning the ACE Eddie prize and Aunjanue Ellis’ star rising in the last few days while there are believers in 20th Century Studios’ “West Side Story,”This film was recently added to Disney Plus. Is it possible that one of these films has a rush towards the goal?
The following lists the latest rankings of all 10 nominated features.
