Best Picture Predictions - For Your Consideration 

FYC is back love it! Thank you so much Perri for hosting this on your channel.

Oppenheimer’s ending and score stick out so much for me. Hope it gets all the nominations and some wins! Still my number 1 film of the year so far.

I was so worried this show was canceled because y’all took a long hiatus. Thank goodness you didn’t. This show cures my depression.

These are my Best Picture predictions as of now: 1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. Oppenheimer 3. Barbie 4. Past Lives 5. The Holdovers 6. Poor Things 7. Maestro 8. Air 9. American Fiction 10. The Color Purple Honorable Mentions: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Bikeriders, Ferrari, Napoleon, Saltburn, Anatomy of a Fall, Nyad One film I’m waiting to hear reaction to is The Iron Claw from A24.

Great to have the big 3 back! I find myself agreeing with Jeff about Oppenheimer. Nolan has a better chance at director than best picture.

I’m rooting for Oppenheimer to win!!! That movie was absolutely amazing!

Great to see you all again and y'all are going to be on leading up to the awards shows. Thanks for hosting Perri on your channel.

Thank y’all for making my day and my awards season. So much love to y’all.

Love the 3 of you guys!!! Thanks for keeping the FYC series!!!

i didnt know yall were still making content. i miss the old Collider crew! the Oscars is over but im gonna rewatch these!

I was left emotionally-struck about human’s ability to destroy after experiencing Oppenheimer. After viewing Interstellar, I cried for about 15 minutes solid while reflecting on my children and fatherhood. The Nolan criticism that his films are emotional cold is so 2010.

FYC is back! Finally I can feel hopeful for Hollywood’s future again! Thank you, Scott, Jeff, and Perri! 🙌🏾

The best movie awards coverage on the internet! Thanks Guys!

love this time of year having you 3 all back!

So glad to have you all back passionately discussing film!

Yay! Glad to see you three back together!

I was missing your videos! Glad there won't be more breaks 'till March 10th.

Yessss , it's the best time of the year!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Ugh wish horror was more accepted in awards conversations, I really feel Talk To Me really did things fresh and poignant but alas one year

missed you guys SO much - welcome back FYC!!!

Missed you guys! So many movies to catch up on!

Oh hey was just thinking there hasn't been a new ep in a minute!

Yayyyyy you’re back!!! Love you guys. You’ve basically got my top 10 except I’m not ready to give up on Spider-verse just yet.

So happy FYC has a home here (amongst all of Perri's great videos). The three of you gel so well together.

I feel like this is the most I've seen Jeff and Perri agree lol (apart from Zone of Interest 😂)

Watching Perri's facial reactions is pure gold. Mostly because I generally have the same facial reactions, especially to a lot of what Jeff says LOL but truly love watching you guys, glad that you're back!

I think Mantz cursed more in this episode than in the entirety of FYC 😅 Great episode as always! Love that you guys are back 🎉 (and I’ll say to Jeff’s point about Oppenheimer and big movies, nobody expected it to almost crack a billion - the fact it became so big is worthy of attention. It’s not just another big movie)

Do you guys see Napoleon having a chance?

Yeah, the TIFF People's Choice winner has been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars 11 years in a row, and 14 of the past 15 years. 5 of those won Best Picture. And in the past 10 years, 10 additional films that placed 2nd/3rd have also been nominated for Best Picture, with 3 of those winning Best Picture.

My most anticipated category I want you guys to talk about is the best song category and hear you have fun talking about this wild category. Will my prediction come true???

Great to see you back!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Poor Things is going to be a strong contender and probably have the momentum. It will peak at the right time.

Does anyone know what happened?

Welcome back!!

Love another season of everyone's favorite show. You three have a perfect dynamic.

I love F.Y.C. , it's great that you guys are back! We love you, Perri!

I saw you at TIFF, Perri but never got a chance to speak to you. I also didn't get to see a lot of contenders at TIFF, but Origin was my absolute favorite. Not sure if it'll get in Best Picture though.

Did Peri name two films at number six? I heard her say she had Killers of the Flowered Moon and Maestro as number six. What was her number seven?

My Best Picture predictions (as of now) Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer Maestro Barbie The Holdovers Poor Things American Fiction Saltburn Past Lives The Zone of Interest

Y’all forget about Anatomy of a Fall. I heard really good things about that film.

Chris Tucker in AIR would be my lone nomination from that film if I had my way. He’s so good in that.

Here we go! I'm all set to campaign for *ALL OF US STRANGERS* this awards season.

I was JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL YESTERDAY!!!! I MISSED y’all so much! We are BACK BABY

How the heck do you guys not have anatomy of a fall in your top 10

I'm seeing Killers of the Flower Moon on Thursday and I can't wait because it's my most anticipated film of the year. and I'm seeing Nyad on tuesday

They are back!!

I would be shocked if Nyad got into Best Picture.

"The air is thin up there" - so happy to see the 3 best in the business back here on youtube

Aww yeah its back!!! THNX!!!

I’m surprised nobody mentioned May December. That movie looks incredible. Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, Todd Haynes, and everyone seems to be raving about Charles Melton.

1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. Oppenheimer 3. Past Lives 4. Priscilla 5. Poor Things 6. Anatomy of a Fall 7. Maestro 8. Barbie 9. All of Us Strangers 10. American Fiction

Perri’s face when Jeff was obliterating Zone of Interest 😅

Great discussion, I would just like to point out that the Academy has a lot of international members now, so at least one slot would go to a non-English film, maybe Anatomy of a Fall

My current GoldDerby predictions (as of 23.10): 10. Air 9. Bob Marley: One Love 8. The Color Purple 7. Barbie 6. Past Lives 5. Anatomy of a Fall 4. Poor Things 3. The Holdovers 2. Killers of the Flower Moon 1. Oppenheimer My top 7 are all pretty much locks in my mind. I find it inexplicable and baffling that the prediction community completely abandoned the Bob Marley movie, they're gonna give it a qualifying release for sure. As for the movies outside this list, American Fiction is my 11 easily, and it is what I'll put in for Best Picture and Best Actor in case the Bob Marley movie does gets taken off the slate. I think Maestro has no chance of getting nominations above the line, and it'll be content getting anything more than the seemingly inevitable Makeup & Hairstyling nomination. The Zone of Interest on the other hand, has no chances whatsoever of getting any nomination in any category besides International Film if it qualifies with that category's parameters (which I'm still not sure about). This leaves Anatomy of a Fall being the clear international above the line hit this year. When it comes to other movies that have a shot at Best Picture, it's actually not a lot of them. May December can become a thing once Netflix realises Maestro is dead in the water, but I'm not betting on it. I don't feel like the Academy has the balls to do the right thing and nominate Across the Spider Verse and John Wick: Chapter 4 like they should. Nyad is not a thing besides Jodie Foster, sorry to break it to you. Same for Rustin and Colman Domingo. Napoleon is The Last Duel all over again. The Killer and Saltburn aren't gonna sniff an above the line nomination. I'm not feeling All of Us Strangers. Really the more I'm looking at the field, the more I'm becoming confident in my faith in the Bob Marley movie.

Surprised that no one mentioned Fincher’s new movie “The Killer”, even as an honourable mention. I’m so so excited for that film!

Let’s gooooooooo!!!!!!

I've heard quite a few people who've seen that don't think American fiction is that strong a contender for picture and even think it misses. I also don't think Netflix gets both maestro and nyad. Sing Sing, I've heard is next year.

YAY fave Oscar trio!

A movie that has to be nominated for best picture is John Wick 4. An acting performance that must be nominated and is frontrunner is Joaquin Phoenix in Beau is Afraid. Plus Blackberry for picture, screenplay, acting and support acting. My money will be on Blackberry to win the Best Picture. It will be Blackberry versus KOFM. For best actor let us see if Murphy and Leonardo can challenge Phoenix. I am hoping Nic Cage gets nominated for Renfield. Best supporting actor. As William Dafeo for Inside. Best actor.

I watched The Great Escaper with Michael Caine yesterday, unlikely best picture nom but Micheal and Glenda Jackson could be outside bets for acting nominations they were both wonderful in the movie

I don't get why Barbie is so high up like an actual contender. No doubt the movie is getting BP nomination but I feel like this is just a "it-is-there" kind of BP nomination like Black panther, Avatar 2 without directing and screenplay nomination.

10:41 Holy shit Jeff! Something small and more personal? You are so close to saying Monica! The trans community so deeply deserves our seat at the table and this is the film that will do it!

Of course I haven't seen the festival films yet but my top 3 movies are 1. Oppenheimer 2. Air 3. Across the spider-verse

You go Mantz! Air is an awesome movie that surprised me. Great pick at 9. My honorable mention along those same lines is Blackberry. Especially Glenn Howertons performance. He deserves a supporting actor nom in my estimation. Super happy to see the triumphant return of FYC!

FYI the Emmys are January 15, 2024. Gonna be a busy winter, award show-wise.

Who is Lonnie?

YEA

Not even a mention for Fincher?

Yay!

What did Jeff mean bring nothing to the table? I was one person that got nothing from Past Lives, so I am not sure what to make of that comment.

Now where tf yall been? I been waiting…😂

A new FYC? Wow, what a fun day.

What about "Boy and the Heron"? "UP" and "Beauty and the Beast" both received best picture nominations...

i freaking love this show

5:14 calling Oppenheimer "cold" is WILD 😂

Interesting to hear the discussion between people who have seen more of the “awards films” than me. My current prediction would be: Oppenheimer Killers of the Flower Moon Poor Things The Holdovers Maestro Barbie Past Lives (My favorite) Anatomy of a Fall American Fiction Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (My Prayer) Honourable Mentions: The Zone of Interest The Color Purple May December

I truly believe Barbie is this year’s Top Gun Maverick. Being a blockbuster feels like a disadvantage for winning the Oscars or getting many big nominations. I do think Barbie is a better movie than TGM in general (TGM was so generic and predictable), but Barbie does have scenes of clear corporate meddling that show its purpose as a commercial, and I do think that hurts it a lot in award consideration. There are great moments. I honestly in general would not be upset with it getting a director nomination. The problem is most lists have Gerwig competing with Song for the last spot (Scorsese, Nolan, Lanthimos, and Triet seem smart bets, though I’m a little dubious of Triet after Anatomy was not selected for foreign language) and Song deserves (and needs) it so much more.

The Zone of Interest is amazing. It has basically no plot and I was ravished and everyone I talked to as well.

Take in mind that Past Lives didn’t release theatrically worldwide, im still hoping it will release in the future in Mexico (‘:

Ive just seen the Great escaper With michael kane and glenda jackson to acters i think will be getting oscar nominations

Best picture Poor things Oppenheimer Killers of flower moon Napoleon May/December All of us strangers

Hope Across The Spider-Verse, Dead Reckoning Part I And Oppenheimer get Oscar Nominations For Picture.

Look out for Poor Things and Saltburn

Excersist beliver was not bad they probably could have went in a different direction but i loved the theme music and nods to the original 😘

Oppenheimer was the best movie I saw this year, Just give Cillian Murphy the Best Actor statue now.

Animation needs its own awards show. It is just so different to compare voice acting, sound design, and cinematography. It is a different medium and they need to embrace that and build up their own major award show.

woohoo!

No Anatomy of a Fall...interesting. The Dark Horse...The Iron Claw

Oppenheimer is the logical number one when it comes to guaranteed nomination. Barbie and KOTFM are close 2nd.

Y’all should know by now that at least one international film will make it, and nowadays, maybe two.

Oppenheimer is not touchy-feely by any means, but it's certainly not "cold". It does engage with the human cores of its characters, just not in a rousing or heartwarming way. I'm not ruling out the possibility Oppenheimer's campaign can run into a pitfall down the line, but this certainly ain't it IMO.

❤❤❤

We are wanting for golden globes

I don’t think Air makes it into Best Picture and the only nomination Past Lives gets is for Screenplay. And no mention here for The Iron Claw? I have a feeling that one will connect emotionally with the audience (if not with all the critics) and make the cut. And Coleman Domingo winning over Cooper or DiCaprio? I don’t think so.

Love your top ten. However, I'll switch Nyad with Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse, for now.

Jeff is crazy. Oppenheimer is winning full stop. It is by far the best film of the year.

Having faith in Poor Things since before it blew up and having at GoldDerby at 60/1 odds for Best Picture and 70/1 for Best Director is my greatest Sigma Oscar Predictor Grindset

Anatomy of a Fall is an easy top 8 contender not sure how yall missed it, and Barbie is definitely not top 5. Will be interesting to see how Poor Things pans out after more people see it!

I like the list but how do you not talk about Napoleon as at least a contender with Joaquin Phoenix starring and Ridley Scott directing.

Where's Japan's Monster? It's gaining momentum.

omg im so happy, collider dailoes and now this?!!
