Best Picture Predictions Revisited - For Your Consideration 

The fact that there were so many disagreements on this episode goes to show how much parity there is amongst the films this year. There are locks, but those last few spots could go in a number of directions! Excited to see the Best Directors revisited because that's another wacky category.

“No Jeff” - Perri 😂😂

You guys are underestimating RRR. It's literally getting nominations everywhere since last couple weeks. 5 CCA nominations being the latest. Also made it to top 10 films of the year in NBR.

Triangle of Sadness doesn't even get thrown out as a possibility? I don't understand how Jeff can be so dismissive of other people's suggestions when he still has Empire of Light on his list for Best Picture. Bruh.

Sneider is SO ON TARGET He gets it He feels it Fun to revisit! Glad so many others respect & enjoy what Perri, Mantz & Sneider bring to the table

Wow - how could you miss "AFTERSUN"? Everyone who sees it is touched by it, moved by it, and it is beginning to get award nominations so richly deserved. I predict that "AFTERSUN" will be included in the Best Picture category! 1

Guys we need live shows, we need to engage with the talk

RRR made it to Best Picture nomination in NBR and CCA!! & The director won NYFCC & runner up in LAFCA. Also nominated in CCA, Saturn and HCA. I think we should not underestimate this movie

Seeing you three together is my favorite part of every awards season, and I look forward to it every year. Thank you guys for making these videos. Babylon is currently at 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, almost the exact same score as The Whale's 68%. I agree that there isn't a 1-to-1 comparison between critics and Academy voters, but it shows that Babylon is divisive. For now, I think both Glass Onion and The Woman King are in, with Babylon out. It makes my day when I see a new video from you all. Looking forward to more!

Jeff is always so wrong. His blindspots are astounding

Best awards show ever. FYC is the reason I get excited for awards season every year. Thank you Scott, Jeff, and Perri ❤️

We see people having great time watching RRR across the world.. As an Indians we are so proud of love and appreciation getting for the film.. With the minimal budgets to pull off the things you need to have lot of out of box thinking.. I wish RRR gets many nominations for Oscars..don't underestimate RRR

I NEED TO SEE MANTZ CALENDAR 😂😂 how does he have so much time to watch movies. How many hours do you sleep? I need to know lol LOVE THIS SHOW

12:25 LOL I felt that. TAR is a great movie but one watch was enough 😂

I think The Woman King and Glass Onion both make the list. I think Elvis may be the movie that gets left out. Tom Hank's controversial performance lowered the movie's overall quality in the eyes of many folks.

Rooting for Top Gun. Assume something else will win.

From the bottom, middle, and top of my heart; thank you for delivering these awesome reviews! Since first discovering your videos, I have been gleefully anticipating your next release. ❤ to the Oscar of trios!

Love you three! FYC always makes my Friday better!

18:59 I feel the same way, Avatar: WoW's technological contribution plays a big role in its significance, same as Top Gun: Maverick. The Academy has recognized James Cameron's effort to constantly innovate the technology of cinema time and time again. His films have a total of 19 Oscar wins, mostly in technical crafts. Average film fans are unaware that this is the main reason a film like Citizen Kane is considered one of the most pivotal films in film history, for its technical transcendence and contribution to the art.

Thank you for continuing to do this show. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

"I think that when we look back in March at this season, we're all gonna kind of laugh that we actually thought Everything Everywhere had a chance"

Great episode! We definitely need another Best Picture predictions episode because I think a lot can happen between now and the ceremony. Thanks again, Jeff, Perri, and Scott! Awards season is always in full force with FYC 🙌🏾

I do wanna say the last few years there has been a foreign language film in best picture and director so I think we need to consider every year there will be one in there.

Great companion to my morning coffee 🎥☕️

Here are my predictions: 1. Top Gun: Maverick 2. Everything Everywhere 3. Fabelmans 4. Banshees 5. Avatar 6. Babylon 7. Elvis 8. Women Talking 9. Tar And for the ten, either: RRR Glass Onion Triangle of Sadness

With all due respect, Jeff seems very out of touch with this film year. Empire of Light?! "Not a strong year for film?!" Something no one's expecting like RRR? Put your ear to the ground sir. RRR has been the talk of this race for the past two weeks if not before that. Colman is EOL's only hope for an above the line nomination and even that seems to be fading. Finally, this is the strongest film year in quite some time. I am not trying to be insensitive I just feel a lot of his takes are just not what's in the ether right now...

Gotta agree with Jeff on the maturity level of EEAAO

Everything Everywhere All At Once and RRR are my two favourite movies of the year and I am so glad to see so many people responding positively too and getting behind those movies (baring Jeff's dismissal of RRR), seems likely that EEAO is likely to get a nomination and would be the one I'm rooting for the most, but hoping that RRR can pull off a Drive My Car and get a surprise nomination 🤞 but however it goes I just wanted to echo the sentiments of some of the other comments and say I love FYC and long may it continue 💙🤙

12:25 hahahah

Interesting conversation combing POV of both critics and box office. I agree with several of the films you listed, especially "Banshees" and "Tár". I'll probably make myself see "Top Gun" and "Avatar" though I have no desire to see them at this point.

A Man called Otto lmao come on Jeff 😅

@Jeff … what’s up with the mighty pose man!?!?! The highlight of the intro 😅

If Brendan Fraser still has a real shot at the Oscar, it will get in for best picture. If it’s snubbed, we can definitely predict the Oscar will be going to butler or Farrell

sorry Jeff but RRR is getting in, also i am pretty sure you are referring to john campea there lol.

Granted, EEAaO has some really silly things going on in it... but by then end ALL those silly things somehow contribute to the emotional core of the film... I think eve the older Academy members will see that... I think the boring choice would be the Fablemans (great film, just a boring, simple choice for best picture) I think Banshees is probably the RIGHT choice (Its gonna get 4 acting noms and I think Colin, Condin will win in their catagories) However, Everything, Everywhere all at Once would be the daring pick. It would be a huge step forward in accepting a certain kind of film making as REAL art and worth a damn

RRR got NBR. It was second foreign language film to ever be on the list behind Roma. Parasite and Drive my Car did not get in. So for that reason alone it’s firmly my number 8. I got Everything Everywhere, Fabelmans, Banshees, Top Gun Maverick, Tár, Women Talking, Elvis, RRR, Avatar 2, and The Woman King

Great Episode. I loved Thirteen Loves. Jeff is the man!

Top Gun never gone win. The Fabelmans, The Banshees of Inisherin are the real front runners. Everything Everywhere All at once is the possible 'Surprise' For me The Banshees is the best movie of the year. If we look 10 years from now to 2022 we will immediately think about this film.

i've put a cheeky fiver on Top Gun to win Best Picture

Best picture nominations Avatar the way of water The banshees of insherin The fableman Tar Everything is everywhere Knives out glass onion Top gun Maverick

Love FYC !! U three are awesome For me my best picture predictions Avatar the way of water Top Gun maverick The fablemans Banshees of inishernin Women talking Tar Everything everywhere all at once Triangle of sadness She said Elvis Have a great day !! To anyone seeing this 👋

I am sure rrr will get into your top 10 list soon, it's on the edge & we believe in it. Many many filmmakers, writers etc have talked great things about it. And the most important thing is people cannot Stop talking about this film just like everything everywhere all at once.

something is going to get that Nightmare Alley surprise last spot nomination im thinking white noise or bones and all gets in

I enjoy the predictions & the banter, just wish y'all would do a true critics video of what your choices are of best movies (and other categories) ignoring what is likely to win, but those that touch your heart.

I am a huge fan of Perri, Mantz, and Sneider: you 3 are lightning ahead of everyone else. I agree with Perri, Babylon is not warranted to be nominated for anything. I think this movie could edited down to 90 minutes for a decent movie, but it would be like an updated version of GEORGE CUKOR’s “What Price Hollywood”

Loved this show for years and still do!

My top ten (so far, I have not seen Decision to Leave, Till, Blonde, or most that have not released yet) 10. Women Talking (really well made, only weakness is I’m not sure what the cinematography added; I think I would like it more as an audio drama) 9. Nope (completely solid and fun, with some amazing shots and moments) 8. The Menu (I do worry about how many people agree with what the chef did, imo his acts of violence that he claims have meaning when they clearly don’t is part of the theme, but still a very fun script meticulously put together). 7. All Quiet on the Western Front (amazing war movie which really shows the humanity lost and partially lost due to war) 6. The Woman King (held back by a pg13 rating and some questionable historic accuracy, it was still a moving and powerful blockbuster with fun action; I just wish they hadn’t sanitized it so much so it could be genuinely great) 5. The Fabelmans (the scenes in the movie are half the story; what makes this movie meaningful is knowing that it was made by that kid, so it’s very existence is the ending of the story) 4. Tar (incredible character study of power and its impact on everyone around it; truly great) 3. The Northman (Eggers makes the movies that past societies would make if they had access to modern filmmaking; this glimpse into another time’s understanding of classic revenge is brilliant) 2. RRR (This is what cinema should be: fun and heartfelt, epic and intimate: genuinely a testament to what cinema can do) 1. Pearl (the most meaningful commentary on modern society, all the more meaningful because it shows that none of it is new; Mia Goth is a master of her craft and that her performance is being overlooked is criminal; other than Blanchett, nobody played such a complex character even close to as well this year) Most aren’t in the race, but that would be my top ten, with Pearl as my winner for how meaningful it is today.

I think GDT’s Pinocchio is swooping in that 10th spot

I really want Triangle of sadness to be somewhere. Either in top 10 or Dolly de leon because it was really good

The enthusiasm for EEAAO reminds me of the Parasite phenomenon three years ago. It's something you cannot define; it's just THERE. I think it's winning Best Picture .

I get down on my knees every day and pray to the movie gods that Everything Everywhere goes the distance.

Give TOP GUN all the awards .. A win for the audience

Sneider crushed my RRR hopes😭 original song is the only thing I'm realistically hope for at the moment

I think #10 is going to be RRR after all the critics nominations especially in best directing

My new 10 best picture predictions: Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Fabelmans, The Banshees of Inersherin, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, Women Talking, Avatar: The Way of Water, Babylon, Elvis, RRR

Glass Onion is phenomenal writing.

I honestly would rather have had you do CC and GG episodes instead of doing this all over again.

My updated list is currently: 1.The Fabelmans 2. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once 3. Banshees of Inisherin 4. Avatar: The Way of Water 5. Top Gun: Maverick 6. Tar 7. Women Talking 8. Babylon 9. Elvis 10. Woman King I realllllly need to see RRR. It also doesn't have a chance at getting in right now but I'd love to see Triangle of Sadness get a spot. I think it's really smart satire and felt more inventive than other films this year. Also, as a Brit, we don't need a British film to latch onto at every awards season. If we did, things like The Father or The Favourite would win best picture at the BAFTAs. Great show as always guys!

FYC is definitely the best. Love you guys.

You forgot to mention at least two other great films that are actually better and more deserving than The Woman King. I think Triangle of Sadness is nothing less than a masterpiece, and it should get in, and Aftersun is also a masterpiece, and really deservers to be nominated. I also think Pinocchio has a chance to get in. It's miraculous what Del Toro has done with a story that we all are familiar with.

Love these conversations!!! Everything Everywhere is my choice for Best Picture of the Year!!! I'm be happy if The Banshees of Inisherin or Maverick took that as well. Cate Blanchett, and Austin Butler gave my favorite performances (haven't seen The Whale yet).

Nah, RRR is going to secure that 10th slot and I’m waiting to see Jeff’s jaw drop.

I am with Sneider on Glass Onion…not best picture material…it was a fun watch, But there was no mystery. RRR: I watched on Netflix only because I saw a scene on instagram and was blown away….and several times I flirted with turning it off, but I kept saying 5 more minutes and I finished it and I loved RRR

I’m with Perri on Glass Onion!

Jeff may think that EEAAO doesn’t appeal to older crowds but the movie was nominated for best film at the AARP Movies For Grownups Awards, so…. I don’t know I think the older generation are connecting to it too. Maybe in a different way, but still.

Great job guys. Here's my top Best Picture predictions: 1. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN 2. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE 3. THE FABELMANS These are pretty much ties for me. All of them scored Picture, Director, Screenplay and Acting nominations from the Globes and CCAs. My order is purely based on the critics circle wins. 4. TAR - Tons of Critics Circle wins, Lots of love from the Globes and CCAs. 5. ELVIS - Nominated for Picture, Director and Actor from the Globes and CCAs. 6. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER - Nominated for Picture and Director at Globes and CCAs 7. TOP GUN: MAVERICK - Won NBR and nominated for Picture at the Globes and CCAs, but nothing in writing or directing. The next three for me are the most flux. 8. WOMEN TALKING - Nominated for Picture, Director, Screenplay and Acting at CCAs. Globe nominated for Screenplay. 9. THE WHALE - Best Actor winners starred in a Best Picture nominee since 2010. 10. RRR - Every year, they go for a non-English Language film. I think this one takes the cake. Others: The Woman King, Glass Onion, Babylon, Nope, She Said, Aftersun and All Quiet on the Western Front

How can we book Scott for movie talk here in Miami?

Saying Toy Story is your favorite animated movie sounds like the standard answer for someone who doesn't like animation and just wants to get off the hook.

What about Triangle of Sadness?

People are underestimating RRR. It is one of the best film made this year. It has 2 nominations at Golden Globe, NY film critics best director award, LA critics best director Award. National board of review list of top ten films. Critics choice Award 5 nominations. RRR is going to be a dark horse at the Oscars.

Thanks again Lady and Gentlemen(s)

I think everything up to and including Babylon is pretty locked at this point. The last movie is a wild card between RRR, The Woman King, Glass Onion, and possibly Triangle of Sadness imo. Personally I'd go with RRR but I'd respect any of those choices. I think it's crazy how realistic Jeff can be in most of his remarks, but still has Empire of Light in his 10 slot.

Does RRR have a chance of making the cut? Loved Jack Sneider take on it. First time, someone is saying upfroot, what crap that movie was. All those critics who loved it, prasied it, blogged about it... I feel like they just did to get views and re-share of the same by mass Indian Population. Being Indian, watched that movie, I know what crap that was. Recently it won many awards and accolades, which raises real doubts on those jury members/critics/etc. There are lots of great Indian movies(not specific Bollywood movies) which don't even get that recognition and hype that RRR is getting, which are sometimes for sure worthy of that Trophy.

People dislike the truth-tellers, and Jeff stubbornly sticks to the truth, to the practical reality of this business while others' vision is blurred by emotion and idealism. I have to admire Jeff (though Glass Onion and Knives Out rock).

RRR 🔥🔥

The academy did give shape of water best pic….

My favorite youtube show

Aftersun is sneaking in.

For the last few years a foregin language films sneaks into the best picture nominatipns, so clearly this years is happenimg again, decision to leave , RRR, mayebe evem Bardo could and should be considered, I guarantee one will get in

I'm gonna say that i'm just in the first 100!

why no RRR, critics choice nominated in 5 categories

It’s seems like none of you have even watched All Quiet on the Western Front 😢

Why did amazon release 13 lives so early

But still adore you Jeff -:)

I understand you guys are picking who you think WILL get nominated/win and I’m sure your predictions will be quite accurate. But I’ve seen a number of the potential nominated movies this year and it leaves me confused why the two movies I personally loved most this year, The Batman and Nope, aren’t getting more buzz for awards.

Loving the revised videos. FYC is damm enjoyable to watch with different perspectives. Probably best Oscar predictions videos on YT. PS: Sorry to objectify but Jeff Sneider is one hot fuck 🔥

No one talking about Wakanda Forever. Bi Zarre.

so jeff doesn’t think there are enough like-minded people to get eeaao, the universally loved indie darling of the year, the win, but he thinks there are enough british voters (who actually liked empire of light, mind you) to get empire of light a nomination? …mmmmkay 🤣🤣

I’m a critic but god I hope a movie that has the hotdog for fingers does NOT win best Picture.

The British movie that deserves all the British votes that won’t get in and has no chance is Brian and Charles

*A F T E R S U N*

Empire of Light didn't get in AFI's Top 10, didn't get in Golden Globes Drama Best Picture, and it didn't get in the 11 nominees for Best Picture at the Critic's Choice Awards. Come on, Jeff?! 🙃

In no particular order, there are 5 films that seem pretty much a lock for a nom: Everything Everywhere, Banshees, Top Gun, Tar, Fablemans,. At this moment I'd guess these are likely for 4 of the remaining 5 spots: Avatar, Elvis, Babylon, Women Talking.. Last spot is really up in the air- Aftersun, Triangle of Sadness, Pinocchio, Glass Onion, RRR, Woman King or ? Probably depends on how they are marketed between now and voting time. I don't hear anyone having any interest in She Said. And yeah, I don't care about seeing it - I followed the story in real time and don't need to re-visit that so soon. Babylon is divisive in early reviews, but with 10 slots to fill, this big budget film with great craft elements will still likely get a nom. Personally rooting for EEAO - really groundbreaking film work.

Triangle of Sadness??

Avatar actually helps Top Gun win Best Picture because it shows the big difference between two cinematic popular movies . Top Gun has 96% critics choice while Avatar 80% and maybe dropping even more. Top Gun has both - story and cinematic theater experience and most beloved. I am Team Top Gun Maverick and hoping it WINs both PGA and Oscars!

i want RRR to win

Glass Onion was such a blast. It might sneak in. I would vote for The Batman if it was my choice 🙂

The Menu

where is Triangle of Sadness?

I have to agree with Jeff on "Pinocchio" , while the world building and animation is wonderful I feel like I've seen better stop motion over all. The creativity of the designs is what really sells it. The reason I find it easy to turn off is I find Pinocchio the character to be incredibly grating in this version and some of the music in it (one song in particular) is also just off putting. I kept thinking about it for a couple days after the viewing and decided I ultimately liked it but the reason I wasn't sure was those elements I mentioned. I could see it getting nominated but I just don't think it's anywhere near a masterpiece.
