In terms of locks, I think Mikey Madison has Actress, Zoe Saldana has Supporting Actress, Emilia Pérez has International Feature and maybe Original Song, Anora has Original Screenplay, and Dune: Part Two has a few technical awards (Sound and Visual Effects).
I know he just won so that's working against him... but don't count out Cillian Murphy in Small Things Like These. I'm actually surprised more people aren't talking about this... I think his performance is better here than it was in Oppenheimer. If that film gets an Oscar push from the studio I could see him with a second consecutive nomination. I wish Challengers didn't come out so early this year, because that film SHOULD be in Best Picture... particularly in a weaker year like this. But an April release date pretty much snuffed out any chance of that happening. You have to be a huge blockbuster like Dune 2 in order to release that early and still be in the conversation at Oscar voting time.
@segunsaba7646 I agree, it's very cliche and even insulting but, rethinking my previous comment, I think it's unfortunately solidified it's place for a nomination. Wild Robot is another film which is really Meh to me due to how unoriginal and uninspired it is but wouldn't shock or upset me if it got in because I like seeing animated features in. Gladiator II's chances are dwindling after its release. I think that Wicked is going to clean up in nominations and Anora will win Picture, Actress, Screenplay, Director. I honestly wish for the day a Documentary is allowed into the Best Picture category.

All I care is conclave winning best screenplay. That's the best elaborate movie I've seen this season
Thanks so much for the new predictions video. It’s very much appreciated.
As of november the oscars will be 4 months away
Ridiculous list . Dune Part 2 is not the third ranked film, more like 8 or 9. Sing Sing is out of the Best Picture race
I don't see Sing Sing in Best picture race either....too tackie
