tracking is difficult in advance. Its a guarantee every Oscar year that at least one film will overperform expectations, while another will crash and burn unexpectedly. That said, with Hollywood the way it is now, the field of potential nominees is much samller, so you can arrange a list like this by studio and map out most of your possible contenders:
Netflix
The Irishman
Marriage Story
The Laundromat
The Two Popes
The King
the Last Thing He Wanted
Columbia
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Little Women
Universal
1917
Us
Cats
Queen and Slim
Warner Bros.
Joker
The Goldfinch
The Good Liar
Motherless Brooklyn
Just MercyFocus Features
Harriet
Downton Abbey
Dark Waters
Fox Searchlight
Jojo Rabbit
A Hidden Life
Lucy in the SkyA24
The Farewell
The Lighthouse
Uncut Gems
20th Century Fox
Ford Versus Ferrari
Ad AstraTriStar
A Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodNeon
Parasite
ClemencySony Pictures Classics
Pain and Glory
Roadside Attractions
JudyParamount
Rocketman
Gemini Man
Disney
Toy Story 4
Amazon
The Report
the Aeronauts
United Artists
BooksmartThat's pretty much what the lineups will be made of. it's hard to say what will win Picture at this point with the changing face of academy voters. As for acting winners, at this point I would guess: Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), Cynthia Erivo (Harriet), Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Laura Dern (Marriage Story) Although Pitt won before for producing 12 Years a Slave, all four would be first time acting winners.
Also, keep an eye on Maggie Smith. If she gets nominated for Downton Abbey, she will shatter a long-held academy record for acting nominations over the longest span of time.
when will The Irishman finally open???

Movie stars have gone the way of the dinosaurs. They don't exist anymore
I believe there are still a handful, but OLD HOLLYWOOD had them larger than life, a lot has to do with tv, now you hear and see them all the time, also the net of course Back then only the movie magazine's were it, unless of course you went to the theatre NO MYSTIQUE
Just a few today ion my opinion anyway but not really my favs today
Hanks
Eastwood
Jack Nicholson
Sean Connery
Streep
Michelle Pfeiffer
Tom Cruise
Poitier
Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock
But Daniel Day-Lewis is more of an actor
as is De Niro

Related to the cancel-culture: The NFL just issued a press-release that Michael Vick will serve as Pro-Bowl Captain. This is despite over 500,000 people signing a petition that he shouldn't represent the NFL due to his dog-fighting conviction back in 2007.
Good to see the NFL taking a stance here; that generally, most people shouldn't be cancelled-for-life. Vick served his time, and has done a lot to assist the animal-rights movement in the last 10 or so years.
CNN has an article about this.

He was robbed of what woulda been his 3rd acting Oscar in 1954's Suddenyly?
& told Larry King he almost went around 1980/81 during an 8hr stomach operation
His first wife Nancy just died about a year ago & was approx. 101

Was going to post this yesterday but was just too tired for it My #1 all-time idol-(Tracy of actors) Francis (Albert) Sinatra-(l9l5-l998) had his 104th birthday on December 12th, obvious reason our favorite network airs a few of his (58) motion pictures & in the meantime yesterday I went back to a couple sites about his final resting place located-(modestly) in Desert Memorial Park in Palm Springs, CALIF. & even his fans searching for it had a difficult time of it due to it being just like every other grave, except his is the sole one decorated with flowers, pennies & an American Flag.
His mom, pop, last wife & even his best friend Jilly Rizzo are next to him. One would think with his ego & such he'd have a marker like The Great 0ne Jackie Gleason, Jolson or Fairbanks though In death The Rat Pack are all spread out, Dino in Westwood, Sammy in Glendale,etc
His last home in PS is still all intact & fans can actually stay overnight there, but for $18 hundred a night. Google if you want his very final concert, it's sad! All agree his finest era of music was the mid to late 50's known as the post Ava Gardner yrs I bet the legions of fans visited his grave yesterday For fellow fans or anybody you can easily locate that footage of it online ^& the outright dump they lived in in Hoboken, NJ has been raised only awhile ago, but Hoboken has markers everywhere That's is where his mob connection first started, he'd have to play clubs early & Wise Guys owned them in both NJ & NY areas Frank always felt Dino was the funniest man on the planet, but was the only one there when Sammy suffered that awful car accident his eye actually popped out & then he tried taking Davis to several hospitals but they refused him because he was black Anonymously for decades he financed a heart operation for his sports hero Joe Louis, but Louis suffered a stroke in the midst of it.
It's splitting hairs, but he was Sicilian & not only Italian
Paid for Bela Lugosi's funeral, got Lee J. cobb out of the infamous Vegas black book & more
He was born still-born & if only for his grandmother's input she put him under ice cold water, if you look at the left side of his neck that was from the tongs they had a big problem getting him out, reason he was 4-F in WW11, his left ear was almost punctured trough his 82yrs
Despite loving boxing, baseball was his game I used to even own a FS Bobblehead on the mark & with a baseball bat in hand vs a microphone.
Matter of fact his own fav of the 3 with Gene Kelly was Take Me 0ut to the Ballgame & the San Francisco Giants
He died of a massive heart attack at Cedars Sinai hospital May 14th, 98 It was a a bit sad when yet another interview with Frank, Jr-(l944-2016) was of course talking about his old man & many folks were writing in, pondering what he'd do next & so on, I broke the news that he was also gone
Arguably my biggest screw up in mid Hollywood was trying to get a lg photo of one of it's largest murals & even had Capitol Records in the background! I failed though, using a different camera, what a big dummy
He always called himself a 14 carat manic depressive-(again a connection to The Great Spencer Tracy) These2 giants used to live next to each other in Trancas Beach, CALIF
JUST SOME FUN TRIVIA, HOPE YOU FIND IT OF INTEREST I even own an official black fedora like his & with his signature on the inside

That's a very impressive Raccoon resume. I hadn't seen them in years when I found them on YT several years
ago and watched all the classic 39. They're still hilarious. If nobody looks very closely maybe you can wear
a raccoon cap to Davy Crockett events.
I call you killer because you slayyyy me.

I personally have long disliked Karger, back when he was a lame pc critic for EW Entertainment weekly that's why I want L. Maltin or Bogdanovich in his place
Both are walking talking encyclopedia's on film history, like Scorsese
