Forecasted Oscar Predictions by Feinberg: Updates following Venice, Telluride, TIFF, and Emmys for Scott's film
In the world of cinema, the autumn season is a time of excitement and anticipation. This year is no exception, with a host of new releases and awards making headlines.
Jennifer Lopez recently attended a post-screening Q&A for the film Kiss of the Spider Woman, produced by Roadside. Meanwhile, The Secret Agent has been garnering positive feedback at festival and industry screenings, setting the stage for potential award nominations.
The film scene is not limited to Hollywood, as international films are also making a significant impact. Poland has entered Agnieszka Holland's latest film, Kafka, into the best international feature Oscar competition. Interestingly, Holland has had films chosen to represent multiple countries in this competition in the past. Kafka, which is yet to secure U.S. distribution, could be a contender for the prestigious award.
Another international film to keep an eye on is The Secret Agent, which Brazil has submitted for the best international feature Oscar competition. This film has been receiving positive reviews and could potentially make a strong showing in the awards race.
In the realm of awards, Chloe Zhao's Hamnet won Toronto's audience award for best film. The film A House of Dynamite, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, has also been screened in LA, and is being touted as a directing tour-de-force and a true ensemble piece. Writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho and lead actor Wagner Moura are strong contenders for the best international feature Oscar.
The awards season is not just limited to film festivals. The Golden Lion, Venice's top prize, was awarded to Father Mother Sister Brother. Benny Safdie was named best director for The Smashing Machine, while Toni Servillo was chosen as best actor for La Grazia.
In the realm of television, The Day After, an ABC TV movie, was one of the most watched TV programs of all time, two generations ago. More recently, the Kazakh film 'Bauryna Salu' premiered in Los Angeles on September 17, 2025, and could be considered relevant for the Oscars. However, details on its Oscar competition status are still unclear.
Another film that is expected to spark conversation is A House of Dynamite. The film, which deals with the proliferation of nuclear weapons, is set to make a statement and could potentially lead to important discussions about global security.
As the awards season continues, it will be interesting to see which films and television shows emerge as the frontrunners. Stay tuned for more updates on the world of cinema.
