Another Round: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (awards precedent): The Zone of Interest → Another Round. Another Round got a screenplay nomination but not Best Picture.
    “We saw this with another round where got a screenplay nomination, but it didn't get in to best picture.”
    The Big Picture · Best Picture Power Rankings and a ‘Poor Things’ Deep Dive. Plus: Julianne Moore and Todd Haynes! · 1:35:59 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

Cold War: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (awards precedent): The Zone of Interest → Cold War. Zone could win International Feature and director without Best Picture, as Cold War did.
    “And it won't, because Cold War did not get a best picture combination.”
    The Big Picture · Best Picture Power Rankings and a ‘Poor Things’ Deep Dive. Plus: Julianne Moore and Todd Haynes! · 1:35:51 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)

May December: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (awards viewership): May December → The Zone of Interest. Argues May December is widely seen on Netflix, more than Zone, Anatomy or Past Lives.
    “Main December is way more widely seen, in my opinion, than the zone of interest.”
    The Big Picture · Best Picture Power Rankings and a ‘Poor Things’ Deep Dive. Plus: Julianne Moore and Todd Haynes! · 1:29:58 · Sean Fennessey (0.65 sure it was them)

Past Lives: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (unusual PGA nominees): The Zone of Interest → Past Lives. The PGA, which usually goes mainstream, nominated these two smaller art house movies among its ten.
    “It's unusual that films like the zone of interest and past lives that are smaller, intimate, complicated art house movies, really, are nominated among the 10 films here.”
    The Big Picture · Oscar Nomination Predictions, ‘Mean Girls,’ and ‘All of Us Strangers’ With Andrew Scott · 0:05:24 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Poor Things: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (adaptation recontextualization): The Zone of Interest → Poor Things. Five adapted-screenplay nominees are interesting recontextualizations of their sources, and Zone of Interest is the outside contender that is also one.
    “The one on the outside, I think, is also a best picture contender that is also a recontextualization, which is the zone of interest.”
    The Big Picture · Oscar Nomination Predictions, ‘Mean Girls,’ and ‘All of Us Strangers’ With Andrew Scott · 0:28:46 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
