"As Roger Ebert loved to say, movies are our greatest teacher of empathy. I've been reminding myself of that while working on these predictions for the past week, during fleeting breaks from doom scrolling. Maybe some of the movies discussed below could help teach empathy to so many Americans who seem to desperately need it. I have to believe small things like that matter, and if receiving awards attention inspires more people to see these movies, that's a good thing."
"Below is a listing of all the potential nominees in each of the major categories, ranked in order of how likely I think they are to secure a nomination. They're also all sorted into three broad tiers: Locks, Contenders, and Long Shots. My official predictions are the top five listed in each category (except for Best Picture, where it's the top ten)."
Movies act as powerful teachers of empathy and can broaden viewers' perspectives. Awards attention can increase visibility and encourage more people to see empathy-building films. Several films are identified as likely nominees, with a group expected to be strong contenders across major categories. A possible Best Picture slate could include three foreign-language films, signaling growing international representation. Potential nominees are organized into three tiers—Locks, Contenders, and Long Shots—with official predictions noting top five picks per category and a top ten for Best Picture.
