At Oscars Central, we stand in full solidarity with both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, films would not exist. If you are able to, you can make a donation to the Entertainment Community Fund here.

Well it’s August so you know what that means…let’s continue our Oscar predictions mostly sight unseen! Here at Oscars Central, it is always Oscar season. Each week ahead of festival season, we will bring you early predictions in an above-the-line category.

This week, we are wrapping up our Way Too Early Oscar Predictions with Best Picture! While some films we have seen (and loved), many films are still set to have world premieres at upcoming film festivals! Below you’ll find each of our team’s predictions with twenty films listed that we have our eye on in the Best Picture race.

Check out our other Way-Too-Early predictions in other categories before our Oscar Board kicks off soon!
