Way Too Early 2024 Oscar Predictions

Oppenheimer Film Still Christopher Nolan

2024 Oscar Predictions – already?! Yeah I know, it is a bit silly to predict the Oscars from this early but hey, it is a little indicative to you, the reader, on what films are projected to be of high quality. I have done some quality digging on particular films and creatives to see what looks to do well in the coming awards season. 

The pool of films this year looks to improve even upon what we had last year – if you love movies then expect to appreciate the year 2023. Some indications right now come from the Sundance Film Festival and the recent SXSW festival that happened recently. However, the Cannes Film Festival will be one of the big events where we first look at how the awards season will shape up – even if it can change dramatically over that time.
