I have been avoiding making this list, partly because it’s only early October and partly because I have not seen at least 5 films on the list.
That said, as of today, 10 of the films listed below stand a good chance to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar:
Films (in alphabetical order):
Black Mass
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Carol
Concussion
The Danish Girl
The Hateful Eight
Inside Out
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight
Star Wars
Steve Jobs
Straight Outa Compton
Truth
Youth
