Who will be nominated for Best Picture at the 2027 Oscars? In this week’s episode of the Awards Central Podcast, I share my thoughts on the Best Picture Race giving my first predictions along with tackling some films that are on the outside looking in.

From early frontrunners like The Odyssey, La Bola Negra, and Wild Horse Nine to the films fighting to break into the top 10, we’re looking at the biggest contenders, surprise possibilities, and movies that could make a serious awards-season run.

These are early predictions, and the race will evolve as more films are released and awards season heats up.

1. The Odyssey
2. Dune Part Three
3. La Bola Negra
4. Wild Horse Nine
5. Project Hail Mary
6. The Invite
7. The Debut
8. I Play Rocky
