Summary

For Episode 451, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, Will Mavity, and I are here to predict what films we specifically feel will be announced to have their world premieres at the 2025 Venice Film Festival this week on Tuesday and the Toronto International Film Festival throughout the week. For this week's poll, with the fall film festival announcements about to come in full force with expected announcements from the aforementioned Venice, TIFF, and NYFF, and Oscar season quickly approaching, we ask for the first time this year, "Which Film Do You Feel Will Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" And for last week's poll, for the release of "Eddington," we reveal your top 10 results for "Which Is Your Favorite Film Set Against The Backdrop Of The COVID-19 Pandemic?" We also share our reactions to the trailer for Luca Guadagnino's much-anticipated Oscar contender "After The Hunt," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Please be sure to vote on the 2009 NBP Film Community Award Nominations if you have not already done so. Voting ends this week before July 26th.
