I can't ignore the fact the Telluride and Venice Film Festivals -- the latter of which is still underway -- have had an impact on the Oscar race, but at the same time I don't think it would be wise to begin updating my Oscar predictions based on the films that were seen considering I'll be seeing each and every one of them at the Toronto Film Festival beginning Thursday, September 5. That said, I felt it necessary to at least offer up some preliminary thoughts, especially with standouts such as 12 Years a Slave, Gravity, Philomena and Prisoners making rather large splashes so far and Cannes standouts Nebraska, All is Lost and Inside Llewyn Davis enjoying their second major peek-out. I should note, I didn't devour any of the reviews that were written as much as I skimmed headlines and caught snippets here and there on Twitter. So this analysis is merely fringe analysis.
