The panel puts the top two contenders \u2014 Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d<\/a> and Chlo\u00e9 Zhao\u2019s adaptation of \u201cHamnet\u201d<\/a> \u2014 way above the field, each with double the points of No. 3 (Will Tracy\u2019s script for Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 \u201cBugonia\u201d).<\/p>\n Amy Nicholson writes that Anderson\u2019s film \u201cinspired by\u201d Thomas Pynchon\u2019s 1990 novel \u201cVineland\u201d \u201cfeels as though it was written this morning about this very moment,\u201d as its sociopolitical references occasionally seem ripped from current headlines. \u201cTime is circular; Anderson’s craft and insight are eternal.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPark Chan-wook could sneak in there with \u2018No Other Choice,\u2019<\/i> \u201d says Robert Daniels. \u201cIt played so well at TIFF, they needed to add several screenings because it kept selling out, making it the hardest ticket to grab.\u201d<\/p>\n Dave Karger says, \u201cI\u2019d love to see two of my Telluride favorites, \u2018Bugonia\u2019 and \u2018Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,\u2019<\/a> make the cut.\u201d Glenn Whipp bemoans the unlikelihood of Daniel Craig earning an acting nod as sly sleuth Benoit Blanc. However, he throws out into the universe, \u201cWhy not a nom for Rian Johnson, the creator of all the twisty \u2018Knives Out\u2019 surprises?\u201d There\u2019s certainly precedent: Johnson was nominated for each of the first two \u201cKnives Out\u201d screenplays.<\/p>\n Best original screenplay<\/a> | Best international feature<\/a><\/p>\n 1. \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d<\/b> 3. \u201cBugonia\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n 4. \u201cHedda\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n 5. \u201cWake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n T6. \u201cNo Other Choice\u201d<\/p>\n T6. \u201cThe Secret Agent\u201d<\/p>\n 8. \u201cSpringsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere\u201d<\/p>\n
