99th Academy Awards  - Best Picture - Wild Horse Nine

Earlier this season, I held the contrarian take that Martin McDonagh’s new film would not be a contender. However, reliable insiders who have seen the film and rate its Oscar potential, have changed my position.

Wild Horse Nine will be win competitive, and these odds will drop once the film is shown in September.

99th Academy Awards  - Best Actor nomination - Sam Rockwell

Sticking with Wild Horse Nine information, my sources also reveal that Rockwell has enough screen time to potentially move out of supporting and into to lead category.

This is a contrarian play, and we have seen the category switcheroo in the past.
