A note from Scott: As hard as it is to believe, another awards season is upon us! It unofficially launched, as always, with the Venice and Telluride film festivals over Labor Day weekend. I was on the ground at the latter, where I saw and analyzed a bunch of films; interviewed the folks behind three of the most widely-discussed, The Apprentice, Maria and Emilia Pérez; and dissected the meaning of it all with my colleague Rebecca Keegan. Now, the awards-industrial complex has fled sweltering L.A. and migrated north to Toronto. I will be here for the next week screening films; analyzing their prospects; and, on Sunday, moderating TIFF Visionaries chats with Alfonso Cuarón (whose new Apple TV+ limited series Disclaimer screened at Venice and Telluride and will be screening here) and Malala Yousafzai (an executive producer of the Apple TV+ documentary The Last of the Sea Women, which will be having its world premiere here) — I hope you will join us!

My picks are arrived at by screening films, consulting with voters, analyzing campaigns and studying results of past seasons.
