August Oscar Predictions

Scorsese's Silence, it seems, will have to wait.

A couple of fringe contenders, like Demolition and Midnight Special, have moved to 2016, but not much else has changed since last month. However, it looks like Martin Scorsese's Silence will probably premiere at Cannes next year, taking it out of this year's race.
