My initial early take on the Oscar landscape in the major categories brings us to Best Picture! If you missed my posts covering Director and the four acting races, they’re here:

2022 Oscar Predictions: April Edition (Best Supporting Actor)
At this early stage in the proceedings, it’s a whole lotta guesswork going on. Some of these titles could end up getting pushed back to 2023. There’s no doubt some of these will fail to garner the critical raves they require to contend.
Yet we have to start somewhere so here’s the first look at my 10 projected BP nominees and 15 other possibilities!
