With Venice a few weeks away, I figured I'd get the ball rolling on the thread here for all news in regards to Venice, as well as putting up predictions for the prizes when we know officially what's in competition.
Tomorrow, we should be getting news on what is actually in comp, but for now, I've heard rumors that this might be the list (barring a few late additions):

A Star Is Born will be screened out of competition. There's rumors running around that Korine's movie might be in competition. I think there'll be another Italian movie and it might be Roberto Ando's Una Storia Senza Nome.
I'll try to watch as many as possible and report on what I see!

This is a big one, very curious if they're screening it as a feature, and if it works swimmingly, would Netflix then go for some easy Oscar noms? In a way, it could change the game, something this high profile: if they, say, release it in theaters as a feature, then release it on their site as episodes. It'd create even more allure for doing limited series.....

Words been quite mum on this, something more ambitious from Kent who's already proved she is talented behind the camera in her debut.
I forget where, but I read this had a sizzle-reel of sorts that played to great interest. Will this be a niche curio or a major contender Dafoe in Lead Actor?

The very fact they went the miniseries route instead of their conventional two-hour film limit makes me think that they're telling the story in the form they want to for a reason. Netflix probably sees an opportunity to use two of the greatest filmmakers working as a major coup to establish them as a haven for auteurs (like Showtime did for Lynch). But when it comes to having The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in comp, well, Venice has Lav Diaz movies on the regular that are miniseries-length.

But when it comes to having The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in comp, well, Venice has Lav Diaz movies on the regular that are miniseries-length. True true. Ideally, I'd want each ep to be like 60-70m so we'd have six mini-Western features from them! But, Netflix is already a haven for auteurs; Scorsese, Joon-ho Bong, Herzog, Fincher, Soderbergh, technically Welles lol. They offer money and freedom, and I don't think we've yet seen the best of that duende. (Roma will be a turning point this year methinx.) After all the storied stress with the studios, major filmmakers are given this much space and flexibility, it can't be turned down. I kinda projected onto Scruggs (tho it still might happen!) the reverse of my thinking mainly with The Irishman in terms of runtime and how Netflix probably won't make Scors dial it down, so if it ends up being 4-5 hrs, what do they do then....?

That lineup. Apparently Buster Scruggs is only 132 minutes. I expected it to run closer to (or over) 3 hours, since it was originally a miniseries and especially considering that it being a Netflix joint instead of a traditional release gives the Coens more freedom, but I'm definitely not complaining. That extended cut of The Tree of Life is high on my wish list. I guess Radegund is bowing at Berlin or Cannes next year? (...Or Venice? ) Vox Lux was in pre-production for so long that I'm shocked it's actually completed. Didn't even know they'd already filmed it. Dolan alluded a couple months ago that John F. Donovan might pop up here, but it's still nowhere to be seen. I'm guessing it skips the festivals altogether and just goes straight to theaters? Or becomes a late TIFF addition? Or doesn't actually exist and is just an elaborate prank? Any other notable absences?

Anyone game to do way-too-early awards predictions? Here's mine, based on absolutely nothing except what might appeal to Guillermo and the general air of the festival:
