Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is the fifth installment in the Mad Max franchise and the prequel to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. The first three Mad Max films scored zero Oscar and BAFTA nominations, and one Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome. Mad Max: Fury Road was a big critical, box-office, and award-season hit, landing 10 Oscar nominations and 6 wins.
Fury Road reviews Rotten Tomatoes approval rating - 97%
IMDB user score - 8.1/10 Critics Choice Association Score - 89/100
Furiosa reviews Rotten Tomatoes approval rating - 90% IMDB user score - 7.9/10 Critics Choice Association Score - 83/100
Despite its positive reception and predecessor's success, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga under-performed at the U.S-Canadian box-office in its opening weekend. The problematic opening weekend results has put the second prequel on hold. The Academy is not the box-office, but it might alter Warner Brothers' campaign strategy come in November and December.
How do you see Furiosa's Oscar prospects?
Note: I included all the categories Fury Road was nominated for, and added in Original Score, Adapted Screenplay, and two acting awards. I didn't include Original Song because I am not sure if it has any.

I guess we're looking at techs only. Haven't made any detailed predictions yet but I could see it getting:
- Production Design
- Editing
- Costume Design
- Sound
- Visual Effects
- Makeup & Hairstyling

On its worst day, probably still gets makeup. On its best day, I think probably makeup, PD, CD, Sound and VFX (though the latter has gotten enough criticism that I could see it being left off as easily). I don't see editing as too likely, because most reviews notes how much less tight it is than Fury Road, additionally, unlike Fury Road, it will not be a "top five" contender which editing nominees often are.

I don't know... but if it doesn't, I'm coming to the Oscars on a dunebuggy armed with a couple of those rocket spears.
Sound will be easy, everyone love the sound. Production design also likely. Some people make fun of Chris Hemsworth's nose, but it's being mentioned, which is probably enough to put makeup in contention.
IF they campaign for it correctly, I can see visual effects. The CGI doesn't look good next to the stuff in Fury Road, but the key is to focus on the deepfaking, which is a million times better than what you see in most movies. The "face merging" aspect of the two actresses could work as a narrative (and it really is impressive).

Just to add to your point.
Since 2009, only 5 films have been nominated for Best Film Editing without a Best Picture nomination:
Girl With a Dragon Tattoo - Won Editing. Nominated for Best Actress for Mara. Might have been the 10th nomination.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Only tech nominations. Nothing in the major categories. Baby Driver - Sound nominations I, Tonya - 2 acting awards. Might have been the 10th Best Picture nomination. Tick, Tick, Boom! - Nominated for Best Actor for Andrew Garfield.
We will see what happens, but I think Dune 2 is going to be Warner Brothers' main pony.

Sound, Visual Effects and Makeup. Maybe Costumes and Production Design.

Reasonably confident in Makeup, Score and Visual Effects.
I feel very good about Costumes and Production Design.
I do think it could still get in Picture on the back of its tech haul if there are a few potential contenders that fall short. The reviews are very strong and it is possible this movie could get a revival down the line — especially if critics go to bat for it.
