If either Greta or Jordan get snubbed in director, their film is winning this a la Affleck with Argo I feel. I have top 5 as locks and idek after that, so wide open this year! 1. Get Out 2. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 3. Lady Bird 4. The Shape Of Water 5. Dunkirk ------ 6. The Post 7. I, Tonya 8. Call Me By Your Name 9. The Florida Project 10. Darkest Hour ------ The Big Sick (SO tempted to predict this over CMBYN but I'm not going to. I feel DH's box office + BAFTA success will pull it ahead of TBS at the last second) Molly's Game (I can see this getting in but idk at the expense of what) Mudbound ------ BEST ACTOR - top 3 are in I feel, 4-6 are a bloodbath & I could see a shocker like Pattinson/Stanton sneaking in last second 1. Darkest Hour - Gary Oldman 2. Call Me By Your Name - Timothee Chalamet 3. Get Out - Daniel Kaluuya 4. Phantom Thread - Daniel Day-Lewis 5. The Post - Tom Hanks Alternate: The Disaster Artist - James Franco Alternate 2: The Greatest Showman or Logan - Hugh Jackman BEST ACTRESS - I feel this top 5 is too obvious & someone's gonna miss.

The Big Sick - Holly Hunter 4. The Shape of Water - Octavia Spencer 5. mother! - Michelle Pfeiffer (I feel there's gonna be a shocker here, I'm just not sure who) Alternate: Mudbound - Mary J. Blige BEST DIRECTOR 1. The Shape of Water - Guillermo Del Toro 2. Dunkirk - Christopher Nolan 3. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Martin McDonagh 4. Lady Bird - Greta Gerwig 5.
