The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Technical Predictions

Starting at the end of this week, and rolling through most of the next week, we still start to here from the major guilds (SAG being the early exception). Some of the big ones like the PGA, DGA, and WGA will have a incredible impact on the big categories, especially Best Picture. But there are a lot of guilds announcing that will also help us clear up some of these tough technical categories. Before they reign in, and shift the landscape completely, here are my predictions:
