The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions - Best Actor
Pre-Guild Predictions
Christian Bale "Vice"
Bradley Cooper "A Star is Born"
Rami Malek "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Viggo Mortensen "Green Book"
John David Washington "BlacKkKlansman"
Other Contenders - Ethan Hawke "First Reformed", Ryan Gosling "First Reformed", Willem Dafoe "At Eternity's Gate", Lucas Hedges "Boy Erased"
Commentary - The SAG, Globes, and Critics Choice have narrowed down this race down to ten. I don't see Lucas Hedges popping up, but the Globes kept his chances alive, and he does have two big projects for voters to see his work. Willem Dafoe and Ryan Gosling are popular past nominees, and if BAFTA gives them a boost, they could sneak back in. The critics have gone to bat for Ethan Hawke, but no SAG and no Globe means that the broader industry is not on the same page. Once again, a BAFTA nod could help. I think the last slot could go to Globe/SAG nominee John David Washington. The other four are locked, and ready to battle it out for Oscar.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Predictions - Best Actress
Pre-Guild Predictions
Emily Blunt "Mary Poppins Returns"
Glenn Close "The Wife"
Olivia Colman "The Favourite"
Lady Gaga "A Star is Born"
Melissa McCarthy "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
Other Contenders - Yalitza Aparicio "Roma", Rosamund Pike "A Private War", Toni Collette "Hereditary", Nicole Kidman "Destroyer", Elsie Fisher "Eighth Grade", Joanna Kulig "Cold War", Constance Wu "Crazy Rich Asians", Charlize Theron "Tully", Viola Davis "Widows", Julia Roberts "Ben is Back", Regina Hall "Support the Girls", Felicity Jones "On the Basis of Sex"
Commentary - This race still has so many potential contenders. Just from SAG, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice, there are twelve names, all of which are still in the conversation. That still leaves out Julia Roberts, Viola Davis, Regina Hall, and Joanna Kulig, all of whom are still being talked about as we enter the next phase of Oscar voting. Right now I am sticking with the SAG five. These five got all three (SAG, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice). Everyone else got one, or two, but not all three. Obviously a lot can change in the race, and BAFTA always throws in a contender or two, but consensus also starts to develop, and these five feel like the ones rising to the top. A lot of folks are hanging their hats on Yalitza Aparicio, hoping that the love for Roma will spill over here. I think we would have seen her show up at the Globes had that love translated. I don't see her getting in at BAFTA, which means she will only have regional critics groups and the Critics Choice heading into Oscar nominations. Not that its impossible, but I think she needed to have had a better standing at this point, especially in a year with so many big names on the ballot. Beyond those six, Pike, Collette, Kidman, and Fisher are all hoping voters will take notice, but I think that after a mess of race, it is finally starting to form into a much more coherent race.

Beyond those six, Pike, Collette, Kidman, and Fisher are all hoping voters will take notice, but I think that after a mess of race, it is finally starting to form into a much more coherent race.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions - Best Supporting Actor
Pre-Guild Predictions
Mahershala Ali "Green Book"
Timothee Chalamet "Beautiful Boy"
Adam Driver "BlacKkKlansman"
Sam Elliott "A Star is Born"
Richard E. Grant "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
Other Contenders - Michael B. Jordan "Black Panther", Sam Rockwell "Vice", Brian Tyree Henry "If Beale Street Could Talk", Daniel Kaluuya "Widows", Steven Yeun "Burning", Steve Carell "Vice", Josh Hamilton "Eighth Grade"
Commentary - This race has narrowed to seven quickly, with the rest of the names faint possibilities. I think the SAG five will hold. Sam Rockwell got the Globe nod, but I think his role is too small, and he will be replaced by Sam Elliott in a film that is destined to go further. The real spoiler is Michael B. Jordan. Black Panther is truly a contender, and I think Jordan could knock Chalamet, whose film has no other legit chances for a nomination, for that final slot. Ali, Grant, and Driver feel like locks, with Grant leading the way, and Elliott feels like the sentimental pick, and could ride a waive of nostalgia to an Oscar.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions - Best Supporting Actress
Pre-Guild Predictions
Amy Adams "Vice"
Claire Foy "First Man"
Regina King "If Beale Street Could Talk"
Emma Stone "The Favourite"
Rachel Weisz "The Favourite"
Other Contenders - Margot Robbie "Mary, Queen of Scots", Emily Blunt "A Quiet Place", Nicole Kidman "Boy Erased"
Commentary - Unless BAFTA comes along and throws in a wildcard, this is an eight-way race. SAG threw in two contenders not many were expecting, Blunt for A Quiet Place and Robbie for Mary, Queen of Scots. I think that the SAG Nod here helps build a case for Blunt in Best Actress, and Robbie, while apparently fantastic in the film, would have to overcome the fact that the film's buzz is muted. I am still sticking with the same five I have for awhile. King's miss at SAG puts her win in jeopardy, but I still think enough voters will rally to nominate her. Amy Adams seems like a lock for Vice, and the Favourite duo has yet to cancel each other out. The Globe nod keeps Claire Foy in play, as does the #SeeHer award which will give her ample stage time at the Critics Choice. But as First Man continues to fall in the standings she is vulnerable. Finally, number 8 is Nicole Kidman. Despite no major nominations yet, or wins, she is just one I think should not be ignored.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions - Best Adapted Screenplay
Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions
David Rabinowitz, Charlie Wachtel, Kevin Willmott, and Spike Lee "BlacKkKlansman"
Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole "Black Panther"
Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
Barry Jenkins "If Beale Street Could Talk"
Eric Roth, Bradley Cooper and Will Fetters "A Star is Born"
Other Contenders - Josh Singer "First Man", Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini "Leave No Trace", David Magee "Mary Poppins Returns", Gillian Flynn and Steve McQueen "Widows", Audrey Wells "The Hate U Give", Joel Edgerton "Boy Erased", Jeff Pope "Stan And Ollie", Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim "Crazy Rich Asians"
Commentary - Spike Lee may finally, after over thirty years of making provocative films, win an Academy Award. BlacKkKlansman has risen to the top in the early guild and critics awards, and definitely feels like something the writers branch will embrace. A Star is Born is the Best Picture frontrunner, but this is not the kind of film that usually wins here, and this is usually where consolation prizes are rewarded. Beyond those two, I think Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which has done well in early screenplay prizes, is in, and Nicole Holofcener has been deserving of a nod for years. Black Panther is now a legit contender. It needed that Globe and SAG nod, and the industry clearly is ready to reward it. If it is really going to breakthrough, it needs writing and/or directing nods. I think Coogler is getting close to cracking the top five for director (and am seriously considering moving him in), but I think he is even closer to a screenplay nod. Finally, I am holding out for If Beale Street Could Talk. It slipped with no SAG love, but Jenkins won his category recently, and those who see the film, love it. Right on the outside of those five is Josh Singer, as First Man continues to slip, and Leave No Trace, which is definitely the kind of film that this branch has supported in the past. I also think Widows, Mary Poppins Returns, Boy Erased, Stan and Ollie and Crazy Rich Asians are in the mix. Finally, the late Audrey Wells could snag a nod for her emotional and wonderful script for The Hate U Give.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Nomination Predictions - Best Original Screenplay
Pre-Guild Predictions
Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara "The Favourite"
Paul Schrader "First Reformed"
Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie, Peter Farrelly "Green Book"
Alfonso Cuaron "Roma"
Adam McKay "Vice"
Other Contenders - Bo Burnham "Eighth Grade", John Krasinksi, Bryan Woods, and Scott Beck "A Quiet Place", Boots Riley "Sorry to Bother You", Ari Aster "Hereditary", Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartman, Kunichi Nomura, "Isle of Dogs", Jeff Pope "Stan & Ollie", Tamara Jenkins "Private Life", Caroline Thompson and Robert Zemeckis "Welcome to Marwen", Pawel Pawlikowski and Janusz Glowacki "Cold War"
Commentary - The conversation for this race has narrowed down to seven contenders for five slots. Roma, Green Book, and The Favourite feel like locks. Vice has still yet to have reviews released, and I keep hearing they will end up being mixed. But it swept the Globes and Critics Choice, and rumor also is that it is playing well with Academy members. The buzz suggests a muted response, the precursors tell us critics and industry members don't care. Plus McKay won a screenplay Oscar a couple of years ago, and is clearly well liked in this branch. This leaves one slot. A Quiet Place is the seventh slot, having gotten a Critics Choice nomination. It will need a combination or at least one of WGA and BAFTA to really put itself in the conversation. Although Get Out winning in this category shows that voters are willing to embrace genre. I think the last slot is between Eighth Grade and First Reformed. Of the two, I am leaning towards First Reformed. Eighth Grade could fall victim to other recent teen-centered scripts that lost at the finish line with the Academy. Plus it is going up against a legend who has never received an Oscar nomination. Beyond those seven, are a bunch of indies that have popped up but I don't think have enough buzz to crash the party including Hereditary, Sorry to Bother You, Private Life, Isle of Dogs, and Cold War. Finally, two still unknown contenders Stan & Ollie and Welcome to Marwen could become late-breaking contenders.
