Writers Guild of America (WGA) Nominations
Some big contenders like The Lobster, Lion, Florence Foster Jenkins, Zootopia, and others were not eligible, but the biggest miss here is probably Hacksaw Ridge, which had the ineligible films, and the whole Moonlight and Loving in Original Screenplay (at the Oscars they will be Adapted), and yet managed to beaten by Deadpool.

The Oscar Narrative: Pre-Guild Predictions - Best Picture
Pre-Guild Predictions
Arrival
Fences
Florence Foster Jenkins
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
La La Land
Lion
Manchester By the Sea
Moonlight
Other Contenders - Silence, Loving, Sully, Jackie, 20th Century Women, Captain Fantastic, Nocturnal Animals, Patriot's Day, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Jungle Book, Live By Night, Allied, Rule's Don't Apply, Toni Erdmann, Miss Sloane, The Lobster, Deadpool, Moana, Love & Friendship, Deepwater Horizon, The Founder, I, Daniel Blake, American Honey, Certain Women, Cafe Society, Elle, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Handmaiden, Paterson
Commentary - I think that this race is starting to coalesce around ten nominees, with a few hoping that the guilds rescue them. Fences, Manchester By the Sea, and Moonlight are the front runner for that SAG Ensemble, and throw in La La Land which is sure to score a nod, and you probably have your top four contenders for Best Picture, assuming they run the gamut on the other major guilds. I also think that Hell or High Water is in a great position. The last 3-5 slots are where it gets tricky. Lion seems to be doing pretty well, with the Globes and SAG giving it some major nominations. Hacksaw Ridge also feels like it is pretty safe at the moment, given all of the awards love. Although a Mel Gibson backlash is always on the horizon. Arrival is one that I expect will start to do much better, especially as these tech guilds begin to announce. Those are my eight nominations if the last two years repeat in terms of total nominees. But on the off-chance that there more than eight, I am going with SAG ensemble nominee Hidden Figures, which has the historical, feel-good, actor-driven vote, and Florence Foster Jenkins. I had not had FFJ anywhere close to the top ten in a while, but it did well at SAG and the Globes, and when I started redoing my tech predictions, I realized it could be in play across a lot of categories. So many branches recognizing it across the board puts it in a much better position that I had initially assumed it would be in. Silence looks like it could get some nominations, but unless the guilds go for it, I don't see a lot of support. Jackie, Sully, Loving, and 20th Century Women all looked like big contenders early on. While I think all will land nominations in at least one category, guild surprises are the only way they get back into the BP race. Beyond that, there are a lot of titles, and beyond Captain Fantastic, Nocturnal Animals, and Patriots Day, I don't think any really are in the hunt.

Kenneth Lonergan "Manchester By the Sea"
Barry Jenkins "Moonlight"
Other Contenders - Martin Scorsese "Silence", Mel Gibson "Hacksaw Ridge", David MacKenzie "Hell or High Water", Garth Davis "Lion", Theodore Melfi "Hidden Figures", Stephen Frears "Florence Foster Jenkins", Jeff Nichols "Loving", Jeff Nichols "Midnight Special", Clint Eastwood "Sully", Pablo Larrain "Jackie", Mike Mills "20th Century Women", Peter Berg "Patriot's Day", Jon Favreau "The Jungle Book", Maren Ade "Toni Erdmann", Ben Affleck "Live By Night", Tom Ford "Nocturnal Animals", Matt Ross "Captain Fantastic", Yorgos Lanthimos "The Lobster"
Commentary - We know three are in for sure, as Lonergan, Chazelle, and Jenkins feel like solid bets at this point. The last two slots are tricky, and with this directing branch, you just never know. Martin Scorsese is a favorite, and if any branch is going to appreciate Silence it is going to be the Directors. Mel Gibson, another previous winner might finally be forgiven, and Hell or High Water is a modern western masterpiece. Instead, I am going with Denis Villenueve, who brilliant constructs Arrival, and Denzel Washington. In this year of auteurs, maybe Washington doesn't make sense. But I think there is so much love for him in this Academy, that he will make the cut. That leaves the directors of Lion, Hidden Figures, Florence Foster Jenkins, Loving, Jackie, 20th Century Women, Clint Eastwood, Tom Ford, and Ben Affleck on the outside looking in.
