Predictions 2017

And here are my predictions for 2017:

Best picture

Call Me By Your Name
Dunkirk
Get Out
I, Tonya
Lady Bird
The Post
The Shape of Water
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

The Big Sick (if 9)
Darkest Hour (if 10)

The last films were hard to choose. Often British films squeeze in with the Oscars and Darkest Hour might do that.

Best director

Christopher Nolan - Dunkirk
Greta Gerwig - Lady Bird
Guillermo Del Toro - The Shape of Water
Jordan Peele - Get Out
Martin McDonagh - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Best actor

Timothée Chalamet - Call Me By Your Name
Daniel Day Lewis - Phantom Thread
James Franco - The Disaster Artist
Daniel Kaluuya - Get Out
Gary Oldman - Darkest Hour

I thought Tom Hanks (or Denzel Washington) would get nominated instead of James Franco even before the scandal. I had to include James Franco; he probably got too many votes before the scandal broke out.

Best actress

Sally Hawkins - The Shape of Water
Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Margot Robbie - I, Tonya
Saoirse Ronan - Lady Bird
Meryl Streep - The Post

Best supporting actor

Willem Dafoe - The Florida Project
Armie Hammer - Call Me By Your Name
Woody Harrelson - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Richard Jenkins - The Shape of Water
Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Michael Stuhlbarg could get in, but this is my list. Christopher Plummer could be a good choice but as he replaced afterwards another actor, I don't see it happening yet. In a few years it might be that these things won't matter anymore.

Best supporting actress

Mary J. Blige - Mudbound
Hong Chau - Downsizing
Holly Hunter - The Big Sick
Allison Janney - I, Tonya
Laurie Metcalf - Lady Bird

I wonder how Mudbound will be received. With still many conservative views Mary J. Blige could be left out. Kristin Scott Thomas could get in, if Darkest Hour will be liked.
