It’s the story of Elisa, a young mute woman who works at a government lab in the early 60’s when a strange creature is brought in, captured in the South American jungle. On the surface, this is a Sci-Fi or Fantasy film. He’s been proving for years that his films are a visual delight and that his stories, when they are focused, are fascinating and bizarre and wonderful and you never know what you might find. There’s no question that he would have been an easy winner in that one. It is unfortunate for Guillermo del Toro that the category is called Best Original Screenplay and not Most Original Screenplay.

The Results: Those were reacted to here, but then you go back to the post linked just above and follow after the nominations through the rest of the race.įish man is an upgrade from egg timer. It is very long because it includes observations about every category, not just Picture. It will be interesting if this group follows through since both Christopher Nolan and Joe Wright have made Best Picture nominated films but have yet to be nominated for Best Director.Īt this point, to follow the race, go here and you can follow it as I continually updated the post starting at the beginning of December and running all the way through to the Oscars, including my actual predictions, the day before the nominations were announced.

Among the films still unseen, The Post (listed by Gurus as The Papers) is way out in front, followed distantly by the still untitled P.T. On the Festival list, Darkest Hour, The Shape of Water and Downsizing are in just about a three way tie. Among the already released group, Dunkirk is way out in front, with Get Out coming up slowly behind (with, it doesn’t seem, a lot of support, but just without another film to get behind, which is interesting since Call Me By Your Name is 4th on that list). The Gurus have once again split things up into various groups. Those are followed by The Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name and Darkest Hour. The two films out in front by far at GoldDerby are Dunkirk (solid predictions of nomination, almost half predict a win) and The Post (most predict a nomination and a third predict a win).

Rank (out of 90) Among Best Picture Years: #10ġ6 September: The Gurus have chimed in and GoldDerby has long had odds up, so I guess it’s time to get started.
