Probably this will be easier to say after the oscars have been handed out, but this already came into my mind. Cause there are six movies that have a strong case, they would have been nominated.
Director is (logically) always the closest to Picture and in the classical format with five nominations in each category usually three to five films overlapped and achieved nods in both most important categories.
Of this year's director line-up you have to take Pawlikowski's movie out.
This leaves us with:
BlacKkKlansman
BlacKkKlansman
The Favourite
Roma
Vice
Green Book and A Star is Born were/are viewed as strong contenders to even win Best Picture. So one of them would have made it in at least. But both? And whom would they have replaced?
Green Book is the front runner to win Original Screenplay and has two acting nods, while A Star is Born got three acting nominations.
Of the Director and Picture nominated movies this year, Roma should have had enough passion to make it in and I think BlacKkKlansman would have enough a wide basis, who really liked the movie to get in as well. The Favourite garnered 10 nods, which shows a lot of support. So does this leave Vice as the most vulnerable? It got 3 acting nominations as well.
I actually the 5 would have been:
BlacKkKlansman
The Favourite
Green Book
Roma
Vice
Vice
