Thank you. I was too lazy to write out the list of what was announced today and was hoping that someone would put it up soon.

The Death of Stalin wasn't announced; although, there's still time for it to be added later, but I might have to drop it from my predictions besides Adapted Screenplay if IFC doesn't seem serious about promoting it. From looking at Armando Iannucci's Twitter, it's likely it will go to the London Film Festival, but I don't think that would be enough necessarily.

The Darkest Hour and The Shape of Water are doing Telluride, TIFF, and Venice, so maybe I'm underestimating those two films. Although I could see The Darkest Hour being like The Danish Girl with it winning an acting Oscar but missing Best Picture and Director. I'm still not sure what to think of The Shape of Water. Pan's Labyrinth would have been nominated in an expanded lineup, but I feel that del Toro has used up most if not all of his goodwill from that. Plus, while it may be sentimental in the same vein as Lion, I still have major doubts about AMPAS going for it. There's no kids involved, as far as I know it wouldn't be considered a "message" movie or "inspirational" movie, and I don't really have any confidence in Del Toro now.

For the Best Actress race, it looks like there's quite few that could surprise at TIFF (Annette Bening, Halle Berry, Jessica Chastain, Glenn Close, Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Thompson, Rachel Weisz), but I still think it's between Streep and Winslet with maybe Dench being a dark horse if she can win at Venice. She'd then have the advantage of going into the race as the favorite since Streep's and Winslet's films are screening so late.

Streep, Dench and Winslet are all seem very strong possibilities indeed. I was not impressed by Erguven's directorial skills in "Mustang", so I have zero faith in Berry's film. Glenn Close may have her "Still Alice" moment but Bening has a stronger chance if the film delivers; she's the jury president in Venice (in where there film may appear out of comp.), four time nominee, snubbed last year, supposedly showy role etc. so the narrative is there. Not sure of "Disobedience", as the leading actress seems so packed but then there's wide open supporting actress category where McAdams can get it in even if Weisz misses the lead. Now that "Lady Bird" says "international premiere", I assume it'll get a Telluride premiere as well? Saoirse is certainly loved and it seems like a role total opposite of "Brooklyn", I'll root for her and Greta Gerwig to get in.

Actress race will be strong in general. There are also:
Jennifer Lawrence (mother!) - Academy favorite. Venice premeire is possible.
Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) - Academy may or may not finally embrace McDonagh. we'll se.
Rooney Mara (Mary Magdalane) - Weinstein's main push it seems but I highly doubt she can get in for a Biblical film directed by totally uninspiring director.
Helen Mirren (The Leisure Seeker) - surprised that it's not here but the film may be added later. I'm sure it'll be in Venice comp and do fine as Virzi films usually get mostly positive reception. Though probably SPC will push Sutherland harder than her given the overdue status. I won't be surprised if he'd win the best actor prize in Venice or something as I believe his fanboy in the jury Edgar Wright will certainly be trying for it to happen.
Julianne Moore (Suburbicon) & Claire Foy (Breathe) - they both may go supporting though, I don't know.
