Surprising results this month, considering the top 3 films last month were all within a 2-vote distance and things haven't changed that much since then... except maybe the fact that our frontrunner has now been released and some people have been able to better judge its potential. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri hits a lot of boxes in the current social climate, and has the audience and critic support to push it all the way, although it remains to be seen if the Academy will embrace such a dark comedy. The most surprising part though comes from The Shape of Water's debacle, going down from 18 votes to just 4. What's up with that? Its early release next month might correct this... or not. Meanwhile, The Post, helped by its recent trailer, more or less holds its stand, only losing 2 votes, while Dunkirk inexplicably regains some of its strength, going up from 7 to 15 votes, tying with Spielberg's film. I guess the lack of better options is leading some people back towards our early frontrunner of the year. Call Me by Your Name comes in 4th at 7 votes, 5 less than last month's, while Lady Bird ties with Del Toro's movie. Interesting results indeed, showing how unpredictable this race is shaping up to be... at least until next month when the precursors starting giving us a better idea. For now, the interest is peaking, as shown by the highest turnout so far (90 votes from both OBers and MARers):
1. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 38 votes 2. Dunkirk - 15 votes 2. The Post - 15 votes 4. Call Me by Your Name - 7 votes 5. Lady Bird - 4 votes 5. The Shape of Water - 4 votes 7. Get Out - 2 votes 7. Phantom Thread - 2 votes 9. Darkest Hour - 1 vote 9. The Florida Project - 1 vote 9. I, Tonya - 1 vote

I believe we usually have the bp winner listed by now. If we based that list on our track record, then we are missing approx. 4 bp nominees. Well, maybe just 3. I guess I would add the following:
The Big Sick Mudbound The Disaster Artist
is it possible that Beauty and the Beast sneaks in??
