I, Tonya, Written by Steven Rogers; Neon

Lady Bird, Written by Greta Gerwig; A24

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

Call Me by Your Name, Screenplay by James Ivory; Based on the Novel by André Aciman; Sony Pictures Classics

The Disaster Artist, Screenplay by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber; Based on the Book The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell; A24

Logan, Screenplay by Scott Frank & James Mangold and Michael Green; Story by James Mangold; Based on Characters from the X-Men Comic Books and Theatrical Motion Pictures; Twentieth Century Fox Film

Molly’s Game, Screenplay by Aaron Sorkin; Based on the Book by Molly Bloom; STX Entertainment

McDonagh was ineligible, so Three Billboards was projected to miss. The Post, however, was eligible and it missed. Together with its SAG absence, that is a real blow to its chances.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

I do think the age of the precursor-as-rule is ending but this isn't good for the Post.

Logan is showing a surprising amount of strength at this point in the race. If Fox really wanted to, they could've probably run a campaign for Stewart and might've been able to muscle him in. I do agree that we're in a trend-breaking stage, but guild love is still crucial and even with as late a showing as The Post had, you'd still think it would have had enough strength of support to break into one or both of these guilds.

I think Adapted Screenplay is really Logan's best shot instead of Stewart (as fantastic as he was). The completion for the fifth slot in Adapted is weak as hell.

I think that's looking possible, but I still think it gets into something like Editing or even some random tech like Costume Design or Score.

I actually forgot it got an ACE Eddie nomination, though given how strong the comedy section is this year, that may not be enough.

Very happy for Original screenplay overall besides The Big Sick, which I can't see as anything more than this year's My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Haven't seen Phantom Thread, but I wished PTA got a nod. Was it eligible?
Also happy for CMBYN and Logan.

Phantom Thread was eligible. It wasn't on the ineligibility list and PTA has been nominated by them before.
