Overall nominations
In the non-acting categories, it’s still a wide open race. “Shape of Water,” predicted early to be a favorite, leads “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” by a hair. “Get Out” and “Lady Bird” remain audience and critical favorites as well.

Despite the closeness of these numbers, most are betting on Sam Rockwell for the win. While Willem Dafoe swept the critics awards, Rockwell took the more predictive industry awards. But there is still room for a surprise here.
Director categories
As impossible as it seems, this is Guillermo Del Toro’s first Oscar nomination and he is favored to win. Many feel that Jordan Peele has a better chance in the screenwriting category, but the powerful impact of “Get Out” makes it a potential upset in every category.
