...I'm going to step out on a limb and make a prediction.
The Post with Hanks and Streep will win best picture this year.
3 Billboards, Shape of Water, Florida Project, Lady Bird, Dunkirk maybe Mudbound and a couple of others will split votes.
The Post, about the Washington Post publishing the Pentagon Papers, in spite of Nixon's threats, will resonate with the left-leaning Academy voters in light of today's politics and it will win.
What do you think?

If they showed the final results it wouldn't even make the top 5

  I thought it was a fairly unexceptional film with some big names ie a typical Oscar winner.
It didn't get any Golden Globe Awards, I heard. nt - oldmkvi 15:34:07 01/10/18 (1)

An Oscar long overdue for M Streeb.

The film reminds us what a pile of claptrap (or something that rhymes with that) today's Washington Post is. . - Chris from Lafayette 21:22:40 01/07/18 (4)

        shithole
        NOUN
        
        vulgar slang
        An extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place.
        'this place is a shithole, I hope you know that'
        
        -Oxford Dictionary
        
        To me, this whole tempest in a teapot over the word "shithole" is just trivializing things. Don't get me wrong - I do not support Trump AT ALL. He's a buffoon - and possibly dangerous. But those who oppose him are IMHO being very stupid in their opposition by going after the entirely wrong issues - like this silly "shithole" thing.

Shape of Water?
- Hard to say... - mkuller 16:15:51 01/07/18 (0)
  ...Shape of Water got the most nominations.
  
  But they split them up into two categories that don't make a lot of sense.
Isn't 'The Post' about the Washington Post? * - Billy Wonka 15:08:32 01/07/18 (1)
