2018 Academy Awards (US)

The Best Picture race is the most wide open for years which makes it a lot more exciting.I saw Three Billboards this weekend and really loved it although CMBYN or Get Out would still be my BP pick.

Michelle Williams could squeeze in for BA. You never know. The Academy already loves her, and she might gain more sympathy from them because of the latest controversy regarding the pay gap between her and Mark Wahlberg.
