I knew, I knew, I knew, I KNEW that Only The Brave had exemplary special effects! I'm extremely happy to see it nominated here!

The Shape of Water wins PGA.

 

Well, we now know that Three Billboards isn't an undeniable frontrunner.

I don’t think it ever was.  I’d now say it’s a four horse race.

 

Still wouldn’t bet on Shape of Water simply because it missed a SAG nom.  But if it picks up WGA or BAFTA I think it’s winning.

I think del Toro is shoo in for Best Director at this point. He's likely taking home DGA.

I definitely think Del Torro takes Director, but I don’t think Shape of Water wins BP.  Your movie needs acting branch support to win, and The Shape of Water missed an ensemble nod that should have been easy.

If Get out/Lady Bird wins SAG tomorrow, it will make the race that much more interesting!

In any case, the strong correlation between PGA and DGA probably means Del Toro is likely to win DGA. 

With BFCA, PGA and DGA, TSOW could be a really good shape, if not for that SAG ensemble thing....

Definitely will get some acting branch support though, could get to 3 acting nominations.

I was hoping for either Get Out or Lady Bird to take this since Shape of Water looked good for DGA and 3B looks like it'll win SAG ensemble plus Rockwell and McDormad. And considering one of those two movies will probably win at the BAFTAs does Lady Bird and Get Out still have a chance?

A slight one. This might be a year where everybody goes for a different winner (fitting, considering how open it is).

Missing the SAG ensemble nod as an ensemble indicates the acting branch prefers Get Out, Lady Bird, Three Billboards and the Big Sick.  Means SoW will be 5 or 6 on their preferential ballots which won’t edge it over contenders like Three Billboards, Get Out or Lady Bird.

 

I think I’d still place SoW fourth, but give it above a 5% probability of winning it all. Maybe 15-20%, with the other three front runners remaining around 30% likelihood.

I've been thinking for a bit SOW might be second behind 3B, but the SAG snub made me think GO was ahead. It's definitely second now :ohmygod: 

Eh, I think getting a SAG nod trumps a PGA win.  There’s no really clear frontrunner.

 

If I had to guess, my order would be

1. Three Billboards - 30%

2. Lady Bird - 25%

3. Get Out - 25%

4. Shape of Water - 20%

If Three Billboards somehow doesn't win SAG Ensemble despite three individual nominations (including that surprise nomination for Harrelson that nobody took seriously until he got nominated there), then it's definitely gonna look very weak as a supposed frontrunner.

I agree but at the same time, with Gravity, The Revenant, La La Land, and TSOW, it feels as if we're inching closer and closer to finally breaking that SAG ensemble stat. We're somehow constantly ending up with PGA/DGA winner or in the case of LLL, Gravity, potentially TSOW (PGA/DGA double winner) without SAG nomination, it's like a constant tug of war, and eventually, I think something breaks that Stat. 

PGA is definitely still a big deal I think, since it proves TSOW can handle a preferential ballot, while it is also suspected that Three billboards is kind of divisive ( I didn't like it). Despite not predicting Oscar BP for the last two years, PGA had a perfect track record before then since the preferential ballot era. 

Also, if Three billboards wins SAG tonight, it goes into the oscars probably with a lone SAG win. If it doesn't win SAG tonight, it probably goes into the Oscars with zero major guild win.... highly problematic.

Get Out: 20%

Lady Bird: 10%

 

The last two's underperformance at BAFTA raises some red flags, but Lady Bird also didn't win anything at BFCA, which has never happened to a BP winner. The only thing going in its favor is preferential voting.

Except in each of those cases they lost.

 

Id actually say SoW is the least likely to break that stat (along with Revenant) simply because at least LLL sand Gravity weren’t ensemble movies.  Missing Best Ensemble as a very ensemble centric movie is a troubling sign for actor branch support.

 

If anything, I think PGA and DGA are slowly becoming less sure sign indicators of a frontrunner.
