Published by

January 19, 2018 10:37 am

It’s all come down to this, the FINAL Oscar nomination predictions of the 2018 Oscar season. Collectively, the Gold Rush Gang is predicting The Shape of Water to lead the nominations with 14, followed by Dunkirk with 9, Get Out and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with 7, I, Tonya with 6 and a handful of films coming in with 5 apiece: Darkest Hour, Lady Bird and Blade Runner 2049. Call Me By Your Name comes in at 4.

For Best Picture, each member reveals how many BP nominees there will be. For most other categories, the 1-10 ranking stays in place. Check out the charts for individual predictions to see who you agree with, who will wind up the champ on Tuesday morning and who needs to hang up their prediction hat.

Erik Anderson

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
