Here we go.
After one of the wildest and most unpredictable Oscar seasons in recent memory with regards to the top category, Best Picture, the Gold Rush Gang and myself have finally settled on our final Oscar winner predictions. Or have we?

Three films have #1 spots among the 10 members: The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Get Out. Each of those films comes in with statistical obstacles to overcome. The Shape of Water has the most nominations, won PGA and DGA but missed SAG ensemble (La La Land redux), Three Billboards missed Director (and Martin McDonaugh is no Ben Affleck here) and Get Out got no craft nominations – an 84-year stat. Jason is looking to Lady Bird as a possible spoiler on Sunday, putting it in 2nd behind The Shape of Water. Regardless of what wins, there will be a lot of post-mortem conversation on Monday morning. We’ll be looking at some stats as vulnerable in the future and see which ones are still standing to go another round next season.
