Another package form Fox Searchlight, this time with two major Oscar players.

The Shape of Water

Oscar Chances: Likely: There’s little chance this film doesn’t pick up some nominations. All the craft categories are in play, but it’s well regarded by critics, so it will probably be nominated in several categories above the line as well. This could be one of the few double-digit nomination-getters of the year.
Campaign-Proposed Categories

  • Picture (J. Miles Dale, Guillermo Del Toro)
  • Director (Guillermo Del Toro)
  • Ensemble (Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Doug Jones, Michael Stuhlbarg, Octavia Spencer)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Oscar Chances: Unlikely: Martin McDonagh looks to finally have a major Oscar player on his hands. Although In Bruges was nominated previously, it wasn’t a major player. This one not only has a half dozen categories it will compete in, star Frances McDormand could be in line for a second Oscar.
