Oscar Predictions: Best Picture. The Oscar race is heading toward the finish. Here’s the Oscar timeline, with our prediction charts below. READ MORE: 2. 01. Oscar Predictions. Launching at Sundance was writer- director Kenneth Lonergan’s emotionally devastating drama “Manchester By the Sea,” starring Best Actor frontrunner Casey Affleck and strong Supporting players Michelle Williams and Lucas Hedges. Amazon Studios (with distributor Roadside Attractions) has fared better in the Oscar derby than rival Netflix did last year with “Beasts of No Nation,” landing their first Best Picture contender among six nominations.

Their more conventional, theatrically- friendly approach is showing great success. Casey Affleck, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, MIchelle Williams, Matt Damon and Kenneth Lonergan.

Breaking out of the Cannes Film Festival in May was David Mackenzie’s modern western “Hell or High Water,” starring Supporting nominee Jeff Bridges as a Texas marshall chasing bank robber brothers Chris Pine and Ben Foster. Original Screenplay for Taylor Sheridan, marking CBS Films’ first Best Picture nod.

Among a more diverse set of contenders than last year, “Loving,” the heart- tugging Jeff Nichols true romance that emerged from Cannes, a well- told true biracial romance, yielded a Best Actress nomination for Irish actress Ruth Negga. The fall fests proved a crucible for a raft of other critics’ faves.“Hacksaw Ridge”Summit Entertainment.

Venice introduced “Jackie,” Pablo Larrain’s first film in English, starring Natalie Portman as JFK’s grieving widow, which Fox Searchlight scooped up in Toronto for December 9th release. Portman won the Critics’ Choice award along with Globe, SAG and Oscar nominations. Also playing well at Venice was “Braveheart” Oscar- winner Mel Gibson’s tough World War II war movie “Hacksaw Ridge” (Lionsgate, November 4), which reminded critics and audiences of what an effective director he is. Lauded Andrew Garfield landed a Best Actor nomination — as a sensitive but tough Pacifist medic who wants to serve his country by not killing people but by saving their lives — and the film scored Picture, Director and a total of six nominations as well.

At least some members of the Academy have forgiven Gibson his trespasses. Telluride broke out Damien Chazelle’s audacious musical romance “La La Land,” starring singer- dancers Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, which wound up with 1. Oscar nominations, tying “Titanic” and “All About Eve,” as well as Barry Jenkins’ coming- of- age ensemble drama “Moonlight” (A2.

Both scored Critics Choice, Globe, SAG nominations while the film landed, finally, six Oscar nominations, including Picture and Supporting players Kidman and Patel, but not DGA nominee Garth Davis. And writer Luke Davies won the Adapted Screenplay award at the BAFTAs.

Mike Mills’ affectionate 1. Santa Barbara family drama, “2. Century Women,” starring Annette Bening in a rich leading role as a single mom raising her teen son.

Bening grabbed Critics Choice and Globe nominations, but no SAG, BAFTA or Oscar slots. Mills landed the film’s only Oscar nomination, for Original Screenplay. Riding an end- of- the- year box office surge was Ted Melfi’s real- life female empowerment drama “Hidden Figures” (Fox 2. Taraji P. Henson, Jonelle Monae and Globe, SAG and Oscar nominee Octavia Spencer as three African- American NASA math whizzes who helped to send astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
