Best Actress: Like Oldman, numerous Hollywood film experts are sure that Frances McDormand will win the Best Actress Award for her outstanding work in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Best Director: Guillermo del Toro of The Shape of Water is a clear winner of the category. But if Toro wins, tradition has it that the movie that wins the Best Director will win the Best Picture. Let's wait and see if the tradition would change this year.
Best Actor and Actress in Supporting Role: I, Tonya's star Allison Janney is riding high on the Best Actress in a Supporting role category whereas Sam Rockwell is predicted to take home the supporting actor for his outstanding role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
