The best: Although its biggest win to date is Lady Gaga tying for a Critics' Choice best actress honor, “A Star Is Born” is a shoo-in for a best picture nomination, having already received nods from 11 different movie guilds, including an important one for SAG cast. Directors Guild of America nominees have all ended up in the race for best picture since 2012, which is good news for “Star,” “Roma” (which won Critics' Choice best film), “Green Book” (the Producers Guild's best film), “BlacKkKlansman” and “Vice.”
The rest: “Bohemian Rhapsody” upsetting “Star” for best drama at the Globes and the Queen biopic being in the SAG ensemble category – another key bellwether – gives it a fighting chance to make the cut. The category can have up to 10 films, so SAG nominees “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Black Panther” have a leg up on the others clawing for the remaining spots: Producers Guild nominees “The Favourite” and “A Quiet Place,” as well as “If Beale Street Could Talk” (which got a Globe nomination for best drama).
ACTOR
The best: Three of the five slots seem pretty set. Christian Bale (“Vice”) and Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) won acting honors at the Globes, Bradley Cooper is likely to make it in off the goodwill for “A Star Is Born,” and all of them are in the SAG actor category.

Will controversies hurt ‘Green Book’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’? Will ‘Beale Street’ get snubbed? Our final gut-checks for this year’s nominees in the major categories.
The Oscars race has increasingly become a referendum on our national mood and culture. This year, that mood seems to be: chaos and anger.
The entire awards season has been mired with as much drama behind-the-scenes at the Academy—Best Popular Film! Kevin Hart!—as there has been on screen in this year’s Oscar frontrunners. And those frontrunners have courted even more controversy than we’ve been conditioned to expect from the reliably contentious campaign trail.
Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, and Vice have all weathered significant amounts of backlash and outrage—and yet all still stand to rake in loads of mentions when the 2019 Oscar nominations are announced Tuesday morning.
In advance of the announcement, we’ve flagged five major talking points to look out for, and included our final predictions for the biggest categories.
Which blockbusters will get into Best Picture?
Black Panther is looking like a lock for Best Picture, which would make it the first superhero movie to get the big nod, and Bohemian Rhapsody somehow seems certain now, too, despite critical backlash, factual inaccuracies, and the fact that its director was fired from set mid-production and is currently the subject of alleged sexual assault accusations. But if the Academy goes for nine or 10 nominees, that makes room one or more of Mary Poppins Returns, Crazy Rich Asians, and A Quiet Place to join them. All three are still dark horse contenders, but close enough in the race that it could happen.
