CHANCE AT NOMINATION:
Lock: It would be a major shock if these selections weren’t nominated. The buzz would be deafening.
Good Bet: There isn’t much of a chance that this nominee will be left off the list, but stranger things have happened.
Maybe: These are the achievements that I think are fighting for the slots not taken up by the others above. None of these selections are safe and could be bumped off by any other title with the “Dark Horse” description.
Dark Horse: Contenders that aren’t very likely, but could end up as “surprise” nominees.
Unlikely: These are outside contenders that have been in the conversation, but whose prospects have dimmed over time. They remain on the list because sometimes the Academy does some strange stuff.
