ST. LOUIS
Spotlight is solidifying its status with critics as the year's Best Picture, while Brie Larson is now dominating everywhere for Best Actress. The supporting categories remain the ones where there's no consensus, although Stallone is racking up the highest number of wins at the moment there. Here's hoping he actually pulls off the Oscar nomination in the end.

NEVADA
An almost identical list to St. Louis, except for Tom Hardy as Supporting Actor and Innaritu for Best Director. this could potentially be a split Picture/Director year, but the problem with that always comes down to finding at least three statues for the Best Picture winner to walk away with- come up with something Spotlight can win besides Picture and Screenplay and then we'll talk about handing director to someone else.

A similar scenario, but Fassbender in Actor and Miller in director. If there is a split this year, I can almost guarantee that George Miller will be the one to benefit from it- the artistic achievement aspect of Mad Max will be what they want to reward.
