These 4 are a lock. There's no way any other film will win those other than Dunkirk. People have to remember, that Baby Driver and Blade Runner 2049 wont be nominated for Best Picture. That affects the final outcome. Voters are much more comfortable voting for a film that has a Best Picture nomination.
Which is why Zimmer could lose to Desplat for score. People talk a lot about Blade Runner's score, but from what I've heard, The Shape of Water is the real contender. The Academy love Desplat, and The Shape of Water is 100% going to win more major awards than Dunkirk. So if the score is good, which apparently it is, he could easily take that win. And then you still have BR as an underdog. Score isn't nearly as much of a safe pick as the others you mentioned.

Yeah, let's not jump the gun by saying anything is a lock.

That's how you guarantee that the lock gets unlocked. :lol:

They *usually* go for Best Picture nominees, so that works for Dunkirk. Even if it only manages to get those two wins in the end, I'd say that's still a great outcome.
This film deserves way more than Editing and Sound Editing awards.

Desplat is the front-runner. Greenwood is not far behind. Hardly a lock unfortunate as it is.


Tonight will be disappointing yo.

I don't disagree with you there, I just think it's best for us to see the glass half full.

And yeah, don't expect anything tonight.
