going to say who we think will win instead of
ugh the whole category from now on. Did that
icture because it's pretty important.
Best Actress
Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
Missouri
Strong woman but not a role model. McDormand has
already won at Golden Globes. Some really good acting
by Frances.
Beat Actor
Gary Oldman - Darkest Hour
If it takes you four hours to get ready to play Churchill
and you're good as well, you should win.
Best Supporting Actress
Mary J Blige - Mudbound
Mudbound was just a three hour acting lesson and Blige
was the teacher. Best of the cast so should win.
Best Supporting Actor
Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
Missouri
Character with the biggest heart in Three Billboards.
Rockwell is scary yet compassionate. Powerful yet
weak. Definitely deserves to win.
Best Director
Christopher Nolan - Dunkirk
That's a lot of people on that beach. And also one of the
best living directors. Hopefully he will win?
Best Original Screenplay
The Big Sick
Absolute personal opinion. Love this rom-com so much
and over the moon its nominated. Rest are amazing
scripts though.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Call Me By Your Name
Cool. Logan got nominated. This story is wonderful
thanks to the script. Takes geniuses to do that to a
peach.
Unlike last time, The Inkling will have correctly
predicted every single one of these down to the point.
Join us at Easter for our celebratory prediction party as
we got hundred percent of them correct. Let’s hope so.
