Some of 2017's most anticipated films have not even been released yet, but awards handicappers are already hard at work. Nominations for some major awards are still two months away, which means we're dealing with a smattering of educated guesses on top of some wild guesses.
In our compilation below it's important to note two qualifications:
1) the lists are will likely change over the next eight weeks, and we will keep you updated;
2) these films, performances, and achievements do not necessarily coincide with those FilmZ and I consider to be the BEST, but rather most awards-friendly. (We will post our personal favorites sometime after the New Year.)
Below, we have compiled ten major categories as we picture them panning out if award nominations were to be released tomorrow.
Within each group--Frontrunners and Threats--candidates are alphabetically ordered. The favorite in each category is in Bold
