Predictions are in boldface, followed by those which I personally would nominate in italics. As with previous years' lists, for several categories I have NOT provided my own nominations, since frankly I know jack about costumes, sound and so forth, though more and more I try to pay attention to sound in particular. Films that I have listed as my own personal nominations yet which will definitely not be nominated -- either because they are ultimately ineligible in those categories or simply not shortlisted -- are marked with an asterisk.
The actual nominations will be announced this Thursday morning around 5:30 am (Pacific Time). I would have finished this list earlier, but things have been rather distracting in Los Angeles County for the last week or two. You may have seen some pictures in the news.
