9. Nightmare Alley

The fact that Guillermo del Toro made a Best Picture and Best Director-winning movie about a woman who falls in love with a fish-monster is really all the proof you need that the Academy loves this man.

And so, his upcoming psychological thriller Nightmare Alley is an immediate awards contender, with Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Actor (Bradley Cooper), Actress (Cate Blanchett), Supporting Actor (Richard Jenkins), and Supporting Actress (Toni Collette) all possible above-the-line awards.

Crafts is where del Toro is a safest bet, though: wins for Best Production Design, Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Cinematography, Sound, Original Score, and Film Editing would surprise absolutely nobody.
