The Best Picture field will have a guaranteed 10 nominees this year, and there are around 15 plausible-ish candidates vying for the slots.
That said, these 10 have enjoyed the most success on the circuit so far, with the only real question mark being Being the Ricardos, which missed out on top-tier nominations from the DGA, Critics' Choice, and Golden Globes.
It could theoretically be replaced by any of the following: Drive My Car, The Lost Daughter, Nightmare Alley, Parallel Mothers, Spencer, or The Tragedy of Macbeth.
The clear industry enthusiasm for Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem's performances, however, makes Being the Ricardos the most likely to nab spot #10. If any of the other nine movies miss out, it'd be a major shock.
