A COMPLETE UNKNOWN remains unseen, but Chalamet is already a major Best Actor contender.
I recently posted about the Best Director Oscar race, and how the same five men seem to be on almost every prognosticator list in town.
A similar thing seems to be happening in the Best Actor Oscar race as well. Almost anywhere you go, these five names seem to fill everyone's list...

Will THE BRUTALIST's "big bold vision" secure Brady Corbet his first Oscar nomination?
While The Film Experience writers gear up for their own Oscar predictions, I (probably like you) spend my time on several other industry sites to see what the current predictions are.
This is a super fun time of the year, because nobody is out with citations or nominations, so it's not yet thuddeningly predictable. Which makes it all the more surprising is that everywhere I read, almost ALL the forecasters seem to have the same five names listed as our nominees for the Best Director Oscar...

some of the shorts contenders we're most curious about after investigating the titles
For better or worse all of the Oscar predictions are completed including the last three hold outs: Live Action Short, Animated Short, and Documentary Short. Though we have yet to see the shorts (that'll have to wait until nominations) predictions were made via an unholy combo of hunches, IMDb ratings, plot descriptions, tea leaves, blind faith, coin tossing, and a teensy bit but not much of seeing what other people around the web are saying but never following that exactly because nobody ever scores 5/5 in all shorts categories. Including me, of course, but there's always a first time. Maybe?

Coco here, ready to talk about the current Oscar race and those crazy SAG awards in particular.
As you already know, the Screen Actors Guild decided to honor the best acting of 2015 in the most bizarre way possible; handing the most nominations to blacklist Hollywood drama Trumbo, and nominating a number of performances whose inclusion range from surprising to outright insane.
Don't worry, I'm not here to defend SAG's ridiculous choices. I'm here to do what The Film Experience best at: speculate about Oscar nominations. See, the other day I saw someone on Twitter say he'd be surprised if any of this year's SAG categories are repeated 5-for-5 at the Oscars. This comment got me thinking...
Although the amount of correlation between SAG and Oscar has gone down a bit in the last couple years, the math still says that at least one of Oscar's acting categories will look identical to SAG's. The question I'm here to answer is: which one?
Lots of awards spaculation after the jump.
