2018 Awards Season Scorecard: How the Oscar Nominees Stack Up
The 2018 Oscar nominees are a talented bunch, and we couldn't even begin to choose our favorites in each category. Luckily, we don't have to — but Academy voters do. We'll find out on Sunday who they've chosen as their winners, but in the meantime, take a look at how the nominees have fared so far this awards season, at the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards, the Critics' Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, and the National Board of Review Awards.

Best Picture: Of the nine nominees, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has the most Best Picture hardware so far, with a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama and two BAFTAs for Best Film and Outstanding British Film. Six of the other nominees have won one award each: Get Out (Critics' Choice for Best Sci-Fi or Horror Movie), Lady Bird (Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy), The Big Sick (Critics' Choice for Best Comedy), The Post (National Board of Review Award for Best Film), The Shape of Water (Critics' Choice for Best Picture), and Wonder Woman (Critics' Choice for Best Action Movie).

Best Actor: Gary Oldman is the favorite in this category, with four Best Actor wins at other awards shows — the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the SAG Awards, and the BAFTAs — for his performance in Darkest Hour. Of the other nominees, Call Me By Your Name's Timothée Chalamet has a Breakthrough Performance Award from the National Board of Review, and Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya has a Rising Star Award from the BAFTAs.

Best Actress:Three Billboards star Frances McDormand has ruled the Best Actress race so far, with wins at the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the SAG Awards, and the BAFTAs. Lady Bird's Saoirse Ronan, The Post's Meryl Streep, and I, Tonya's Margot Robbie have one win each, from the Golden Globes, the National Board of Review, and the Critics' Choice Awards, respectively.

Best Supporting Actor: This category is Sam Rockwell's to lose. He has four Supporting Actor wins for his performance in Three Billboards, from the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the SAG Awards, and the BAFTAs. The Florida Project's Willem Dafoe is the only other nominee with a major win this season, from the National Board of Review. (Photo via Merrick Morton/Twentieth Century Fox)
Best Supporting Actress: We love everyone in this category, but there can be only one winner — and our money is on Allison Janney. The I, Tonya standout has already taken home Supporting Actress trophies from the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the SAG Awards, and the BAFTAs. Lady Bird's Laurie Metcalf has one win, from the National Board of Review. (Photo via Neon/30 West)
Best Director:The Shape of Water director Guillermo Del Toro has been the favorite in this category so far, with wins at the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, and the BAFTAs. But both Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) and Jordan Peele (Get Out) earned recognition from the National Board of Review, for Best Director and Best Directorial Debut, respectively.

Best Animated Feature: Pixar is usually a pretty safe bet at the Oscars, and this year is no different. Coco has won the Animated Feature category at every major awards show this year, including the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the National Board of Review Awards, and the BAFTAs.

Best Original Score:The Shape of Water composer Alexandre Desplat is the likely winner here, having already triumphed at the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, and the BAFTAs. (Photo via Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Best Adapted Screenplay: This is a tougher race to call, since Adapted Screenplay isn't a featured category at every awards show, but Call Me By Your Name writer James Ivory has three wins so far, from the Critics' Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Writers Guild Awards. That puts him just slightly ahead of Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who wrote The Disaster Artist and have one win from the National Board of Review.

Best Original Screenplay:Get Out writer/director Jordan Peele and Three Billboards writer/director Martin McDonagh are tied at two wins each in the Best Original Screenplay category. Peele won the Critics' Choice Award and the Writers Guild Award, while McDonagh won the Golden Globe and the BAFTA. (Photo via Universal Pictures)
Best Original Song: Only two major awards shows this year, the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, have had a Best Song category, and each had a different winner. "This Is Me," from The Greatest Showman, won at the Golden Globes, while "Remember Me," from Coco, won at the Critics' Choice Awards. (Photo via Niko Tavernise/Twentieth Century Fox)
