HISTORY:
Gray is working his way down the ladder, having placed 10th for Two Lovers (2009) and 11th for The Immigrant (2014).
Gyllenhaal nearly won Best Actor three years ago, finishing 2nd for Nightcrawler, and also placed 7th in Supporting for Brokeback Mountain (2005). Letts landed at #15 in the same category last year for Indignation. Both women are new (and Tshanda Beya would surely have placed higher had more than a handful of voters seen Félicité).
Hong's screenplays for Woman on the Beach (2008), Night and Day (2009), The Day He Arrives (2012), and Right Now, Wrong Then (2016) placed 11th, 13th, 17th, and 10th, respectively.

Yes.
LADY BIRD is the film I didn't catch before deadline that I regret missing the most. Will catch up eventually.
How high can PERSONAL SHOPPER go?
Probably 11 after that jinx.
LADY BIRD is fine but is the film I have the most trouble understanding why it's getting so many PROs. Feels like one of the most overrated things ever. I can usually at least figure out why, when films I don't love get other love, but LADY BIRD has me flummoxed. And I've read a shit-ton of writing on it. Still shrug. But you do you, LB lovers.
How high can PERSONAL SHOPPER go?
It's at least Top 10. #11 is probably either GOOD TIME or A QUIET PASSION.
