• Saoirse Ronan, Lady Bird
• Kristen Stewart, Personal Shopper
Previous "nominations": Stewart gets her third consecutive nomination, following her Supporting Actress win for Clouds of Sils Maria and her 3rd-place finish in the same category last year for Certain Women. (The last actor who landed in the top five three years in a row was Joaquin Phoenix, 2012–14. Nobody's ever done four.) Nixon previously placed 3rd in Supporting for James White (2015).

• Timothée Chalamet, Call Me by Your Name
• Daniel Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread
• Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out
• Robert Pattinson, Good Time
• Vince Vaughn, Brawl in Cell Block 99
Previous "nominations": Only Day-Lewis, who finishes his career (assuming he sticks to his announced retirement) with four total nominations, two shy of the current all-time record (held by Cate Blanchett). He's won both Actor (There Will Be Blood, 2007) and Supporting Actor (Gangs of New York, 2002), and also finished 2nd in Actor for Lincoln (2012).
Overlap with Oscar nominees: Chalamet, Day-Lewis, Kaluuya.

Best Supporting Actress
• Holly Hunter, The Big Sick

• Michelle Pfeiffer, mother!
• Bria Vinaite, The Florida Project
Previous "nominations": Just Manville, who placed 3rd in this category for Another Year (2010). Though Hunter and Pfeiffer are getting their first nominations only because their respective heydays predate the Skandies. (Nice to see 53 as the average age in one of the female acting categories—only Vinaite is younger than 59!)
Overlap with Oscar nominees: Manville, Metcalf.
Just missed: Mary J. Blige, Mudbound (#21); Hong Chau, Downsizing (#22); Catherine Keener, Get Out (#23); Kirin Kiki, After the Storm (#24); Fantine Harduin, Happy End (#25).

Best Screenplay
• Paul Thomas Anderson, Phantom Thread
• Noah Baumbach, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
• Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird
• Jordan Peele, Get Out
• S. Craig Zahler, Brawl in Cell Block 99
Previous "nominations": Baumbach—whose film finished 38th in Picture!—trails only the Coen Brothers all-time, with six nominations (to their eight). He won outright in 2005 for The Squid and the Whale, and has also placed 4th for Margot at the Wedding (2007), 5th for Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009, written with Wes Anderson), 2nd for Frances Ha (2013, written with Greta Gerwig), and 4th for Mistress America (2015, also written with Gerwig). And, hey, that also covers Gerwig, who gets her third nomination, first solo. PTA, now with four, won for There Will Be Blood in 2007 and also placed 4th for The Master (2012) and 3rd for Inherent Vice (2014).
Overlap with Oscar nominees: Gerwig, Peele. But not Anderson, weirdly.
Just missed: Nacho Vigalondo, Colossal (#21); Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor, Downsizing (#22); Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk (#23); Yorgos Lanthimos & Efthymis Filippou, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (#24); Jérôme Reybaud, 4 Days in France (#25).
Not so much: Kumail Nanjiani & Emily V. Gordon, The Big Sick (#29); Aaron Sorkin, Molly's Game (#32, big shocker imo); Guillermo Del Toro & Vanessa Taylor, The Shape of Water (#34); Scott Frank & James Mangold and Michael Green, Logan (#46); Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber, The Disaster Artist (no votes); Dee Rees and Virgil Williams, Mudbound (no votes).

Readjusting final predictions:
Actress:
1. Ronan
2. Krieps
3. Nixon
4. Stewart
5. Richardson
Actor:
1. Kaluuya
2. Day-Lewis
3. RPatz
4. Chalamet
5. Vaughn
Supporting Actor:
1. Dafoe (side note: have also been entertaining the notion that Keoghan would win, but decided the Skandies crew tends to favour naturalism over mannered idiosyncrasy. Though that might just be a related to my distaste for Keoghan's perf- if anything, he gives a more interesting turn in Dunkirk.)
2. Keoghan (but I predict he'll have more voters than Stuhlbarg)
3. Stuhlbarg
4. Romano
5. Hammer
Supporting Actress:
1. Manville
2. Metcalf
3. Vinaite
4. Pfeiffer
5. Hunter
Everything else is a bit up in the air right now. And Mike, can I ask: did Howery receive any votes? Figured he'd scrape at least the bottom of the top 20 for that Eyes Wide Shut rant alone, or even that phone scene with Williams (who also has been surprisingly unpopular).
Only one vote for Howery. Three votes for Lakeith Stanfield, who was only two points shy of appearing among the just-misses.
Dancaster Lodd predicted:
"Actress:
1. Ronan
2. Krieps
3. Nixon
4. Stewart
5. Richardson"
Well I am hoping you have underestimated the passion of the K-Stew contingent. I'd be a little surprised if she didn't crack the top 3 but stranger things have happened.
Had assumed the Sallittists had been mezzo-mezzo on the Assayas (I recall Sallitt dissing it on Twitter?). I just can't see KStew winning when Ronan seems so blatantly obvious to me. But anyway, I'm not a voter, so...
This is the Dardennes' first whiff in the Skandies era -- all of their films save ROSETTA placed in the Top 20, and that film at least had Dequenne make the Top 20 in her category. It doesn't sound like either the film or Haenel were even close.
(Kaaluya, Stewart, Keoghan, Manville)
"This is the Skandies' first whiff in the Dardennes era..."
FTFY bud
Last year also saw the first narrative Malick film to be completely ignored. (Even Bilge didn't top ten Song to Song, though it did get one lonely vote from Jeremy.)
When Columbus didn't show up among the films, I'd resigned myself to Richardson being forgotten as well. Good job other buds for at least recognizing her awesomeness.
I put Haenel #1 in a strong field.
