As the year comes to an end, we look back and realize that roughly 40 critics groups have announced nominations and wins. And many are quick to remind us: “critic’s don’t vote for the Oscars.” So the big question is…why do they matter? The main answer is they create a consensus. Academy Voters have proved time and time again that they love to follow the consensus when it comes time to fill out their own ballots. We have been keeping track of all of the mentions and wins from critics groups throughout the season so far. So, in order to give you some context on where the race stands as of today, we have posted the critics consensus factoring in total mentions/nominations and wins below. Click below to check them out. Keep in mind that while some of these are consensus mentions are certainly enlightening (Sean Baker in Best Director, Apes in Original Score), some are misleading as certain films have already been disqualified thanks to some of the Academy shortlists which were announced (While "The Shape Of Water" has been mentioned by critics groups in Best Makeup the second most, it is no longer eligible to compete for the Oscar). All of the following categories are ranked from most mentions to least and ARE NOT OUR PREDICTIONS. BEST PICTURE Get Out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri The Shape Of Water Lady Bird Dunkirk The Florida Project Call Me By Your Name The Post Phantom Thread The Big Sick BEST DIRECTOR Guillermo Del Toro - The Shape Of Water Christopher Nolan - Dunkirk Jordan Peele - Get Out Greta Gerwig - Lady Bird Sean Baker - The Florida Project BEST ACTOR Gary Oldman - Darkest Hour Timothee Chalamet - Call Me By Your Name James Franco - The Disaster Artist Daniel Kaluuya - Get Out Daniel Day Lewis - Phantom Thread BEST ACTRESS Sally Hawkins - The Shape Of Water Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Saoirse Ronan - Lady Bird Margot Robbie - I, Tonya Jessica Chastain - Molly’s Game BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Laurie Metcalf - Lady Bird Allison Janney - I, Tonya Holly Hunter - The Big Sick Mary J.
