Most years I have seen at least the Best Picture nominees, and that is true again this year. I only saw two of those in theaters and the rest at home. My primary source was GoldDerby (the predictions by the experts, editors, top 24, and all-star 24). The ones that seem to have the least consensus are actor, supporting actress (especially this one!), score, documentary short, and live action short.
