( marty ) had the golden globes, all of the critics' and guilds' awards... now it's time for the biggest prize of all. david daniel previews the top categories for today's academy awards. "i would say this has been the tightest race for best picture we've seen in a long time. it's been very competitive." hollywood reporter awards editor rebecca ford says the big award on hollywood's biggest night is still too close to call, with "three billboards outside ebbing, missouri" and "the shape of water" trading momentum over recent weeks. another thing they have in common:"with 'three billboards' and 'shape of water,' it seems very split: you're either a huge

fan or you didn't like it at all."and on the best picture preferential ballot, where voters rank their choices, that could open the door for a different winner."my theory is that 'get out' is a lot of people's second-favorite movie of the year, so that could give it a ton of strength going into this.""took a poll, did you, father?"there's less drama in the acting categories: frances mcdormand and sam rockwell from "three billboards," "darkest hour" star gary oldman, and allison janney from "i, tonya" are all heavy favorites."i think it's definitely true that the acting races are a lock this year. the same four people have sort of won every award leading up to this award." "whatever we give you, it's never enough."if ford áhadá to pick an upset, she'd look to "lady bird.""i think i would pick laurie metcalf to win supporting actress, as sort of a surprise that might possibly happen, but allison janney... from 'i, tonya' has won every single award on the way here."
