Best Visual Effects
There's a shortlist of ten still in play here, so it's a matter of dividing the list into the haves and have-nots.
Best Cinematography
Café Society, shot by the accomplished Vittorio Storaro, had some of the best visuals of the year, but it hasn't been recognized for it anywhere, so it's unreasonable expect that to change here.
Best Production Design
Production Design is yet another award that should be in the bag for La La Land.
Best Costume Design
Best Makeup and Hairstyling
The one technical Oscar La La Land is guaranteed not to win could pretty much go to any of the seven films that did make the Academy's shortlist. The persistent love for Deadpool has to manifest somewhere and this might just be it.
Best Original Song
La La Land has two eligible songs, which conceivably could work against it a little. But even if the crowdpleasing musical is going to lose some Oscars, this doesn't seem like one of them.
Best Original Score
Arrival is disqualified. Otherwise, I think we'd see it here.
Best Sound Editing
Don't bet against films with gunfire.
Best Sound Mixing
This is the category that often nominates and rewards musicals, so this might be La La Land's surest win. At the same time, it could be its least surprising defeat, should that happen.
Best Documentary Short, Best Animated Short, Best Live-Action Short
I'm not even going to bother with these three categories, other than to say that I expect both the widely seen toons, Pixar's Piper and Disney's Inner Workings, to crack the animated category.
Check back here next Tuesday, where on Page 1 you should be able to stream the nominations announcement live at 5:30 Pacific/8:30 Eastern.
