Woah - The Post missed. That's major. Is it this year's Selma? If you take out I, Tonya (which is coming on strong with the guilds) and replace it with Three Billboards, will that be the Original Oscar lineup? Is The Post really sitting this out? That 5th slot in Adapted is up for grabs? Logan makes a lot of sense the more I think about it.

4/5 each for me!
