Never mind all those pretenders on the undercard, the main event of Hollywood’s award season is about to begin.

Among the magazine’s biggest surprises: Tom Hanks would lose out on a best actor nomination for The Post and Get Out will surprise many prognosticators by picking up a best picture nod. The VF experts also predict that Lady Bird‘s Greta Gerwig will notch a best director nomination — avoiding an embarrassing repeat of the Golden Globes’ lack of a female nominee in that category.
