Oscar Nomination Predictions

Oscar nominations come out tomorrow. Here are my predictions for some categories in the order of what I think is mostly likely to least likely. I threw in Documentary and Foreign Language categories because they have published shortlists of the potential nominees so I could pick from that. Also for Animated Feature there aren't that many possibilities so I took a guess in a category where I've seen only one.

The films in italics I have not seen.
