After taking the Golden Globe for best comedy or musical and adding the top prize from the Producers Guild of America over the weekend, “Green Book” could be considered our best-picture front-runner. After all, there have been only two times since the academy expanded its best-picture field that the Oscars and the producers guild have differed on their ultimate victor. We’ll have a good idea of how far it can go if “Green Book” pulls off some on-the-bubble nominations like best editing, best director and best supporting actress for Linda Cardellini. Who takes the fifth best actress slot? Emily Blunt received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her work in “Mary Poppins Returns,” but Bafta, the British organization, went for Viola Davis in “Widows” instead.
