We’re handicapping the odds on the nine Best Picture contenders for the March 4 Academy Awards. Could Get Out get the vote out and go all the way to win Best Picture? Until recently, Get Out has seemed like an honourable also-ran in the Best Picture race, since it has zero nominations in the Academy’s 10 craft categories. You have to go back to Ordinary People in 1980 to find a Best Picture winner similarly hobbled. Yet the preferential ballot in this category, and increasing momentum, makes a Get Out win a distinct possibility.
