Oscars: With Final Ballots Due Today, Is A Historic Best Picture Coup Brewing For ‘Get Out’?

Last call for this year’s 90th Annual Academy Awards. Ballots from the 7,258 Oscar voters are due today at 5 PM PT.
Casual conversations suggest that many have waited until the last couple of days to vote, particularly those planning to weigh in with choices in the shorts, documentary and foreign film races as well. You can’t blame the Academy if turnout is low, though. One exasperated member who had not yet voted emailed me yesterday, “OMG – AMPAS is spamming me with emails and texts reminding me to vote. Next will be phone calls from them!” Whether any voters get personal calls from John Bailey or Dawn Hudson, it’s clear they are trying to drive a high turnout, with most ballots now done online, allowing for the last-minute procrastination. So, stragglers, this is your last chance and you could be making history.
