He's a great actor, great performance, had a great year (with Luke Cage, House of Cards, and Hidden Figures coming up), and a vet guy who's been working consistently for nearly 20 years.

Yeah, I think I said this elsewhere. Never thought it stood much of a chance. Sundance films rarely do rack up nominations (Fruitvale Station was blanked, and it was much better than BOAN, imo)-- a couple have, but those are major exceptions. The awards blogosphere always generates a ton of buzz for Sundance films every year that go nowhere that *don't* have rape controversies.
Washington and Davis will get noms, Ali and Harris very well may (especially if the film plays well with the Academy), Octavia could land one for Hidden Figures, Gugu could land one for Miss Sloane, Ruth Negga could land one for Loving... if they somehow end up with another #OscarSoWhite scenario this year, I'd be stunned. I'd bet on five of the above seven getting noms.
