Edited to add: I just saw that Reza covered this downthread.
I think either Streep or Huppert could be nominated, but neither is in my predictions.

Yeah, Rosemarie deWitt has a scene, and John Legend has a sort of part...but this movie is 90% just Emma & Ryan, and such films have never been cited here before (usually it's The More the Merrier). If George Clooney had hung around for all of Gravity, would that have constituted an ensemble?

It's no knock on the film -- the two actors are wonderful -- but the Ensemble category is ridiculous if exceptions are made for pet projects.
Nominating La La Land for ensemble would be as shameful an example of category fraud as there ever was!
