These awards and the Spirits mean zip when it comes to winning an Oscar.

I don't recall saying they do. (Like the Gothams have any impact on a ceremony that's months ahead.)

But like I've said before; Stats don't mean everything... but Stats also don't lie, my friend. Especially when the past 3 to 4 Upset 'Indie' winners have garnered these awards. Also, there's no 'La La Land' or 'Boyhood' frontrunner to speak of right now. It's a seemingly mixed bag that's just waiting for a film like CMBYN to swoop in and shock everyone.

New Predix:

Best Feature: 'Call Me by Your Name'
Best Documentary: 'Strong Island'
Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award: Jordan Peele - 'Get Out'
Best Screenplay: James Ivory, 'Call Me By Your Name'
Best Actor: James Franco - 'The Disaster Artist'
Best Actress: Margot Robbie – 'I, Tonya'
Breakthrough Actor: Timothée Chalamet - 'Call Me by Your Name'

Best Feature: 'Call Me by Your Name'

If CMBYN wins Best Picture here--and at the Spirit Awards, there's no doubt in my mind It's winning the Oscar. It's only competition would be 'Three Billboards' IMO. (If It wins the SAG Ensemble, that is.)
