I see for best actress
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins
I can just imagine the political lecture we’ll get from her if she wins.

That is exactly why she will win. Two reasons really.
One, because Trump called he overrated, so to stick it to Trump and pprove him wrong, they will give her another Oscar.
Secondly, she effectively captures what Hollywood thinks of themselves as the better class of citizens in this nation who knows better then rest of those “red state folks” so the must lecture and teach us the way. Meryl Streep has emerged as the primary spokesperson for this group of people. So she will get an Oscar so there will be an large audience for her teach and set straight.
I totally understand your POV on this; and, I will say, that for the majority of my life I have never really liked Meryl Streep's acting (or politics). That aside, hubby and I were bored on a weekend evening and the only movie I thought I could sit through was Florence Foster Jenkins.
About half way thru the film, my hubby says out loud; "oh, just give her the oscar". She really was terrific in this part. It pains me to say so.
She won’t win. Emma Stone will take it.
Streep was only nominated because of the Golden Globes speech. Her performance in Florence Foster Jenkins wasn’t that great.
For that very reason I doubt she will win. If she did and she did a repeat it would suck all oxygen out of the post Oscar buzz regardless of how well it was received. Plus what I watched on the local news here someone said the movie wasn’t very good.
