I think Star Wars has a good shot at visual effects like you said. Star Wars is always nominated for those types of awards. Force awakens was as well but didn’t win.Production Design and Costume Design...I think Beauty and the Beast has a shot, but if it does win, I think Costume Design will be the oscar for this film.
Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Original Score, and Visual Effects...I don't think Star Wars stands a chance in most of these since I think a film that I saw many times will beat it out. That is Dunkirk (not saying it will win the awards it is nominated for along with Star Wars, but I loved the score, the mixing, and the editing in that film a lot). The only chance I can see Star Wars winning is Visual Effects. I never saw GotG V.2 to really give it a possible look into Visual Effects.
Animated Film and Original Song...I can see Coco winning the Animated Film, but I have been addicted to The Greatest Showman (which i think should be nominated for more awards than just the song) soundtrack lately so I don't know if "Remember Me" will get the title of Best Original Song. Remember Me is easily my 2nd favorite song on that list though and definitely has a shot.
Best Animated Short...I really liked Lou so I hope that wins. Glad to see that something involved with the Cars 3 release was given a look.
I haven’t seen Greatest Showman yet but I find it interesting that it didn’t seem to do well with reviews at first but many seem to love it. It might be more one of those niche films.
I was so confused by The Greatest Showman on Rotten Tomatoes. Not by the scores, but by the fact that despite bad critic scores, it was nominated for best picture and best song. How could so many critics hate a best picture nominee? I'm not a musical person most of the time. Hated Into The Woods, never even considered seeing Les Mis. Everyone I knew who had seen TGS loved it, but I just wrote that off as only people who like those kind of movies are going to see them, and of course they are going to like it. My gf really wanted to see it though, so I decided to suffer through it. It was amazing! Yes, it had problems, but overall it did what it was intended to do, and it did so very well. It inspired. After watching the movie is obvious why the critics hated it.TGS does just that.It deals heavily with Barnum's distaste for critics, despite being forced to have to please them. One of the major themes of the movie is "screw what critics think. If it makes people happy, then it is worthy."
It's sort of off topic, but my wife really wants to see TGS. I used to hate musicals when I was young but have grown to appreciate them. I wonder if it's similar to LaLa Land which had a lot of people either LOVE or HATE it, while I found it to be just OK. Musicals tend to be that way - it's sort of whether the emotions of the music/dance strike you as real or false. For me, it's a lot about how much I like the songs. La La Land was beautifully shot and choreographed, but none of the songs stuck with me, making it just OK. I wonder if I will feel the same way about TGS.
Coco had a lot of music, but again not much of it really stuck by me outside of the main song "Remember Me" which was pretty good. I think animated musicals can get away with feeling "real" because they don't have to have that real world / fantasy balance that live action musicals have to. When La La Land opens with all those people dancing on the freeway...that seen alone can set you up with either "I'm in" or "this is stupid", and depending on which way you fall in those first 5 minutes is probably where you are going to stay. Meanwhile you watch Moana and she sings about the ocean and you're like "Hey, that's what it's all about."

Well they are still in contract negotiations so I would imagine this won't do a whole lot until that is over.That will keep them happy about pay for a while before they start moaning again.
