Look it over, and make your predictions. Then, to find out who actually gets selected, come back on the morning of Tuesday, May 13. The nominations will be announced beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET, and we’ll post them as soon as they are official. Or, sign up to have the list e-mailed right to your computer.
