I agree Kong will get lots of technical nominations. I think it'll be one of the highest nominated films this year based on those alone. I just think the guild snubs have left it on unsteady ground for the bigger ones. I'd quite like to be wrong though.
I really hope you enjoy Double Indemnity. If you ever get chance to see Odd Man Out be sure to take it. It really is one of the greatest films I've ever seen.
Some more suggestions. I'll add more later if it's any help. I've picked a lot of overlooked films from my own favs list this time.

Should also have mentioned that Spring In A Small Town is actually in the original 1001 book. Sorry, mind is all over the place today. Also meant to ask are Short Film About Killing and Short Film About Love valid? They're both part of The Dekalog which is also in the original book... feel like I'm being very picky.

If you can play import dvds, there's an Australian dvd release of Ghosts Of The Civil Dead.

Regarding your predictions for Foreign Language Oscar, Cache isn't eligible and I don't think 2046 is either.
After being snubbed by all the guilds, I think Kong is pretty much out the running at the moment.

For 44 I'd suggest Double Indemnity. For 47, ever seen Odd Man Out? A Carol Reed film that's almost as great as The Third Man.

Springtime In A Small Town is a remake of 1948 film called Spring In A Small Town.
