It’s no surprise 2018 was one of the worst Oscar years ever, but the Best Actress lineup was absolutely fantastic and maybe even the best of the decade. All five nominees were win worthy IMO.
My ranking:
1. Olivia Colman in The Favourite
2. Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
3. Glenn Close in The Wife
4. Yalitza Aparicio in Roma
5. Lady Gaga in A Star Is BornWhat’s yours?

Same top as well. It was always Olivia and Glenn. I would love to know the final results. Would be shocked if any of the other three had more than 10-15% of the votes.

5. Yalitza the worst nominated everJanuary 19, 2021 at 8:53 am #1203991165Oh 2018! I made so many enemies during that award season. From the category placement for Colman to that GG shock in Drama Actress to Yalitza’s nomination (RIP Blunt) it was a roller coaster. Glenn’s movie is definitely flawed, but her performance deserved (I’m in the minority here, but I also celebrated Olivia’s speech… the definition of a bittersweet moment).

Glenn did a lot of subtle things so her perf was the most powerful of the lineup and Melissa really lost herself in the role and she was excellent in it too. Emily seemed borderline supporting in A Quiet Place so I would put her and Olivia in supporting replacing Stone and De Tavira. My personal line-up for that year would have been
1. Glenn
2. Melissa
3. Theron
4. Pike
5. Collette

2. The others.
I would have nominated Carey Mulligan, Sakura Ando, Emma Stone (in lead) and Sofia Boutella instead.

What was Carey in that year?

Lmao Close was miles ahead of Aparicio and Gaga. Loved Gaga’s singing though.
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 19, 2021 at 9:43 am #1203991305^Carey would’ve been my personal winner! but out of who was nominated:
1. Yalitza Aparacio (upon rewatch it’s really clear how present she is in every moment)
2. Melissa McCarthy (deeply underrated film/performance)
3. Lady Gaga (if the 2nd half of the film had done her character more justice, she might be my winner)
4. Olivia Colman (very good, but a supporting performance imo so I wanted just a little more)
5. Glenn Close (she did the best she could, but the movie was just so weak imo and it frankly did her performance a disservice)I suppose it was a good year in that I would’ve been able to make my peace with any of them winning, which can definitely not be said for every year.
