Huppert over Stone. Stone is probably winning her second next year and I just can’t see a second nomination for Huppert in a foreseeable future. Also Metcalf over Janney.

What a lineup those years.

Bradley Cooper over Rami Malek. Cooper sang, wrote music, and acted the shit out of that movie, while Rami lipsynced, and let the prosthetics do the work.
