I think Jodie Comer is very likely getting nominated. Doesn’t she have Free Guy (I know that’s obviously not an awards film) this year too? And the final season of <i>Killing Eve </i>next year? If her performance is as good as we think it is I think she could be at the very least the Vanessa Kirby of this year and snag Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG nominations with a strong performance + a star is born narrative.
If she’s as good as all this early chatter seems to indicate she is, Comer has a very good chance of being next year’s young, first-time Leading Actress nominee. Based on this interview with Wolski I am leaning towards her being Lead and not Supporting.
As for the rest of it, we know Driver will be good as he always is but I just can’t quite see him getting nominated for a role of this nature. Villains do often do well in Supporting but…yeah. And if the Academy wants to nominate him they will have other options.
I recently saw News of the World and it’s cinematography is gorgeous, so if Wolski thinks his work on Duel is better than that then he could go b2b.
EARLY APRIL PREDICTIONS:

The Suicide SquadIf she’s as good as all this early chatter seems to indicate she is, Comer has a very good chance of being next year’s young, first-time Leading Actress nominee. Based on this interview with Wolski I am leaning towards her being Lead and not Supporting.
I’ve been saying this for a while and honestly, the more we hear about this film the more convinced I am it’s happening. Whether she gets the nomination or not I don’t know, and who knows how much screen time she has, but the entire plot hinges on her character. And, crucially, the film believes her – which I am extremely glad to hear.

I hadn’t read the interview with Woslki! If Comer is as good in this role as she’s suggested to be then she could indeed be next year’s first time actress nominee (like Vanessa Kirby this year). I wonder considering what fefface mentioned about the film’s possible subversion of its source materials treatment of its principal female if Comer might get some critics rallying behind her. I have my hopes high considering how good Nicole Holofcener is at writing strong multi-faceted female leads.
I’m not predicting Driver but I wouldn’t entirely rule him out. I think he has a strong shot at ending up like Scarlett Johansson in getting double nominations due to his strong individual buzz, the buzz of his projects and the year he’s had.
FYC: Better Call Saul and The Good Fight in all categories including Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.

Didn’t he say her point of view is the last to be shown? Kinda sounds supporting tbh ain’t nothing wrong with that though.

It’s linked at the end of the Part 5 thread – here’s the link.
And yeah it appears that the film will believe Marguerite, which is a good thing, but I imagine it will still explore the fact that several of the characters don’t. If they can achieve what Wolski talks about in terms of telling the story through a 21st century lens then it could work, but any film that includes a scene of serious sexual assault, as this one does, is going to invite a lot of commentary as to whether or not it needs to exist.
The combination of Comer and Holofcener gives me good reason to believe that Marguerite will be well written and represented. But there will be a lot of people who will avoid it just based on the subject matter.
Didn’t he say her point of view is the last to be shown? Kinda sounds supporting tbh ain’t nothing wrong with that though.
I don’t take away from what he said about perspectives that the film is divided into three distinct parts – by ‘final perspective’ I think he was just referring to the order he discussed the characters in and could just as easily have said ‘and the final perspective is the husband’, if that makes sense.
And even if it is, all three characters are going to appear in all three perspectives…so it wouldn’t follow that she would have to be Supporting in that scenario.
The fact that Ridley Scott opted to cast Jodie Comer for the Napoleon epic simply because he was impressed by her in The Last Duel is already sign that she’s gonna eat this up. The same thing can be said for Adam Driver.
Ridley Scott is so hit and miss though. Michelle Williams couldn’t break in for All the Money in the World since the best actress competition was so fierce and next season looks just as competitive.
Michelle (Yeoh, Williams) Oscar campaign manager.

Scott is hit and miss, but I genuinely believe the script is the most important thing for this particular piece. They have to get it exactly right.

Good thing Jodie can be campaigned in supporting if the lead category is stacked. I just hope its not totally a category fraud though.
We also have to consider that All The Money in the World took a significant bullet amidst the Spacey controversy that year which led to Plummer getting the sole nod for saving that film at the last minute.
Please God!!!
Lets be real, most of Ridley’s movies involved in award contention are misses these days but Holofcener is much more promising than the man who wrote the day the earth stood still.

His last two Oscar movies got eight nominations between them.
But you’re right about Holofcener. She’s phenomenal.
