Ellen Burstyn’s last Best Actress nod was for the unrated version of her movie. Which was given NC-17 but the distributor wanted no stigma so they went unrated without cuts.
October 12, 2021 at 4:11 am #1204514776Queen Tilda is coming
For? Tilda doing year best work hasn’t ignited new interest from voters before.
October 11, 2021 at 4:41 am #1204512799Can Regina King happen? They are singling her out from Harder they fall
Can her movie happen outside of her? This season is more competitive than the one she won for.
October 11, 2021 at 4:39 am #1204512795I’m curious if there’s going another Marina De Tavira and Lakeith Stanfield in supporting races again.
Imagine being a surprise nominees with only Oscar nomination so far.
This should become a trend for the Oscars. Recognizing great performances without being a precursors sheep.
Both were in best picture nominees.
October 8, 2021 at 7:06 pm #1204510005Not only that it seems Focus is thinking it can pull enough votes to get Judi Dench her second Oscar despite the competition.
Dench has two things in her favorite overdue for a 2nd win — she lost the battle to win in Best Actress some nominations back and her movie being a best picture contender for the win.
October 8, 2021 at 4:12 pm #1204509888I’m not understanding the perception that Stewart struggles with SAG? Spencer is one of the most hyped films and she’s literally the frontrunner, so why wouldn’t they watch and therefore vote for her?
Tammy Faye played way stronger with the SAG people. It is a sag-got of a movie.
October 8, 2021 at 10:53 am #1204509292Regina King first time Oscar nominee defeated six-time nominated Amy Adams. Regina King had 2 Emmys at the time and it’s already difficult to win 2 Emmys as it is so yeah it cemented her as an acting veteran who needed the right film to be an Oscar vehicle for her to win. 2 Emmys > 2 Oscar nominations.
Supporting Actress wins usually go to first time nominees. I don’t know exactly how to identify the hesitation of Oscar voters with Amy Adams? Taken for granted like previous multi-nominees who never won competitively.
October 8, 2021 at 10:41 am #1204509266Janney was already an Emmy/SAG legend and industry giant before she won her Oscar and it doesn’t look like Jess is anywhere near that status yet. Not comparable
Chastain is a two-time previous Oscar nominee. Which actually helps more than recognition elsewhere outside the medium. Janney was a participate in many Oscar recognized movies. I know supporting actress is looser than best but I see her path to victory will look a lot like Janney’s when everyone thought Metcalf had it in the bag for an eventually upset.
October 8, 2021 at 10:00 am #1204509123I think Chastain is this season’s Allison Janney.
October 7, 2021 at 10:13 pm #1204508336Do you guys think we’ll see any black or non-white Best Lead Actress winners in the 2020s? It’s getting ridiculous that is hasn’t happened since Halle Berry.
No. They’re pretty consistent about keeping competitive Oscars from Glenn Close and any nonwhite nominee in Best Actress.
October 4, 2021 at 7:49 pm #1204502554Tessa Thompson feels like the LaKeith Stanfield/Steven Yeun breakthrough type of nomination of this year (hopefully the voters don’t write her into supporting like they did with Stanfield though lol).
That was such a unique situation where they didn’t want to vote for precursor alternative Jared Leto. I still don’t understand why David Strathairn couldn’t coattail for Nomadland?
October 3, 2021 at 8:02 am #1204499779I’ve just realised that if Denzel wins Frances will be giving him his Oscar
Just like Streep did for Day-Lewis.
October 3, 2021 at 7:19 am #1204499727I think Chastain is the tangible front runner. People who never wanted her in the conversation in the first place are happy her movie tanked at the specialty box office. But that is an historical irrelevancy for this specific category. Stewart is seen as the cool kid choice — an underdog child star finally getting her due — see Kirsten Dunst — and also for us old heads Martha Plimpton.
If Spencer is following the same stylistic template as Jackie — it’ll only be a factor in best actress and (makeup and costumes).
October 3, 2021 at 6:41 am #1204499685Let’s just say that I’m pretty.. cautious about predicting a black performer to win in Lead
Will is arguably the biggest black leading star ever but I can’t bring myself to predict him until it actually happens. Although I’d love that
His rival this season is Denzel which means he’ll loose to Denzel. They need to stop playing with his 3rd Oscar and lock him in.
October 1, 2021 at 7:47 am #1204496084I voted Alfre Woodard because she doesn’t get the opportunities she deserves. I’ll still be happy if Meryl Street takes it
I voted for Woodard too. The industry thrust and attention they’re giving she and Octavia Spencer should have been a thing for her too.
