I choose Laurie Metcalf. I’ve seen her on stage multiple times where she is “home” and in her element and it was transcendental, but her in Lady Bird is something I’ve never really seen from her before. She really made you feel for a character that easily could be unlikeable, and I also thought her performance was really relatable- as someone who also grew up with a hard-working, sometimes overbearing mother but at the end of the day just wants what is best for her children and cares too much, it really hit home for me. Perfect balance of being over-the-top and subtle. Definitely one of my favorite performances of all time.

2. Rachel Weisz, The Favourite

4. Naomie Harris, Moonlight
5. Sally Hawkins, Blue JasmineSeptember 16, 2020 at 10:48 am #1203710204I truthfully don’t see Hudson winning her 2nd Oscar out of 2 nominations for playing a role that doesn’t seem very much a stretch for her, ie her heavily relying on her vocal chops again. She’s an amazing vocalist but I don’t think her Oscar win has aged super well, at least among pundits, and maybe this is too niche but I do feel like her missing out on a Tony nomination (and her reaction afterwards) doesn’t bode well for how she is currently perceived. I think she is likely to get a nomination, though. I just don’t see a path for her to win but of course anything is possible.

10. Florence Pugh – Little WomenSeptember 12, 2020 at 7:56 am #1203700674I love Alison Janney and her performance was deserving but she shouldn’t have swept for that. Laurie Metcalf literally (imo) gives one of the best supporting actress performances OF ALL TIME in Lady Bird.
I’ve rewatched Lady Bird twice since this Oscar season and I completely agree. It’s the definition of what a supporting role and performance should be. Definitely one of my all time favorites.
ReplySeptember 12, 2020 at 7:52 am #1203700668I hope this movie flops completely. Winslet decided to come out with her apologies right when her movie premiered. B*tch you not getting oscar this year. Ronan is always just there, like never the best. I’m waiting for her to have a role that will blow people away. Until then stop giving her nominations.
While I’m excited for this movie, I can’t help but be bothered by Winslet’s timely apology. It comes across as disingenuous. And I love Ronan but I agree she shouldn’t win until she is undeniable and I’ll be surprised if this movie is that vehicle for her.
ReplySeptember 8, 2020 at 2:04 pm #1203693399From this poll I would say Elisabeth Moss. Not included in this is Michelle Williams (likely because she doesn’t have a confirmed upcoming movie putting her in serious contention), but I think her clean sweep for Fosse/Verdon and her “overdue narrative” will put her in serious conversations next time she has the right role.
ReplyJuly 10, 2020 at 5:37 pm #1203580545I would personally vote Dern. She stole every scene she was in- from over the top hilarious moments to her quiet moment with Amabella. But I’d also love Bonham Carter to (deservedly) win.
ReplyJuly 10, 2020 at 10:54 am #1203580080Really disappointed at Unorthodox’s shut out at TCA. I think Haas is just as deserving as most of the locks in this category, but I am going with Dever and Witherspoon to round out my 5 (assuming Blanchett, King, and Wever are locks). I think Unbelievable will have a strong showing and while I originally thought Dever could miss, her TCA nomination over some other people show she, and the show, clearly have support. And personally I don’t think there is a comparison between Witherspoon and Washington in LFE so I am banking on Witherspoon. Maybe taking the TCA noms more seriously than I should, but who knows.
June 16, 2020 at 6:42 am #1203536166I vividly remember watching Lapotaire’s episode and googling immediately after who she was, what she has been in, etc. and thinking she was a shoo-in for a guest nomination. I would really love for her to win.
ReplyJune 15, 2020 at 3:36 pm #1203535007While Haas carries the show without a doubt, the only other person I would nominate would be Rahav. I know it’s easy to get carried away with Twitter world vs reality, but Twitter seemed to really fall for Rahav so maybe not on GD, but there does seem to be a consensus somewhere that he was amazing. I think he could easily be one of those surprise nominees that sneak in that looking back we should have seen coming, but at the same time I don’t know if I feel confident enough in predicting it.
June 15, 2020 at 1:04 pm #1203534625I think it will go virtual. As hopeful as we are all trying to be right now, cases are spiking in 21+ states that reopened a few weeks ago and experts are already predicting a second shutdown that could be worse than the first. Whether this happens or not I don’t see there being anything other than either a virtual ceremony or simply an announcing of the winners which would be a shame.
ReplyJune 13, 2020 at 7:07 am #1203530979While Washington would be the one I would personally choose to miss out here, for some reason I think Dever might be the most vulnerable.I don’t think Washington was bad, but Blanchett, Wever, King, Dever, Witherspoon, and Haas were on another level for me. I felt Washington was overacting to the point of it being distracting at times. I wouldn’t be upset if she is nominated, but I consider all of the other women not only nomination worthy but win worthy (Haas included) and I don’t think the same of Washington.
