If 1917 can make it then so can PYW, it was definitely eligible. People are just coming up with excuses to justify the snub.

Or… maybe they just didn’t like PYW.

Rooney Mara for sure.

Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams are also pretty good.

To a certain extent, his double nom would, also, count on how accessible Annette is, especially given its very artsy director.

I’m not counting on Annette being an Oscar thing but I think it could get Adam his Best Actor Award at Cannes.

Nothing role. Nothing performance.

Not as confident as others are in The Northman. It has a big cast and buzz but there seems to be less hype for it (at least at this point) than SoHo and I am getting a strange feeling it could end up being The Beguiled of this season.

The problem with the Northman won’t be the buzz. If it’s anything like Eggers’ previous films, then the problem will probably be that it’s too “edgy” for the Academy to embrace.

It’s time for Anya to get that nod she deserves.

If all of her films are acclaimed I can see her following Florence’s path in some way,

Y’all keep counting out Frances… BP and BD frontrunner + Searchlight sounds like a slam dunk to me! Plus, considering that rousing speech she gave during her last Oscar win, she really uplifted the industry’s movement toward more woman directed, woman centered films, which we’re seeing a whole lot of this season

I have her winning rn.

The thing that partially annoys me is that she was ‘only’ very good, in my opinion, because the film is very basic (although I did not hate it at all; it felt at least honest and somehow heartful). But I’m sure she could have delivered something à la Riva (Amour) or Rampling (45 Years) if given an adequately complex role.

Yes, I agree. I think a more experienced writer/director could have done a better job capturing her performance, especially considering how rich the source material is.

A longer run time would have also helped, in my opinion.

Lol. Happy for Loren, as I’m slowly catching up with the leading contenders and she’ll probably deliver my favorite performance among them (only watched Ma Rainey so far, and she’s better than Davis for sure). Also, @England is probably too polite to say anything, but I bet he’s having a hell of a blast right now.

She’s definitely my favorite of the leading contenders. I still have to see Zendaya and Andra, I guess, but I seriously doubt they will be able to top Sophia’s performance.

Andra Day and Sophia Loren right now.

Sophia really is unbothered and campaigning

That would be too many noms for Netflix in Best Actress. Viola and Kirby are making it, no one else.

Three is possible. The actresses that are in contention for that fifth spot are all Netflix.

Starting to feel Loren might squeeze in and get the fifth spot.

I will post an update on my predictions soon since it’s been a couple of months.

I will say for now, Denzel and Frances are locks for their nominations.
