Yes, they gave Golden Globe to Dicaprio and Winslet at the same night. So it makes sense they would nominate Jodie Foster. It is Jodie Foster we are talking about.

The win is between Kirby and Mulligan.
No way Davis is gonna win for this performance. The performance is nothing special. If the academy really loves McDormand, they could give her the third win but she have accumulated more nominations before the exclusive third win.

It is close between her and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Supporting Actress winners are weak when compared to the Supporting Actor winners like Javier Barden, Heath Ledger, Christoph Waltz in Danjo, J. K. Simmons, etc.

She had five previous nominations. It would be her seven, not eight.

When it comes to winning 3rd or 4th Oscar, the most popular answer is always Blanchett.

I am surprised no one mentioned Vivien Leigh in Gone With The Wind. The most iconic female movie character ever.

Jacki Weaver in Silver Linings Playbook. This is really a surprise nomination

It seems like you come from HK.

Cate Blanchett
Montgomery Clift

Delroy Lindo gave a way stronger performance than Boseman and would have been Oscar worthy.

At least we all remembered her Oscar speech lol
If Lange did not win for Tootsie, she would probably win over Field. What is the point of giving Field her second before giving Lange her first. I guess Lange hated her Tootsie win for quite some time.

Don’t try to kill off any voice who support Hopkins please. He is a bigger legend than Boseman and he never won GG and SAG before. It is not that his performance is weaker than Boseman’s. I can see Boseman winning Oscar but he is not the absolute lock-in to win everything.

Glad that people bring up Langella again. He is a respected theater actor with a previous lead nomination. He seems like a more obvious name check in this category for nomination among other Chicago boys.

I guessed she was really scared of Natalie Portman’s review in Jackie. It was like “one of the best performance” type of comments. Turn out it wasn’t even Portman who was winning. I believe Davis should win over Stone if she is in lead. But this year she is really just a supporting role in Ma Rainey.

Yes, you are spot on that she is both a veteran and an ingenue. Mulligan is so easy for the voters to root for. The narrative is there. She delivered the best female lead performance in 2009 but the academy awarded Bullock instead. She delivered great performance but was not over-nominated. She is well spoken. She is beautiful but not too…[Read more]

I don’t understand how anyone who watched Ma Rainey thinks Davis is gonna win. Her performance is nothing special.

Hopkins never win Globe or SAG before. He is a veteran who has been awarded Cecil B DeMille award by HFPA before. And SAG likes to award legends who didn’t win SAG before like Meryl Streep for Doubt and Denzel Washington for Fences. And Hopkins could win BAFTA too. Boseman would face such steep competition from Hopkins especially if Boseman is…[Read more]

David Fincher is winning best director if Roma and The Revenant could win before.

No, Blanchett is undeniable in Blue Jasmine. It is one of the best performance of the decade.
For Streep, I think she should have won for Doubt and Winslet should have won for Eternal Sunshine.

I think SAG ensemble is between Chicago 7 and Ma Rainey.
