Lead or Supporting No. 30: Viola Davis in Ma Raineys Black Bottom
Luca Giliberti
A co-lead to Chadwick.
Hinrich689She's supporting imo. Just because she's the title character, doesn't mean she's a lead. It's actually quite surprising that Boseman got a lot of screentime in that film, almost DOUBLE more than Viola's. If there was a co-lead, it's Colman Domingo. T

Love or Loath No. 11: Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables
estrelas
Absolutely loved her performance and she was extremely deserving of the Oscar.
eastwestI remember that time and being a part of the problem. With being older and seeing how out of pocket people can be on the internet, I offer my apologies to Annie. Of course she'll never see this, but I do mean it. As for OP question, love.

Lead or Supporting #9 Nicole Kidman in The Hours
GraemeONeil
It's a close one, but both Meryl and Julianne have bigger, more complex roles than her. I feel like
Alex MeyerI think she qualifies as lead, because while she doesn't have as much screentime as one would think a lead should have, the whole film is tied together through the narrative of Virginia Woolf and her novel Mrs. Dalloway.

Lead or Supporting no. 29: Tatum O’Neal in Paper Moon
zordon
She was definitely lead - and brilliant in the film. Would have been a deserving nominee in the lead
keithwO'Neal was definitely lead. I still hoped Madeline Kahn would have won on Oscar night. She deserved to. I don't think Tatum O'Neal would have been nominated in the Lead Actress category because every one who was nominated deserved her spot. I cons

Lead or Supporting No. 28: Cate Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal

HengedritaThat movie is dynamite! The way Dench narrates the movie in the opening scene is goth hilarious and tragic. Blanchett, Dench and the script was on such a high calibre. To me she was lead, but dont mind seing her in the supporting category. I thin

Lead or Supporting No. 27: Al Pacino in The Godfather

This one's easy. Lead. Fantastic performance, he should've been nominated alongside Brando (and mayb
Benito DeliciasIt would've been more believeable if Brando had been supporting instead. Of course he wasn't gonna allow that, but it's less of a fraud. I don't believe fraud was behind this like it is today though, just ego and contract stuff from Brando, surely.

Lead or Supporting No. 17: Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood
cinetastic
I think it's supporting.
BetteDavisRewatched this the other day and I truly love this movie. However, Cliff is 100% lead.

Lead or Supporting No. 16: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone & Rachel Weisz in The Favou
teri
Imagine a story without Colman. The end. bye
CarloColman lead, Weisz supporting (and should have won that category by a mile). Stone had lead screentime but she worked also in supporting due to the storyline. We saw worst fraud like Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander in 2016.

Lead or Supporting #7 Catherine Zeta-Jones in “Chicago”
Kyle Bailey
I can definitely see the argument for both but I'd say Supporting only because Rob Marshall clearly
wolfaliBorderline lead. The Nowadays number at the end was more or less written to confirm how Chicago is the story of Velma and Roxie. However I don't think Zeta-Jones being in supporting is category fraud. Richard Gere being in lead on the other hand...

Lead or Supporting No. 22: Melanie Laurent in Inglourious Basterds
estrelas
This is very interesting. I feel like, out of all the characters, Shoshanna/Emmanuelle had the most
ButzAbsolutely Lead, along with Pitt. One could also make a case for Waltz but I think his placement in Supporting still made the most sense out of those three. They are the main driving forces of the narrative, the whole thing is like a game of chess be

Lead or Supporting #8 Steve Carell in “Foxcatcher”
Tye-Grr
Supporting. IMHO, Tatum is the sole lead.
diegoLead, supporting, it doesn’t matter. The real question is HOW did he get an Oscar nomination for such an awful performance?

Lead or Supporting #2 Anthony Hopkins in “Silence of the Lambs”
nkb325
I can't really explain it, but it really did feel like he was lead. Like his scenes with Clarice, it
Gabriel P. (gabspss)He does felt like lead, but as the time passed, I realized he's a truly supporting character. A very interesting one for sure and who is crucial to the story, but still a supporting character.

Lead or Supporting #13 Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain
jasonface
I'm voting lead!
estrelasHe's a co-lead but not as much of a category fraud as the likes of Rooney Mara, Brad Pitt or Mahershala Ali. The movie is mostly told by Ennis' perspective and Jake is not even in the third act of the movie. I'm ok with the supporting placement.

Lead or Supporting No. 18: Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls
Lil Tony
She was supporting
Gabriel P. (gabspss)Maybe I need to rewatch the movie, but I remember her character about 100x more than I remember Beyoncé's character here. I think she was lead. Still an outstanding performance, she blew me away.
