Best Actress Volley: It's On!
Friday, December 20, 2024 at 3:00PM Nick, Nathaniel, and Eric engage in a discussion about everybody's favorite Oscar category: Best Actress. For the record this conversation started the day of the Globes nominations so watch things narrow down as we speak!
Will a surprise SAG nomination rescue any underperformers?
ERIC: Nick and Nathaniel, I'm really excited about this volley because the Best Actress category is as always stacked, this year featuring at least a dozen ladies who stand a fairly legitimate shot at a nomination at this point. I thought it might be fun, before we get to the current leading contenders, to take a look at that back half of the possibilities to gauge your thoughts. Of the actresses that seem slightly less likely to nab a nomination this year...Kate Winslet, Pamela Anderson, Amy Adams, Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan...do you see the winds changing in the weeks to come where any of them could gather enough momentum to move to the front of the pack?
I'm considering Jolie, Madison, Gascon, Moore, Kidman, Erivo, Torres, and Jean-Baptiste more ahead at this point, but comment as you may.
NATHANIEL: It does feel like quite a crowded, anything-could-happen* year. Take for example one from your column B: Saoirse Ronan and one from your column A: Angelina Jolie...
