For prediction, discussion, entertainment purposes only discuss on the blog
PREDICTIONS AS OF JUNE 30TH
| Tier 1 - Predictions | ||||
 |
 |
 |
||
|
Stellan Skarsgard Co-Lead? Either category we think he's in given the reviews and his enduring underrecognized career. |
Adam Sandler Co-Lead? Rumored to steal this show. That unsuccessful but "almost" Unsung Gems campaign will definitely help. |
Benicio Del Toro How large is the role? A potential comic delight here as Leo's "sensei" |
Andrew Scott Supporting? Lead? He won a prize at Berlinale for his take on composer Richard Rodgers in this drama set on opening night of "Oklahoma!" |
Albert Brooks It's been a very long time since his nomination (1987!) but if this comeback for James L Brooks is well received his role as a retiring politician could be an awards surprise. |
| Tier 2 - Or maybe... | ||||
 |
 |

|
Jeremy Strong Hot off his first nomination he plays Bruce Springsteen's manager. Will be be back for a consecutive nod? |
Andrew Garfield Might be major threat if the fims is well received, as a professor accused of a crime. |
Delroy Lindo never nominated Even when the Academy likes genre films they don't always spring for the actors therein. (That said don't they kind of owe Lindo for passing over his great work in Da 5 Bloods) |
Jonathan Bailey never nominated Could that SAG nod last year portend things to come? Or was that just SAG being SAG? Bailey's career is on fire now. |
Alexander Skarsgaard never nominated Hear me out. Oscar voters going for a BDSM drama with Skarsgard as a leather daddy is a big ask but who cool would it be to get father/son nominees at the Oscars? |
| Tier 3 - Longer Shots? Who the hell knows this early! | ||||
 |
 |
|||
|
Jacob Elordi Playing "The Monster" and surely there's some goodwill building given his work in Euphoria and Saltburn. |
Colman Domingo (2 noms) A classic kind of supporting role (he plays a negotiator) if the film is good and finds a distributor |
Murray Bartlett He's broken through as a prestige TV actor but can he also conquer the big screen. This might just be an Amy Adams showcase but what if they're both great? |
William H Macy We've heard he's very good in this but it's been a long time since his heyday. We'll see if this film catches on (and how substantial or not his role is) |
Matt Smith They aren't averse to comic sidebars in this category. But how good is the film? |
| Tier 4 - Other Supporting Men in 2025. | ||||
