HOW'D THEY GET NOMINATED? |
||||
|
WHO WAS SHUT OUT? |
||||
| Given precursor attention the actresses who had most cause to feel disgruntled about the results were Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson) and Margaret Qualley (The Substance), and arguably Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez). But voters at all the precursors were NOT looking deep enough this year or thinking enough about this category. So much fine work was overlooked to focus on either leading ladies or people in Best Picture nominees, or both. A lot of terrific work didn't see ANY traction as a result. | ||||
|
WHO WILL WIN? |
||||
|
It's Zoe Saldana's to lose. She's won the Globe and it helps (sigh) that she has a ton of screen time given her leading role. If there's an upset (but that's VERY hard to imagine) it's Monica Barbaro since A Complete Unknown has been collecting more fans since the nominations. PREDICTION: ZOE SALDANA |
||||
|
WHO SHOULD WIN? NATHANIEL'S PICK |
||||
| Despite loving the performances from Ariane Grande and Zoe Saldana, they're total leads so I couldn't feel good about voting for them. With only three actual supporting actresses in the mix the choice is easy: Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez. | ||||
