2024 Oscar Predictions: SUPPORTING ACTRESS (June)
Julianne Moore rises on the news of Netflix grabbing the Todd Haynes-directed May December out of Cannes and new entries in the Top 10 this month from Jodie Foster (Nyad) and Lashana Lynch (Bob Marley: One Love).
With The Piano Lesson having very recently begun production as the WGA strike hit, it’s probably not very likely the film will be turned around in time for a 2023 release and Netflix already has their hands full with tons of titles that are finished and ready to go. With that, Danielle Deadwyler drops down. I still feel strongly about Taraji P. Henson and Danielle Brooks in The Color Purple and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, such a scene stealer in 2019’s Dolemite is My Name, feels right to break though for the upcoming Alexander Payne film The Holdovers.
Category placement will always plague predictions and even though Killers of the Flower Moon has been seen and reviewed, there is still a chance Lily Gladstone could end up being pushed for either. Prevailing thought remains supporting but only time will tell.
