2025 Oscar Predictions - Supporting Actors | August 2024

[@sasha76944]

I happened to watch Emilia Perez two days ago since it premiered in France And Selena's performance still gives me chills, she has plenty of baity scenes Karla is a revelation in this film Zoe is definitely the co-lead actress and her character is more subtle compared to the two other actresses. Hopefully they all can make it.

My predictions 1. Samuel L. Jackson 2. Clarence Maclin 3. Kieran Culkin 4. Stanley Tucci 5. Denzel Washington Next in Line: Edward Norton, John Lithgow, Drew Starkey, Jeremy Strong, Harris Dickinson Best Supporting Actresss 1. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor 2. Danielle Deadwyler 3. Zoe Saldana 4. Tilde Swinton 5. Selena Gomez (you read that right) Next in Line: Isabella Rossellini, Natasha Lyonne, Lesley Manville, Joan Chen Note: I’m personally not buying The Brutalist as an Oscar player, it just seems like a typical indie movie to me.

@@CAIQUEPEREIRADIAS She’s in Emilia Perez, which is likely to be a big contender, could easily get GG and SAG, and I’m not sure I buy the other contenders outside of my top five (Rossellini is apparently only in a scene, Lyonne and Chen’s movies are non-factors, and Manville’s character isn’t even in the book and she could easily be a glorified cameo).

[@stephendavis6267]

I really think people might be overestimating Jackson. The role is not *that* big and there's a very strong chance Deadwyler's performance could overwhelm, and if Jackson's not flashy enough to steal focus, I think he might even have some difficulty in getting the nomination. (Plus he did just get the honorary; could be that there isn't a rush to laud him now that he has that).

[@RB-.-]

Nickel Boys and Piano Lesson are just not going to be good enough as movies.

I could see Selena Gomez getting nominated everywhere but miss the Oscar nomination. I think industry awards will be an uphill battle for her the same way it can be for Sandler or Efron, so I won’t count on it yet. Although they weren’t in Best Picture movies.

[@Serafimx_]

Fernanda Montenegro (I’m still here) plays the main character in the third act, with older age and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, it will certainly be a very emotional role.

[@pb.j.1753]

I‘m Still Here is an underdog right now. It could surprise. A good sign is that Sony Pictures Classics will release it.

[@bronsonhatch]

After reading Queer, I think Drew Starkey could absolutely be nominated. His performance is almost in direct contrast to what Daniel Craig will probably do. Subtle, withdrawn, soft-spoken, naive, yet still slightly seductive and he does get really melancholy towards the end. Think Steven Yuen in Burning (I know he didn’t get nominated, but just think of the caliber of that performance) You could also think Timothee in CMBYN.

[@aidanmchutchison567]

I wouldn’t be so doubtful over A Complete Unknown (on paper that is), coz since it’s a Searchlight movie, & say if Nightbitch doesn’t turn out good & if A Real Pain ends up being too small & gets that lone screenplay nod, they’re gonna wanna push Mangold’s movie (bare in mind too, Searchlight almost always has at least one movie firmly in the Best Picture lineup)

[@eccentricexploringape1246]

Edward Norton getting a supporting actor nom would be so cool. Pete Seeger is a gregarious enough personality that is ripe for a meaty standout performance.

[@stevensellin6038]

Also, I think Natasha Lyonne can make a case for a nomination. I'm getting Brian Tyree Henry/Jessie Buckley/ America Ferrera vibes. Someone always surprises every year with one nomination. The sole CC nominee stat still stands. She could be one to look out for.

[@aidanhartenstein6093]

From what I've heard, Lithgow is apperantly the juicy role in Conclave while Tucci's character isn't that interesting. Tucci might just be Matt Damon in Oppenheimer

[@ShadavionGrant]

Danielle Deadwyler should be campaigning in Lead but it probably would be safer to put her in supporting for a better shot at winning

[@keithwilson3900]

I honestly believe she will. The character Berniece is extremely important to the story.

20:57 Regarding the emily blunt reference Conclave's performance at the oscars will depend on critical reception and box office (emily with oppenheimmer had both) The critical reception for the film won't be able to get nominations for the three actors, if the movie flops And realistically a film about choosing another pope does not scream good box office numbers

Probably not but my point is there are options depending on the size of the roles.

I still think that if "The Apprentice" comes on time, Stan, Bakalova and Strong could really well all be nominated... oh, and after The Room Next Door winning the Golden Lion and how well that prize transfers lately to big Oscar wins, Swinton becomes the frontrunner right away... out of the last 7 Golden Lions, 5 - 4 in English, one in spanish - went on to be nominated for Picture, Director, Acting and Screenplay. All won some of those awards, and 2 of them - English spoken, won Picture AND Director. Meaning, The Room Next Door looks a viable nominee for Picture, Director, Actress, S. Actress and Adapted, probably Score, Film Editing and Cinematography as well, and has - if that happen - a 50% chances of winning the big one.
