Michelle literally wom the Oscar bc of campaigns and narrative. No reasons anyone who thinks the Oscars should be ir merit looks at Blanchett and Yeoh and calls them peers.

[@reeset2198]

I wouldn't be surprised if Demi got the nomination and the win. She's old school, people love her, and she's got the narrative. If Jamie Lee Curtis could get a win, Demi definitely can. If she campaigns like we know she can, she could win.

[@josephpalis6589]

Here for Marianne Jean-Baptiste's searingly indelible performance for 'Hard Truths'. Thanks for championing her. Like you, I am not confident Bleecker Street has the machinery to push her but I am guessing that the critics' circles might push her to be in voters' minds and a high profile nomination from either SAG, BAFTA and Golden Globes can clinch her for an Oscar nomination. If nominations are judged solely by excellent performances, she gave the best lead performance of the year for me. My own top 5 might be without regard to where actresses are pushed but solely based on my subjective take of what is lead performance: Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Fernanda Torres, Tilda Swinton, Zoe Saldaña and Mikey Madison.

[@matthewplampton955]

Demi Moore's performance transcends the horror genre box and was so impactful. All the other options for Best Acrtress are all very cookie cutter safe. If the Academy wants to stay relevant it needs to be nominated and start rewarding these films.

[@hannahboldewijn]

I think it will be Jolie (Academy loves a biopic) or Mikey (They also love a fresh newcomer)! I want Mikey to win btw! Best performance I’ve seen this year!

[@allenschneider8579]

Lawrence was on her 2nd oscar nom when she won and had just played Katniss and Mystique. Not new. Stone was on her 2nd oscar nom when she won and she had been in tons of stuff like The Help, Zombieland and Easy A. Brie Larson had 20+ acting credits before she won. None of them was an unknown to the level of Mikey Madison.

[@tylerlubinus3758]

Obviously, it’s your channel, handle it as you like, but I run content as well and delete transphobic or other hateful content because it rarely sparks a productive conversation and spreads hurt to those who read it. There is someone hopping around the comment section, making transphobic replies and it is possible to block them. It’s probably going to be an issue all award season. Again, totally up to you on how to handle it.

My predictions are: 1. Mikey Madison, Anora 2. Karla Sofia Gascon, Emilia Perez 3. Demi Moore, The Substance 4. Angelina Jolie, Maria 5. Nicole Kidman, Babygirl But I genuinely hope Fernanda Torres gets in for I’m Still Here.

[@heymistercarter.]

With Karla Sofía Gascón, I think there's one thing you didn't mention that may help her big time with getting a nomination. Just like her character in the movie, Gascón is a transgender woman. With that, and the political climate going on, I could see there being a major storyline for her to be the first transgender woman to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. I don't believe any others have been nominated (EDIT: Elliot Page was nominated for Best Actress for JUNO, but that was before he transitioned), so Gascón getting in would be a huge moment. And I'd love to see it for her, in a large part because she was genuinely great in the movie.

[@bruh_hahaha]

The Academy really need to shift their views on genre films. The best performances I’ve seen this year are from Demi Moore in The Substance and Naomi Scott in Smile 2. I’m sure Lily Rose Depp is also going to kill it in Nosferatu. 🍿🏆

[@jhc18823]

I think Demi Moore gets in. I'm just feeling that it's going to happen. 1. Mikey Madison 2. Karla Sofía Gascón 3. Angelina Jolie 4. Nicole Kidman 5. Demi Moore The only upset I can see at this point (which would not be an upsetting upset by any means) is Saoirse Ronan.

[@maristhebear]

My predictions for Best Actress are: 1. Demi Moore 2. Fernanda Torres 3. Pamela Anderson 4. Julianne Moore 5. Mikey Madison Probably *Angelina Jolie *Kate Winslet *Nicole Kidman

[@rebekahp4083]

Pamela Anderson is not happening- she was good in The Last Showgirl but that movie is not very good in my opinion.

[@13frank13]

Julianne over Tilda is crazy

[@13frank13]

I think Gascon is happening. Besides being in a Best Picture contender, she delivers a transformative performance that Oscar voters usually enjoy, she has the narrative of being the first transgender woman to be nominated for Best Actress, and I’ve seen a couple interviews and Emilia Perez screenings and she’s very funny and likable (which is important when it comes to awards season)

[@Salad507]

I saw Emilia Pérez yesterday, and all I can say is that Zoe Saldana is the real lead of that film. She has the most screentime, and most of the plot moves forward because of her actions. Gascon's performance was underwhelming considering how complex her character was, I feel that the only reason people are predicting her actress nomination is because of her "first trans" narrative, which would be fine if her performance were actually a stand out.

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

I'm watching it in a few weeks. The reception has been mixed, though.

[@capkronos00]

[@mattbernabe]

Despite Toni Collette and Lupita Nyong'O not receiving nominations for their outstanding performances, I just hope the Academy will make an exception for Demi Moore.
