Best Supporting Actress & Actor Predictions Revisited - For Your Consideration

[@francovillagran8534]

I love Perri's faces when Jeff says something outrageous 😂

[@davidlovesmovies3326]

I love Jeff's reactions when Perri always says something ignorant and totally clueless. 😂

Perri is legit supermodel pretty.. it’s amazing. And she’s so nice and funny too and loves movies u can feel it

They’re a close number 2 behind Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng on Awards Magnet. Those 2 are more data/metric based and don’t get too hung up on hunches.

[@Usedtobebillie]

Why is Scott in denial thinking that Emilia Perez has any shot of winning BP? There’s a massive backlash against it, Mexicans hate the film, there’s a lot of mocking towards the performances, only Scott sees as this masterpiece. Has a 3.0 on Letterboxd, people do not like this film

[@thewstside]

as an ariana stan, i have to admit my fandom has been review bombing the movie for months due to stan twitter nonsense, now i won't say emilia perez is not receiving criticism from mexican people, but those scores cannot be trusted considering stans are creating multiple account to review it with 0.5 stars, and also brazilians championing for I'm still here joined to that activity, since apparently someone lied to them saying academy voters check letterbox when it comes to vote for oscars So emilia perez hate is not fully organic

[@ZachBobBob]

When I went to log in on Letterboxd I was actually shocked at how much hate there was towards it, really eye opening

[@jimtotam]

Emilia Perez......If you speak spanish, you don´t like the movie, if you are mexican like me, you hate it. That´s not Mexico, we don´t speak like that, that´s not our reality. It feels like google translate change it from french to spanish and the director never did a research about Mexico.

[@Nazaba09]

My mom is Mexican my dad is Costa Rican I lived in Venezuela. When I came back from Venezuela, I asked my mom why my grandma (again from Mexico) spoke Spanish so slowly. Mexico is one of the slower accents. Selena sounded fine.

[@jimbowen-collinson9798]

For those that are like “Will the Academy give the Oscar to someone like Ariana Grande?! She’s Nickelodeon known and a pop star, and it’s her first film.” I bring up Jennifer Hudson. Film debut, known only for a reality competition show….gave a stellar performance, and won the gold.

[@sreyangovender3404]

She wasn't a globally recognized popstar before that

One was a biopic and one is a movie about a green witch

[@Lvetto]

Ariana Grande's performance does not compare to Jennifer Hudson's

[@juandanielvidela9745]

Jeff is right about Felicity. As a native Spanish speaker, I can tell Selena´s acting is mediocre

[@nessybear]

I stopped watching Emilia Perez 30 minutes in because of that terrible accent. I'm going to try to again, but as a Spanish speaker it is very hard to hard to remain objective when you know how many great dialect coaches there are. Time can't be an excuse.

[@jaychaneI]

you clearly proved you're just a deIusional hater, cause the first 30 minutes are just zoe and minute 25 appears karla, and both are spanish speakers since birth

The whole length of movies thing is so funny to me when Oppenheimer a 3 hr movie just won best picture last year

[@JScotty4Reel]

I saw Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters. Ended up seeing Oppenheimer 2 more times, but haven’t revisited KOTFM. Sometimes even just 15 minutes can make the difference between well-paced and a slog

[@travisearl771]

Oppenheimer won because American culture was lurching towards fascism and it spoke to that political moment. It is essentially a "might makes right argument" played out over 3 hrs. Add in Nolan's hysterical fear of socialism and you have the best pic winner a fascist culture deserves.

[@jordanalford2825]

Perri I think you’re not recognizing how much the Academy loves Denzel. If he can get a nom for Roman J Israel. Trust me he can get one for Gladiator 2.

[@isaiahwilson5495]

@@jordanalford2825 Absolutely. I think Denzel is basically a shoo in at this point. He's probably not winning but I wouldn't necessarily rule it out. But he's basically the new Meryl Streep. If Denzel is in a movie and he actually campaigns for it, he's getting a nomination. Older voters have either worked with him or have met him and newer/younger members very well may have grown up seeing his films. He's too beloved in the industry to miss and is probably the only Black actor today you can say that about. He's getting in.

[@juanvasquez9399]

Selena is terrible in Emilia Perez, not because of her but the script. Using Spanish slang when her character can barely speak Spanish. Not believable.

[@waynedexter]

Some folks when they’re learning a language learn the slang first. For some even that’s all they learn is the slang. Also, don’t you think believability is a moot point when it comes to this movie, considering its storyline combined with it being a musical?

[@juanvasquez9399]

@ Talking about the non-musical dialogue. For Spanish speakers, sounds really silly. Currently is a meme in Tik Tok for Latin people. The movie will be released in January in Mexico to avoid further backlash.

[@waynedexter]

I just love Perri. She's the most logical, but still very passionate and respectful.

[@DavidN369]

"All About Eve," I do believe, is the other AMPAS nomination champ. "Emilia Pérez" is a Messterpiece, the like of which we haven’t seen since "Annette." My money's still on either Ariana or Zoe, and Kieran is riding pretty darned high, though Clarence, Edward and, yes, Denzel seem differently yet equally poised to get in. That said, "The Piano Lesson" is a potent adaptation of an iconic play, and if it hadn't already been done to perfection on TV in 1995 with Alfre Woodard and Charles Dutton, would think higher of its chances here. The current climate seems to weigh more against Jeremy than not, though he's certainly worthy. We shall see. This was a very engaging episode. Was especially taken by the zigzags between everyone's reactions; as ever, you three are just SO darned entertaining. More, please, thank you. Oh, and Happy Holiday !!! ❤❤❤

[@98LucasFG]

I’ll die on this hill, Emilia Perez was made to make cis/white people feel good about themselves for supporting a movie “centered” in a trans character. A lot of it didn’t sit right with me when I saw it and then every trans person I talked about it didn’t think it was good representation (even though Karla Sofia is good in the role), and then apparently mexicans also didn’t like the way the missing people/cartel thing was handled, specially with a script that didn’t feel native (hence the french director and all french screenplay writers)… The film definitely deserves acting and a few tech categories but for me it shouldn’t even be in contention for picture/writing/directing! The only thing that makes the hype make sense is how good people feel supporting it and I hate how exploitive that feels…

[@krishabbas]

One small request when talking about performances and movies: Can you try to avoid mentioning character arcs, resolutions and third act moments? Especially for movies that are not available to watch. Thanks! Always enjoy your work. Happy Holidays.

[@phillipporter4642]

Just left the same comment, glad to know I'm not alone! "Character X is a Y type character until the end of the movie when THIS happens and he becomes Z!" The movie hasn't even come out yet, i don't wanna have to skip through their discussion just to keep my viewing experience in tact.

[@waynedexter]

Exceeding low expectations is the wind beneath Adriana Grande’s sails. It kinda makes you wonder if the expectations weren’t so low initially would she even be a front runner to win….

[@ZachBobBob]

I'm with Jeff on the homework thing...I've heard Till is AMAZING but I still haven't seen it because I don't wanna feel that sad. If I was voting thought I'd force myself to see it. Same with The Brutalist coming up...I'll probably wait to watch it at home because its such a mammoth movie.

[@Tricki_Woo]

Love Aujanue Ellis Taylor in Nickel Boys. She was mesmerizing.

[@mudstyle5288]

Well done Jeff on Felicity

[@Jamal3.87]

I tend to agree with Jeff that certain movies are “homework” for people. Screening a movie that is already hyped up is an easier sir than those films that aren’t hyped up. The Brutalist, The Piano Lesson, and even Conclave are not hyped-up films.

[@iansmart4158]

Conclave is getting BRAT and MEAN GIRLS memes / fancams getting made. Ppl love this movie. The kiddos love Conclave!

[@Lvetto]

Every Spanish speaking person knows Emilia Perez is terrible. The script is wack not representative of how real people talk and the music is bullshit. Cero effort put in the lyrics. Some middleschooler just put some words in google translate and that’s how they wrote the songs. A musical with terrible songs should stand nowhere near an Oscar stage. The actresses did good tho.

[@JeanKrloA]

As a Latino living in Mexico, Emilia Perez is a horrible movie and most, if not all of us, think the same. It’s baffling how you feel so moved by a movie that belittles, and even mocks, a problem so sensitive, made by a frenchman who doesn’t care, who didnt even research the issue or the country at all. All of it feels like a joke. Even setting the issue aside, the musical part of it is cringy and awfully made, I really do not understand any of this. I have been watching you guys and the awards season religiously for a long time. But this Emilia Perez hype will be my breaking point. I don’t know if I will believe in the Academy’s prestige anymore after this.

[@andreuboada]

Emilia Pérez should not win. If you speak Spanish, I can assure you you could CLEARLY see why this movie isn’t as good as it is. Also, I find it quite unsettling how this movie kind of wants to shed a good light on the leader of a drug cartel, which is so harmful for Mexico and America.

[@ulicesvilla6995]

Agree with absolutely everything you just said. These people are animals and should be portrayed as such

[@sebastiano728]

True. It’s a European view of Mexico. I live in Mexico, and people here truly hate the film. There are no white saviours in the movie, but the film itself plays the role of white saviour, making a movie about a country that it claims has all these problems and these French-written characters portrayed by non-Mexicans have come to save the issues. It’s really kinda icky.

[@kelvinfields7804]

As a Latino, it is hard to love Emilia Pérez. Emblematic of films for Black actresses like Monster’s Ball, The Help, etc. where these actresses win Oscars but the films themselves are actually harmful.

[@Gavin48]

No film is harmful. Stop being super sensitive

[@andreuboada]

I went to see the Wicked movie with my dad today. He doesn’t like musicals, he’s really old now and is very special and picky, he gets frustrated and angry very quickly. Still, he was SO MOVED by Cynthia’s performance. It made me cry seeing how much he was enjoying the movie because I think it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him that happy in the movie theater. Afterwards, he said that he liked the movie quite a bit and that it was impressive and has never “seen something so spectacular”. I think we should respect the other great performances of 2024, but Wicked has got to be the frontrunner of almost every award. If it’s not given proper recognition, it will feel so frustrating and sad.

Jesus..no sorry mexican here. I have to chime in in this whole cancel Eugenio Derbez ridiculousness because he said something mean about Selena Gomez. Thats not what it was at all. The two people that participated in that interview said she was a good actress. It was not even about the accent. All that was said is that she didnt speak the language and because of that, because she didnt understand what she was saying the delivery of the lines was all wrong. She couldnt emote properly because she didnt understand the context. The dialogue she spoke made no sense. None of us would ever say those words in a sentence. To people that dont speak the language it just seems like the greatest performance ever. But its not! Thats all that was said and everyone s cancelling the poor guy now.

[@brockbuster]

The only thing I see working against an Ariana Grande win is Academy voters might not be willing to give her the Oscar on what is essentially her feature film debut. They might employ the "it's too soon" narrative, and swing votes towards Zoe Saldana, who has a 20+ year career in the industry and major box office clout backing her up.

And Dune Part 2 might be the 'Top Gun Maverick' of this year, which is a shame, because I think its the best movie to come out in years, but maybe that's just me.

[@trao1938]

Before drawing any comparisons to Jennifer Hudson's win for "Dreamgirls"- let's first remember how non-competitive her category was that year.. Hudson was up against three other completely unknown actresses (the two women from 'Babel' whose names I doubt most people remember, and the little girl from "Little Miss Sunshine') and Cate Blanchett, who'd just won the Oscar in the same category only two years before. The character Hudson played is considered the stand out role in the musical and a Leading Role (Jennifer Holiday won the Tony for Leading Actress on Broadway.) While Hudson's Oscar was certainly well-earned, it's also true that no other supporting actress that same year came anywhere close to taking the award from her.

[@patriciaespino6167]

Ariana Grande for the win! 💖💚💖💚I believe that out of both of Ariana Grande and Zoe Saldana's performance, Ariana Grande's performance stands out more than Zoe's. As much as people are predicting Zoe Saldana to win and yes for the time being she is the frontrunner, but the mistake that they are making with Zoe is having her campaign in supporting instead of leading that I believe that throughout awards season I can see that being a vulnerability for her making her less likely to win. Look at Lily Gladstone last year. And I agree with Perri that Emilia Perez is losing momentum. Just sayin'

while i understand the love for ariana grande here and i can see her getting nominated (because she deserves it) i can’t rationalise her snagging the win because she is not pursuing a career in film (at least not openly) she’s a musician so ultimately what would be the point? she wins the oscar but doesn’t take another film role on? she’s not attached to star in anything and she literally put out an album earlier this year idk i know anything can happen but i don’t see it

[@danielmendizabal13]

as a Spanish speaker, I did not have a problem with Selena Gomez's performance other than I wish she were on screen longer. the issue with the film over here and with her performance specifically is that people assume that she's supposed to be a Mexican woman speaking Spanish, when in fact she's an American woman with Spanish as her second language, like herself in real life.

[@sebastiano728]

I think it’s more than just Selena. No one in the main cast is Mexican, which would be ok if the film weren’t specifically about Mexican societal issues. The movie is wildly inaccurate to Mexico, and Gomez’s Spanish is so poor that it’s hard to believe she’d been married for years to a Mexican and has Mexican children. It’s a socially irresponsible movie with some great technical craftsmanship.

[@smann87]

@@sebastiano728- I have to agree 100%. I speak Spanish conversationally, which I just bring up because I watched the movie with my friend who speaks Spanish as their first language and we were disappointed a bit by Selena’s Spanish in the movie. Her delivery just lacked fluidity and I mentioned to my friend at the time that it sounded like she memorized the script word-by-word vs. fully understanding the language in it was like she took the same approach when anglophone speakers sing a song in Spanish, which apparently was correct. I completely agree with Jeff how people speaking Spanish can notice these things. Even if her character is American, the character has had years of exposure to the language which made her prononciation and delivery feel awkward. Side note: to me an Academy-award nominated performance should go to a performance you felt no other actor could have matched, and while Selena’s camp is fun to see in the movie and I have long rooted for her to gain more industry respect, plenty of other actors could have brought the same energy to this role while sounding more natural in terms of speaking Spanish.

[@chirisici]

I agree with you. Gomez's performance is a bit strange with the language issue, but I think it's unique and almost better for it. She is supposed to be someone who is living in a world that she doesn't fully understand, and living in situations that are almost beyond her limits. I think she gives a really interesting physical performance as a result, and the ending of the film, with her and Karla Sofia Gascon, is really beautiful. It's just a really weird and memorable performance.

[@thewstside]

@@chirisici if i remember correctly it is said in the film she met manitas at 18 years old, and they married a couple of years after that so you might be right

I do it a lot for ANY movie that FEELS like HOMEWORK. Regardless of who makes it.

[@aaronconnole8325]

I don’t think the homework comment has to do directly with runtime, its more about content and delivery of it. As many people have pointed out, Oppenheimer was 3 hours but didn’t feel like homework. Killers of the Flower Moon (which I personally loved) kind of did feel like homework. Jeff even admits that to some people Brutalist will be homework, he just happened to love it so it wasn’t for him.

Is there any chance of Adam Pearson or Carol Kane sneaking in? Pearson was absolutely brilliant in '"A Different Man." He owned every scene he was in and delivered a solid comic performance.

I love jeff

Hannuakah sameach for the FYC crew from the city of TLV

It would be ashamed if Selena Gomez gets in - and takes a place of far better actresses.

[@andresgrb182]

Selena Gomez it’s not phenomenal it’s atrocious

[@drdavid1963]

I have the same five for Supporting Actress - not convinced of Gomez or Taylor. Qualley might sneak in if The Substance continues its momentum but not yet. I currently have 4 for 5 in Supporting Actor with Clarence Maclin in place of Edward Norton. If A Complete Unknown gets in to Picture, Norton might have a shot (I'm split on the film v Nickel Boys for the 10 slot). Sing Sing seems to be getting in for Picture Actor and Screenplay and Maclin is the best thing in the movie for me.

[@isaiahwilson5495]

My five are Ariana Grande, Zoe Saladana, Danielle Deadwyler, Joan Chen and Anajaue Ellis Taylor. I think Chen is slowly rising since she's been getting more critic's nominations and I think she could sneak into SAG

[@kenanderson9673]

So the actress from Nickel Boys is “such a ridiculous idea” as supporting but Isabella is shoe in? Rossellini has four minutes(?) of dialogue but her mother gets trashed for her win in Orient Express. I understand that you’re saying noms not win.

[@stephaniemoore9122]

What is it about Sept 5 u can’t let it go. Glad Ed Nort is being recognized he is an inch actor he deserves it for his career just like Ralph Fiennes a lot of ‘deserves’ an award this year Chalamet deserves it Isabella deserves it. They all deserve it

[@justinpoletti7973]

Definitely going to come down to SAG award nominations for sure I think Margaret Qualley deserves a spot for supporting actress but it’s a competitive season this year and I love it. Emilia Perez led the Oscar shortlist mentions this year I wouldn’t be shocked if both ladies got in

[@ktom5262]

Perri loves Kieran Culkin for playing... Kieran Culkin. After all he is exactly the same, or almost exactly the same, in Succession.

[@christophercobb249]

His character in A Real Pain is literally nothing like his character in Succession. They are so vastly different that the only similarity is the fact that Kieran Culkin plays them both.

[@tristanfrench7198]

Perri is right imo - Gladiator II and Saturday Night are the most ridiculously overhyped movies this awards season. Neither one should be anywhere near the awards conversation

[@latissimusdomsi]

How often does Perri antidict stuff? Feels like it's been forever since I've heard her this low on a film's Oscar prospects (Glad II still has crafts right?)

[@thewstside]

i think margaret will replace danielle deadwyler

[@luistorres3220]

Im getting in this conversation: Spanish is my first language. Emilia Perez is a difficult film to watch if you are a Spanish speaker because of the different accents and the songs, BUT, Emilia Perez is also getting a lot of unwarranted hate from Spanish speaking people! It is a fantastic and bold film with amazing performances! Selena’s character is NOT a Spanish speaker, she learned to speak spanish when she married Manitas, Zoe’s character specifically says she is Dominican and went to Mexico to study, Karla’s character is Mexican but by the time we see her as Emilia she’s been in Europe for YEARS! The hate is extremely unwarranted and i even will say its coming from people that havent even seen the movie

[@ZlatanHu.]

Wholeheartedly agree! It's baffling how "cinefiles" bash such an original and unique cinematic achievement. Shameful indeed...

[@Jose-sx4ql]

I agree on everything except the Selena Gomez point, the movie is enjoyable until you get to her scenes, its 25% her fault for not knowing Spanish and 75% the writers/Directors fault for not giving her the time to prepare and for not having a fluent Spanish speaker double checking the dialogue. They used the "she was born in the states" as a crutch but the thing is, even Mexicans born here who speak a maximum of 10% Spanish do not use some of the words they made her say. They wrote her Spanish speaking parts like they got them off google translate it was so off putting.

[@luistorres3220]

Yes, some words we never use, but to my point, thats not Selena’s fault, and the fact she delivered them as well as she did is a testament to how good she was

[@chirisici]

Very much agree. And it's also pretty pesado (if you know Spanish) to always criticize people for their accents. I mean, give it a rest with that.

[@dahomey2001]

fellow mexican here, it reminds me a lot of the hate roma has received, different reasons tho I vividly remember mexican people, pundits, people from the press calling roma "overrated" and "stereotypical" And let's not even mention the harassment yalitza aparicio received from her own people, with racist and classist remarks she received from the public, press and even some actors I love my country, but i wholeheartedly believe we have the most annoying people Emilia could've done better, but misinformation is clearly feeding that hate it's receiving

[@jamielee7943]

My picks for the wins in Supporting are; Actress - Zoe Saldana Actor - Guy Pearce

[@shanesedlemyer4060]

I couldn’t stand Kieran Culkin, loved Jeff’s take on Yura Borisov. A stand out performance, but I don’t think he will win.

[@beabravo6759]

Oh do we have a bet with Yura Borisov.

[@RodneyDollar]

Feel it’s Ariana against Zoe Saldana

[@user-CatherineDodd]

I hope Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor will be nominated for her brilliant performance in "Nickel Boys".

[@stephaniemoore9122]

Ralph is always playing the same character Yuri we don’t know about him yet

[@Tricki_Woo]

Don’t be dismissive of Isabella Rossellini in “Conclave”. She can pull off a win especially with European voters.

[@kenanderson9673]

I’m trying to be nice…..Sister Isabella is an obvious nominee(reaction shots, small tense scene and TINY speech) but Tucci is a ridiculous idea as a nominee for Conclave with monologues and interaction.

[@charliemartial4897]

Was this taped before the Oscar short lists came out. Emilia Perez over performing- not fading away at all.

[@iansmart4158]

I don’t think they pay attention that much to stuff like that. Plus they even said it’ll prolly be the MOST nominated with the least amount of wins.

[@Aussie27Legend]

I'm not sure why this "latin american backlash" talk is coming from when critics have been pretty consistent and that doesn't really affect most oscar voters which are international not just north american. (it could be this years power of the dog imo)

[@donp6441]

Enjoy listening. Just be careful not to give away plot points anout the movies, or as they relate to character development as some of us haven't seen the movies yet .Holidays are always a busy time and it's hard to see everything yet. Thanks

[@Coco81218]

I think Margaret Qualley will get a surprise nomination for Best Supporting Actress
