This happens about 1/3 of the time. There are a couple weird years that can be thrown out like Winslet winning supporting for a The Reader and Del Toro winning lead for Traffic.
Only one of the races are locked up right now so it’s hard for me to say. I am currently predicting all 4 but there is a good chance I’m wrong about at least one of them.

Probably not. Everyone but Debose feel like they could lose.

No, I still think Kidman is winning. BUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 🤣🤣 It'll be either Chastain or (what I'm currently predicting) a shocking Stewart upset that'll (blessedly) put a bit of a lit on all the precursor obsession & premature assumptions.

Also, watch Hinds win BAFTA, and turn this into 2007 when Swinton won

Usually 4/4 comes from full sweeps across what are seen as the major precursors (Globes, BAFTA, SAG) in general, which is only possibly for actor (where Smith VERY easily could lose BAFTA) and supporting actress. So an upset seems likely for at least one category if not two or maybe even three (though not too likely).

So an upset seems likely for at least one category if not two or maybe even three (though not too likely). True, but for some reason I feel they go 4 for 4. Best Actor - I thought Smith might lose down the homestretch as Boseman did last year, but giving a great speech and seeing how much he’s well liked makes me think in the end he’ll go on to win now. It’s odd because I don’t feel like he’s overdue at all even though I think he can be a great actor, but I guess his timing was perfect in that Cumberbatch maybe in a stronger movie but isn’t really where awards have rallied around and the nature of his character. Best Actress - Again having a great speech really benefitted Chastain as well as having a baity character and transforming herself to such a degree, and of course the fractured race. Three other nominees are former winners, two in films that are stronger but nothing like when McDormand won her second and third Oscars, and Stewart is in a film that I could see some voters turning off and not watching completely. Best Supporting Actor - I think Smit-McPhee’s age will work against him. Voters are being more open, imo, or maybe it just seems that way in the past few years to younger male performances, but I think they’ll want to spread the vote, and POTD can win Adapted Screenplay, Director, and Picture as well as maybe Cinematography. Plus I really misjudged the love for CODA early on, but I think those that do love it will rally around Kotsur especially since he got to make a great speech too. Kotsur also seems to be campaigning more. I do think that actors can win without campaigning, but I think it makes it more difficult for Smit-McPhee because he’s not well known, his young age, and unfortunately imo that Kotsur comes across as very likable. Not that performances don’t matter either, but I think it will be close, and any positive could make the difference in who ends up winning. Best Supporting Actress - I thought maybe Negga might have a small chance to upset, but then we know what happened. Given how Negga and Balfe both missed, who I thought were her biggest competitors, I don’t see her losing especially with a role like Anita. I guess Dench has a slight chance as the sentimental favorite perhaps, but since she’s been absent all season long and Belfast couldn’t even win SAG, I don’t see it happening at all.
