I watched or should I say listened to the FYC episode about Best Actress. Click here for the video, featuring Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and the contrarian Jeff Sneider. It's about 30 minutes long.
Now that pretty much all of the festivals are over, I want to know what you think will get nominated for Best Actress. Keep in mind, you don't have to go by my polling choices.
FESTIVAL WINNERS
Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Holy Spider - Cannes Best Actress Cate Blanchett, Tar - Venice Best Actress, Telluride Best Actress
ACTRESSES ATTACHED TO POPULAR FILMS Margot Robbie, Babylon
Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once
Michelle Williams, The Fablemans
Cate Blanchett, Tar
Rooney Mara, Women Talking
FYC BEST ACTRESS PICKS All of them picked Blanchett, Danielle Deadwyler for Till, Williams and Yeoh for their top 5. Mantz and Nemiroff had Viola Davis for The Woman King. Sneider had Olivia Colman for Empire of Light.
WILDCARDS Naomi Ackie, I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Ana de Armas, Blonde
Jennifer Lawrence, Causeway Emma Thompson, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande
Zoe Kazan, She Said (Please mark as Other)
Tang Wei, Decision to Leave
Anamaria Vartolomei, Happening

No Robbie because it looks like she's going supporting. Of the rest of the contenders I still think Davis is the strongest.

We all seem to agree on 4/5. This is definitely a meaty category.

Blanchett Deadwyler Robbie Williams Yeoh I do think Colman is a big threat. I definitely think we're writing off Empire of Light too quickly. That film just feels like the sort of thing critics would pass over but then gets a big  -back on the industry level. Its pedigree is just too strong to simply overlook. Plus we are certain it's at least getting into Cinematography because it's Deakins + Mendes, but Colman's reviews were also insanely strong even if the film wasn't. In any other year, the film having a middling reception around a Best Actress candidate wouldn't be an issue (i.e. last year). Colman herself proved that she can get in even if her film isn't warmly received, as The Lost Daughter had a very low RT score if memory serves. And as far as Dan's choices here, I definitely think one of Williams + Robbie will wind up running supporting; the Babylon camp would be insane not to take advantage of that void left by Williams, and I think that if Blanchett winds up picking up critics' steam, the Fabelmans crew will try to pull a Christoph Waltz 2.0 and switch her category again. |

Just found out that Carey Mulligan is going supporting and Zoe Kazan is going Lead. I know this will change nothing fŕom our polling results. A vote for Kazan would be in the other category

same as Tyler and I agree with Stephen that Colman is being underestimated. Empire of Light could stay in the 50s on metacritic and go on to miss big in other categories and Colman could absolutely still get in. She's a beloved actress and her ink was incredible.

what's interesting about these results in that there's a commanding lead for the top 4 and then we're all disagreeing about that 5th spot between Colman, Davis, Robbie and de Armas.
God bless whoever voted for Emma Thompson. Hopefully she can get a Globe nom
