Melissa Leo rises. Besides the apparent lack of contenders in supporting actress this year, this performance looks utterly outstanding. Based on the trailer, I suppose it's possible she could go lead but I don't think that's likely. If she goes supporting as anticipated, she may already have it in the bag. Thoughts? I think the movie looks good. I'm generally partial to films that tackle themes of religion and belief, especially when it comes to organized religion (The Magdalene Sisters, Beyond the Hills, Philomena, Spotlight, The Innocents, Doubt, etc), so this one definitely piques my interest. It's positive early reviews out of Sundance are promising as well. |

Leo's my early prediction for Supporting Actress, and really, I don't see a whole lot of competition for her right now unless Streep winds up going in supporting for The Papers. She looks excellent, and she's got enough respect in the industry that I could see her doubling down on her supporting actress prize.

Not bad. Stuff relating to faith and religious institution is always an interesting subject matter for me; as delicate as it is to deal with (and as much risk there is in depicting it), it can often lead to some fascinating character and thematic exploration. Leo looks solid, and I could definitely see her being in contention for this. The only really Supporting Actress frontrunner I was aware of beforehand was Mary J. Blige for Mudbound, whom I can still most easily visualize winning at this point, but I'd believe it if Leo got in the mix as well. Not sure how the film itself will fare with awards, though. Also looking forward to seeing how Margaret Qualley performs in a leading role.
