The Oscar Narrative: First 2024 Nomination Predictions - Best Supporting Actor

First 2023 Nomination Predictions
Don Cheadle "White Noise"
Paul Dano "The Fabelmans"
Anthony Hopkins "Armageddon Time"
Glynn Turman "Rustin"
Ben Whishaw "Women Talking"

Other Contenders - Ke Huy Quan "Everything Everywhere All at Once", Seth Rogen "The Fabelmans", Michael Ward "Empire of Light", Colin Farrell "Thirteen Lives", Joel Edgerton "Thirteen Lives", Viggo Mortensen "Thirteen Lives", Zen McGrath "The Son", Tommy Lee Jones "The Burial", Tom Hanks "Elvis", Woody Harrelson "Triangle of Sadness", Ralph Fiennes "The Menu", Tobey Maguire "Babylon", Russell Crowe "The Greatest Beer Run Ever", Barry Keoghan "The Banshees of Inisherin", Brendan Gleeson "The Banshees of Inisherin", John David Washington "Amsterdam", Chris Rock "Amsterdam", Michael Shannon "Amsterdam", Timothy Olyphant "Amsterdam", Robert DeNiro "Amsterdam", Rami Malek "Amsterdam", Adrien Brody "Blonde", Frankie Faison "Till", Leslie Odom Jr. "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", Edward Norton "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", Andre Braugher "She Said", Andre Holland "Shirley", Lucas Hedges "Shirley", Terrence Howard "Shirley", Colin Farrell "The Batman", Paul Dano "The Batman", Andy Serkis "The Batman", Michael Stuhlbarg "Bones and All", Mark Rylance "Bones and All", 

Commentary - A race that was surely to include Jesse Plemmons and Robert DeNiro for Killers of the Flower Moon, now suddenly has a huge void that needs to be filled. Right now I am not picking anyone from the casts of Thirteen Lives, Amsterdam, Glass Onion, Shirley, or Bones and All. A lot of big names, and lot of big question marks. If certain members of the cast rise to the top of the pile, they will be included along the way. Paul Dano has been so close to Oscar glory recently, and the Steven Spielberg biopic could finally be his ticket to Oscar gold. Anthony Hopkins has been on a streak lately, and returns in James Gray's latest with Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway. It has been too long since Don Cheadle's lone Oscar nod, and could return for Noah Baumbach's latest, White Noise. Women Talking could be one of the breakout hits of the Oscar season, and Ben Whishaw could be one of its benefactors. Finally, Glynn Turman did so well with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and could finally get some well overdue recognition for George C. Wolfe's follow-up Rustin. Beyond those five, a lot of folks are banking on Ke Huy Quan, but I need to see some precursors before I bank on Oscar voters embracing Everything Everywhere All At Once. Previous winners and nominees like Tom Hanks, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Robert DeNiro, Rami Malek, Adrien Brody, Leslie Odom Jr., Edward Norton, Lucas Hedges, and Mark Rylance. Also be on the lookout for veterans and newcomers looking for their first nods like Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire, Zen McGrath, Michael Ward, Seth Rogen, Andre Holland, Andre Braugher, Andy Serkis, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan, John David Washington, Timothy Olyphant, and Chris Rock.

The Oscar Narrative: First 2023 Nomination Predictions - Best Supporting Actress

First 2023 Nomination Predictions
Jessie Buckley "Women Talking"
Patricia Clarkson "She Said"
Laura Dern "The Son"
Jean Smart "Babylon"
Michelle Williams "The Fabelmans"

Other Contenders - Vanessa Kirby "The Son", Anne Hathway "Armageddon Time", Anya Taylor-Joy "Amsterdam", Zoe Saldana "Amsterdam", Zoe Kazan "She Said", Jennifer Ehle "She Said", Samantha Morton "She Said", Da'Vine Joy Randolph "Rustin", Audra McDonald "Rustin", CCH Pounder "Rustin", Frances McDormand "Women Talking", Rooney Mara "Women Talking", Claire Foy "Women Talking", Julianne Nicholson "Blonde", Greta Gerwig "White Noise", Stephanie Hsu "Everything Everywhere All At Once", Jamie Lee Curtis "Everything Everywhere All At Once", Sadie Sink "The Whale", Hong Chau "The Whale", Whoopi Goldberg "Till", Allison Janney "True Love", Rachel McAdams "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret", Kathy Bates "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret", Griselda Sicillani "Bardo", Thuso Mbedu "The Woman King", Lashana Lynch "The Woman King", Margaret Qualley "Poor Things", Kate Winslet "Avatar: The Way of Water", Sigourney Weaver "The Way of Water", Angela Bassett "Black Panther: Wakanda Rising", Lupita Nyong'o "Black Panther: Wakanda Rising", Janelle Monae "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", Kathryn Hahn "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery", Kate Hudson "A Knives Out Mystery"

Commentary - This early in the season, these races are really a toss-up, mostly based on name recognition and buzzed projects. Like Jessie Buckley potentially returning after surprising in the this race last year, for Sarah Polley's return to the big screen. Another great example is Michelle Williams for the Steven Spielberg semi-autobiographical film The Fablemans. Williams has been so close to Oscar glory, and this could finally be her year. Florian Zeller's follow-up to his Oscar-winning The Father gives recent winner Laura Dern another shot at Oscar gold. Jean Smart maybe known as a television and Emmy-winning legend, but if she brings her star power to Damien Chazelle's latest Babylon, and holds her own against Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, she could add Oscar Winner to her long list of accolades. Finally, She Said could be this year's All the President's Men or Spotlight, and veteran actress Patricia Clarkson could get a well overdue second Oscar nomination. But there are a lot of potential contenders including Clarkon's co-stars, Buckely's co-stars, Dern's co-star Vanessa Kirby, the actresses of David O. Russell's latest, George C. Wolff's latest, and Rian Johnson's Knives Out sequel. Previous winners and nominees Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg, Allison Janney, Kathy Bates, Rachel McAdams, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'o, and Greta Gerwig are looking to return to the race. Throw in upstarts, veterans, and others looking for their first nod like Jamie Lee Curtis, Hong Chau, Stephanie Hsu, Julianne Nicholson, Claire Foy, Grisela Sicillani, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Margaret Qualley, and Sadie Sink, and this race is a fun one to watch.

14th Annual Awards Psychic Halfway Awards Winners

Best Picture
Winner - Everything Everywhere All at Once
Runners Up - Happening, The Northman, Turning Red
Commentary - Everything Everywhere All at Once wins this award for several reasons. First it is a hell of a movie, impeccably crafted from the amazing imaginations of Dan Swan and Daniel Scheinert, who borrow from other films, but really create their own unique creation that is wildly entertaining, endlessly fascinating, and a clearly brilliantly constructed work of art. Second, it has a great cast that knock it out of the park. Third, and finally, this film has ended up as A24's most successful film at the box office ever. As indie films are still struggling to return post-COVID, this film is a reminder that a truly original and buzzed indie film can still put butts in theater seats. A triumph all around. 

Best Director
Winner - Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Runners Up  - Audrey Diwan “Happening”, Robert Eggers “The Northman”, Joseph Kosinski “Top Gun: Maverick”
Commentary - See Best Picture

Best Actor
Winner - Caleb Landry Jones “Nitram”
Runners Up - Tim Roth “Sundown”, Nicholas Cage “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”, Austin Butler “Elvis”, Tom Cruise “Top Gun: Maverick”
Commentary - I didn't hate Elvis, and I admit that Austin Butler did capture the spirit of the King. So kudos to him. But the performance in this category that still lingers with me is the haunting portrayal by Caleb Landry Jones in Nitram, which won him the Best Actor award at Cannes. Brilliantly mixing the mental health, the humanity, and the evil in an important and difficult balance, Jones proves he is an amazing young talent, and can bring ferocity to the silver screen. 

Best Actress
Winner - Michelle Yeoh “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Runners Up - Sandra Bullock “The Lost City”, Anamaria Vartolomei “Happening” , Haley Lu Richardson “Montana Story”
Winner - Michelle Yeoh is just a freaking bad ass. She is fierce, funny, talented, and just lights up the screen in Everything Everywhere All at Once. She is one of our under-recognized legend, and hopefully this role will make folks realize just what they have been missing over the last couple of decades. 

Best Supporting Actor
Winner - Pedro Pascal “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”
Runners Up - Colin Farrell “The Batman” and Miles Teller “Top Gun: Maverick”
Commentary - Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent has its high moments, and its low moments, and while it isn't a failure, it isn't as entirely successful as it could have been. That being said, it is hard to ignore Pedro Pascal in this film, and his chemistry with Nicholas Cage. His balancing act of loveable companion and bad guy is brilliant, funny, and shows the range of Pascal's acting prowess. The Mandalorian might be his big lead role, but in the show, he has the emotional range of a desk chair. This role proves he is deserving of bigger, bolder, and funnier roles. 

Best Supporting Actress
Winner - Stephanie Hsu “Everything Everywhere All at Once”
Runners Up - Jamie Lee Curtis “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, Anya Taylor-Joy “The Northman”, and Zoe Kravitz “The Batman”
Commentary - It's hard to stand alongside Michelle Yeoh and hold your own. Stephanie Hsu did just that. I knew her from her underappreciated role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. In that role, she shoes her comedic timing, and her gift of conversational flair. Here, we see her expand on that humor, and bring depth to the humor, proving that she is one to continue to watch. 

Best Screenplay
Winner - Domee Shi, Julia Cho, and Sarah Streicher “Turning Red”
Runners Up - Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert “Everything Everywhere All at Once", Ari Katcher and Ryan Welch “On the Count of Three”
Commentary - See Animated Feature

Best Animated Feature
Winner - Turning Red
Runner Up - The Bob's Burgers Movie
Commentary - I loved the quirkiness of The Bob's Burgers Movie, which was pure fan service that actually worked on the big screen. But, I can not deny the power of Pixar's Turning Red, another important, vital, and incredibly well-made animated classic from a studio that has mastered its artform. This film is getting in trouble with certain parents for being too "mature", for tackling themes that they think are "inappropriate" for kids of all ages. Maybe their problem is that Turning Red turns shame into triumph, is not afraid to tell the truth, and proves that Pixar continues to mature and evolve in its storytelling. 

Best Ensemble
Winner - Top Gun: Maverick
Runners Up - Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Northman, Turning Red
Commentary - Top Gun: Maverick is fun summer fun, that builds on the nostalgia with energy, humor, and action-packed goodness. It gets a lot of credit for many of its elements, but I think its biggest asset is its cast. The blending of veterans and newcomers works so well because all involved jump right into the fun, easy-going nature of the film's vibe, and do so in a way that highlights the talents of its many cast members.

2022 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series

Best Drama Series
Ozark
Severance
Squid Game
Stranger Things
Succession
This is Us
Yellowjackets
Yellowstone

Other Contenders - Better Call Saul,  Euphoria, Pachinko, Killing Eve, The Morning Show

Commentary - I did a stupid thing that I will probably regret, but I moved out Better Call Saul. It slipped a lot in its last Emmy showing, and the are just so many buzzed shows coming in strong this year. If it ends up getting nominated, I will not be surprised, but instead, I added back in Yellowjackets. I feel pretty good about Succession, Squid Game, and Ozark. Beyond that, I see wiggle room. I think that Yellowstone, after its sudden rise on the awards circuit, is in, as are two hot new series Yellowjackets and Severance. I moved back in This is Us for its final season, a move that goes against many pundits. Finally, I added back in Stranger Things based on the buzz alone. This season is everywhere, and is breaking Nielson ratings. I could though see Better Call Saul or Killing Eve gettting back in, or upstart shows like The Morning Show and Euphoria breaking through. 

Best Comedy Series
Abbott Elementary
Atlanta
Barry
Hacks
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Only Murders in the Building
Ted Lasso
What We Do in the Shadows

Other Contenders - black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Reservation Dogs, Better Things, Somebody Somewhere, Insecure, The Afterparty, Russian Doll

Commentary - I have settled on this group for awhile, which concerns me. I am not at all worried about Ted Lasso, Hacks, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. All are incredibly popular with these voters. Only Murders in the Building did well on the winter circuit, and had a second season premiere in the thick of voting. Barry and Atlanta have been out of the game for awhile, but both were wildly popular in their previous Emmy outings. What We Do in the Shadows was a huge surprise nominee for its previous season, so I am betting on a return. Finally, I am going with breakout hit Abbott Elementary which dominated the TCA Award nominations, has been a huge ratings hit, and has campaigned hard for Emmy love. black-ish, Insecure, Russian Doll, and Curb Your Enthusiasm could all return, The Afterparty and Reservation Dogs were breakout hits, and Emmy voters should be paying attention to Better Things and Somebody Somewhere.

2022 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Actor and Best Actress in a Drama Series

Best Actor in a Drama Series
Jason Bateman "Ozark"
Sterling K. Brown "This is Us"
Kevin Costner "Yellowstone"
Brian Cox "Succession" 
Lee Jung-jae "Squid Game"
Jeremy Strong "Succession"

Other Contenders - Bob Odenkirk "Better Call Saul", Adam Scott "Severance", Lee Min-ho "Pachinko", Jonathan Bailey "Bridgerton"

Commentary - Bob Odenkirk's snub last time has weighed heavily on me, and I moved in Kevin Costner in that sixth slot, with the sudden rise of Yellowstone on the awards circuit. The other five feel pretty set. Previous winners Sterling K. Brown and Jeremy Strong feel safe, as do Jason Bateman and Brian Cox. Throw in this year's SAG Winner Lee June-jae, and you have only one slot to really play with, and most people are predicting Odenkirk. If it is neither Odenkirk nor Costner, look for Adam Scott if Severance comes in hot, Lee Min-ho or Jonathan Bailey to upset. 

Best Actress in a Drama Series
Jennifer Aniston "The Morning Show"
Jodie Comer "Killing Eve"
Laura Linney "Ozark"
Melanie Lynskey "Yellowjackets"
Mandy Moore "This is Us"
Zendaya "Euphoria"

Other Contenders - Sandra Oh "Killing Eve", Britt Lower "Severance", Reese Witherspoon "The Morning Show", Juliette Lewis "Yellowjackets", Kelly Reilly "Yellowstone"

Commentary -  Jennifer Aniston, Laura Linney, and Zendaya feel locked and loaded, and I am really hopeful that voters put Mandy Moore back in for her great final season of This is Us. Melanie Lynskey won the Critics Choice and there is a lot of love behind Yellowjackets. Finally, I am predicting previous winner Jodie Comer to get in one last time. But I am weary of those last two slots with names like Britt Lower, Sandra Oh, Kelly Reilly, Reese Witherspoon, and Juliette Lewis on the ballot. This race could end up with a few surprises.

Bill Hader "Barry"
Steve Martin "Only Murders in the Building"
Martin Short "Only Murders in the Building"
Jason Sudeikis "Ted Lasso"

Other Contenders - Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Nicholas Hoult "The Great", Don Cheadle "Black Monday", Rhys Darby "Our Flag Means Death", Jake Johnson "Minx", Ricky Gervais "After Life", Kayvan Novak "What We Do in the Shadows", Matt Berry "What We Do in the Shadows"

Commentary - This race is ripe for a surprise, but I am going back to old favorites. Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis are definitely coming back. I think Donald Glover is too, but the pundits are not high on Atlanta. It makes me wonder if they are hearing a muted reaction from Emmy voters. The dynamic comedy legendary duo of Steve Martin and Martin Short feel like they are going to take two slots. Finally, I moved in Anthony Anderson, who continually gets nominated for black-ish. Larry David and Don Cheadle could easily return, Nicholas Hoult is on the cusp of getting in, Jake Johnson is hilarious, as is Rhys Darby, and I think voters really need to make room for the What We Do in the Shadows pair. 

Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Rachel Brosnahan "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
Quinta Brunson "Abbott Elementary"
Kaley Cuoco "The Flight Attendant"
Issa Rae "Insecure"
Tracee Ellis Ross "black-ish"
Jean Smart "Hacks"

Other Contenders - Selena Gomez "Only Murders in the Building", Elle Fanning "The Great", Sarah Lancashire "Julia", Rose McIver "Ghosts", Natasha Lyonne "Russian Doll", Sandra Oh "The Chair", Pamela Adlon "Better Things", Bridget Everett "Somebody Somewhere", Natasha Demetriou "What We Do in the Shadows"

Commentary - A tough race that could have 20 slots, and not feel like enough. We know Jean Smart is coming back, and I expect that Kaley Cuoco and Rachel Brosnahan will join her. A lot of folks are mixed on the return of Issa Rae and Tracee Ellis Ross, but with both being final seasons, and both on a streak, I feel like they will return. That leaves one new slot, which I am saving for Quinta Brunson. But Selena Gomez is in a hot show, as is Elle Fanning. Natasha Lyone and Pamela Adlon are returning. Bridget Everett is fantastic. Rose McIver is a new favorite and Sarah Lancashire is playing a legend. This is going to be an interesting race to watch.

2022 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Nicholas Braun "Succession"
Billy Crudup "The Morning Show"
Kieran Culkin "Succession"
Giancarlo Esposito "Better Call Saul"
Matthew Macfayen "Succession"
Alan Ruck "Succession"
Chris Sullivan "This is Us"
Oh-young Soo "Squid Game"

Other Contenders - John Turturro "Severance", Jonathan Banks "Better Call Saul", Eric Dane "Euphoria". Park Hae-soo "Squid Game", David Harbour "Stranger Things", Christopher Walken "Severance", Steve Carell "The Morning Show", Mark Duplass "The Morning Show"

Commentary - Yes, I am predicting that all four Succession guys make the cut. I think it is that strong going into Tuesday's announcement. Billy Crudup won this award, the last time he was eligible, so he should easily come back. Oh-young Soo won the Globe, and Squid Game is strong. Giancarlo Esposito almost always gets nominated. Finally, I am banking on the Chris Sullivan streak to continue for This is Us, an unpopular opinion among pundits. Jonathan Banks could get back in, as could Steve Carell, David Harbour, and Mark Duplass. If Squid Game is on a streak, watch out for Park Hae-soo. Also watch our for the legends Christopher Walken and John Turturro, and a breakthrough year for Eric Dane for Euphoria. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Patricia Arquette "Severance"
Millie Bobby Brown "Stranger Things"
Julia Garner "Ozark"
Jung Ho-yeon "Squid Game"
Christina Ricci "Yellowjackets"
Fiona Shaw "Killing Eve"
J. Smith-Cameron "Succession"
Sarah Snook "Succession"

Other Contenders - Julianna Margulies "The Morning Show", Rhea Seehorn "Better Call Saul", , Yuh-Junh Youn "Pachinko", Sadie Sink "Stranger Things", Sydney Sweeney "Euphoria", Kim Joo-ryoung "Squid Game", Sally Field "Winning Time", Nicola Coughlan "Bridgerton", Melissa McCarthy "Nine Perfect Strangers"

Commentary - Julia Garner could go 3/3, even though no one is predicting her. Sarah Snook is her biggest competition, but now has J. Cameron-Smith to split voters. Jung Ho-yeon will carry the Squid Game love (and could be joined by Joo-ryoung). Patricia Arquette is a favorite, as is Milly Bobby Brown for the massively popular season of Stranger Things. Finally, I moved Fiona Shaw back in, after not predicting her for two straight years, and I have Christina Ricci, assuming voters loved Yellowjackets. But that leaves out Oscar winner YJ, Emmy favorite Julianna Margulies, and the perennial nomination bridesmaid Rhea Seehorn. Sydney Sweeney had a hell of a season on Euphoria, Sadie Sink should be the Stranger Things nominee (or at least the first of the two), Nicola Couglhan is a breakout, and Sally Field and Melissa McCarthy are Emmy favorites. 

2022 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Anthony Carrigan "Barry"
Carl Clemons-Hopkins "Hacks"
Paul W. Downs "Hacks"
Brett Goldstein "Ted Lasso"
Tony Shalhoub "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
Kenan Thompson "Saturday Night Live"
Henry Winkler "Barry"
Bowen Yang "Saturday Night Live"

Other Contenders - Nick Mohammed "Ted Lasso", Stephen Root "Barry", Brian Tyree Henry "Atlanta", Jeremy Swift "Ted Lasso", Brendan Hunt "Ted Lasso", David Hyde Pierce "Julia", Ben Schwartz "The Afterparty", Harvey Guillen "What We Do in the Shadows", LaKeith Stanfield "Atlanta", Luke Kirby "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", Andre Braugher "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"

Commentary - This race is brutal, and could make or break your Emmy predictions. There are literally 14 previous nominees for these roles, and at least six or so other contenders to watch out. So 20 guys for 8 slots, and it could be a combination of any of those actors. I feel safe predicting the legends Tony Shalhoub and Henry Winkler, as well as last year's winner Brett Goldstein. Beyond that, it is anybody's game. SNL has continually done well in the acting categories, so I have both Thompson and Yang returning. I also have Anthony Carrigan returning as Barry did really well in this category in its last eligible season. In the last two slots, I am banking on Hacks doing really well, not only bringing back Carl Clemons-Hopkins, but also bringing in Paul W. Downs. I just expect this film to really grow in its second season in contention. But that leaves out the other three Ted Lasso guys, Brian Tyree Henry and LaKeith Stanfield, Luke Kirby, Andre Braugher, and some new contenders like David Hyde Pierce (a huge Emmy favorite), Harvey Guillen, and Ben Schwartz. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Alex Borstein "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
Hannah Einbinder "Hacks"
Sarah Goldberg "Barry"
Janelle James "Abbott Elementary"
Kate McKinnon "Saturday Night Live"
Cecily Strong "Saturday Night Live"
Juno Temple "Ted Lasso"
Hannah Waddingham "Ted Lasso"

Other Contenders - Meg Stalter "Hacks", Amy Ryan "Only Murders in the Building", Yvonne Orji "Insecure", Aidy Bryant "Saturday Night Live", Marin Hinkle "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", Molly Shannon "The Other Two", Ariana DeBose "Schmigadoon!", Zazie Beetz "Atlanta"

Commentary - Another brutal category with WAY too many contenders. Alex Borstein, Hannah Einbinder, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and Kate McKinnon are locked and loaded, and so is Sarah Goldberg probably, which leaves only two slots to play with in terms of predictions. I am going with the upstart Janelle James for Abbott Elementary, and with Cecily Strong, who has become a perennial in this category. But what about returning contenders like Zazie Beetz, Aidy Bryant, and Yvonne Orji? What about the scene-stealer Meg Stalter, or Oscar winner/nominee Ariana DeBose and Amy Ryan? What about the legendary Molly Shannon? The answer to these questions, is yes, they could easily take a slot.
