Commentary - Michelle Williams moving to lead might be brilliant or a mistake, because I had her winning this supporting Oscar. But this leaves a wide-open race with a lot of fantastic contenders. Women Talking has an incredible cast, but right now it looks like Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley are rising to the top of list. Can both make it in? We will have to see, but both are awards magnets with great reviews in a top Best Picture contender. Everything Everywhere All at Once still makes me hesitant, but if voters embrace it, then watch out for Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis. Right now I have Hsu in, but I am already starting to see the buzz for Jamie Lee Curtis rise, a legend who has yet to earn an Oscar nomination. Babylon looks crazy, but it could be a chance for awards magnet Jean Smart breaking into the Oscar race. Finally, I moved in Janelle Monae. Glass Onion has a chance to do even better than Knives Out, and all of the reviews talk about Monae's amazing performance. Beyond those five though, you have Jamie Lee Curtis (as previously mentioned), Chau and Sink from The Whale, Nina Hoss who is climbing the odds for TAR, the She Said women, The Women King, Women Walking, Black Panther, and Avatar casts and Kerry Condon's talked about work in The Banshees of Inisherin. Recent nominees and winners like Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg (okay not recent, but you get the point), Vanessa Kirby, and Laura Dern should not be discounted, neither should Dolly De Leon, Keke Palmer, and Julia Butters.
