Commentary - A great mix of newcomers, veterans, and previous nominees/winners makes for an interesting race. Early on, we already know that Miles Caton could be a force of nature if Sinners remains strong on the circuit (also watch out for his co-stars Delroy Lindo and Jack O'Connell"). I am hearing great buzz about After the Hunt, and Andrew Garfield is a previous nominee. Paul Mescal has already received one nod, and is one of the most sought after actors working today. He pairs up with Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao in Hamnet. Joachim Trier's return is set to be fantastic, and Stellan Skarsgaard might finally get a well overdue Oscar nomination. Same can be said for Adam Sandler, who may finally get recognition for Noah Baumbach's latest Jay Kelly. Right on the cusp are previous winners Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn for Paul Thomas Anderon's latest One Battle After Another. I also would watch out for Jeremy Strong and Stephen Graham in the upcoming Springsteen biopic. Beyond those there are a ton of previous nominees and winners with strong roles including William H. Macy, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Adam Driver, Jeffrey Wright, Javier Bardem, Christoph Waltz, Lucas Hedges and Steven Yeun. Great veterans looking for some overdue recognition include Jonathan Bailey, Andrew Scott, Josh O'Connor, Pierce Brosnan, Mark Hamill, Conan O'Brien, Christopher Abbott, David Harbour, Pedro Pascal, Jonathan Groff, Michael Cera, Tom Basden Paul Rudd, Katt Williams, and Lewis Pullman. Finally be on the lookout for new names and faces, and first timers like Stavros Halkias, Takehiro Hira, Jacob Elrodi, ASAP Rocky, and Harish Patel.
