tick, tick...boom!

West Side Story

Other Contenders -Being the Ricardos, The Lost Daughter, Nightmare Alley, No Time to Die, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Tragedy of Macbeth, House of Gucci, The French Dispatch

Commentary - I think eight films are locked and loaded: Belfast, CODA, Don't Look Up, Dune, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, The Power of the Dog, and West Side Story. Based on guild showings, these would probably have been the nominees in the previous years system of 5-10 contenders. The last two slots are a mess. Being the Ricardos has done better than expected across the board, but I just feel like it will be relegated to a few categories. The Lost Daughter has been flirting with Oscar success, and I feel like it could surprise. Nightmare Alley, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and The French Dispatch are craft category favorites. No Time to Die and Spider-Man: No Way Home could be the blockbuster choices. Finally, House of Gucci cannot be discounted. But I am going with tick,tick...boom! which I feel like is a film with a passionate fan base (which helps in this phase), and Drive My Car. The membership has become a lot more international in recent years, and this film was a huge critical favorite. 

Best Director

Kenneth Branagh "Belfast"

Ryusuke Hamaguchi "Drive My Car"

Denis Villeneuve "Dune"

Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Other Contenders - Steven Spielberg "West Side Story", Adam McKay "Don't Look Up", Guillermo Del Toro "Nightmare Alley"

Commentary - The DGA five almost always loses a member at the Oscars. In recent years it has been a BAFTA nominated director of an international feature. I expect the same to happen here with Ryusuke Hamaguchi for Drive My Car. Unfortunately, I think Spielberg gets knocked out, but it could be Branagh or Villeneuve. Also watch out for Adam McKay and Guillermo Del Toro, past favorites in this category.

The Oscar Narrative: Final 2022 Nomination Predictions - Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress

Best Actor

Benedict Cumberbatch "The Power of the Dog"

Leonardo DiCaprio "Don't Look Up"

Andrew Garfield "tick, tick...boom!"

Will Smith "King Richard"

Denzel Washington "The Tragedy of Macbeth"

Other Contenders - Javier Bardem "Being the Ricardos", Peter Dinklage "Cyrano", Nicholas Cage "Pig"

Commentary - Four of the five are locked and loaded. Cumberbatch, Garfield, Smith, and Washington are all in, in a race that will be fun to watch between the four. The last slot is interesting. Javier Bardem got the SAG nod, a slot I expected Leonardo DiCaprio to take. Then DiCaprio got a BAFTA nod. This is a close race. I switched to DiCaprio. Don't Look Up is clearly popular, he is one of the most rewarded actors in recent history, and I think he will take the last slot. Also watch out for Dinklage and Cage, although if they were going to make a move, it might be too late to do so. 

Best Actress

Jessica Chastain "The Eyes of Tammy Faye"

Olivia Colman "The Lost Daughter"

Lady Gaga "House of Gucci"

Alana Haim "Licorice Pizza"

Nicole Kidman "Being the Ricardos"

Other Contenders - Jennifer Hudson "Respect", Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers", Rachel Zegler "West Side Story", Kristen Stewart "Spencer"

Commentary - This race is such a toss up. I really don't know if anyone is safe. I could literally see any of my predicted five getting replaced with the four other contenders. Olivia Colman missed out at BAFTA, a shock considering she is British. But I think she is so popular right now with American audiences. Nicole Kidman also missed out at BAFTA, but again, I thinks he has enough support across the pond. Gaga is the only contender that got all of the major precursors, so she feels safe. But House of Gucci has underperformed after the SAG triumph. Jessica Chastain could win, if she gets in, but that film has had a muted response other than her and the makeup. Finally, after BAFTA, I put in Alana Haim, especially as Licorice Pizza continues to rise. But will the newcomer beat more seasoned professionals? The answer is unknown until they unveil the five. Jennifer Hudson got SAG, is a previous winner, and has the narrative. Kristen Stewart was the front runner, but SAG and BAFTA snubs are hurting. Can she pull it off at the end? My guess is no, but don't discount her. Rachel Zegler is another one that has missed a lot, but if West Side Story surges, her breakthrough role could pull through. Finally, a lot of folks are predicting Penelope Cruz to overcomer her many snubs, and make it through. The Academy has become more international in recent years, Almodovar and Cruz are legends, and the film is fantastic. But that film has yet to pop up anywhere. I don't know if it can pull off a last minute miracle.

Best Supporting Actor

Bradley Cooper "Licorice Pizza"

Mike Faist "West Side Story"

Ciaran Hinds "Belfast"

Troy Kotsur "CODA"

Kodi Smit-McPhee "The Power of the Dog"

Other Contenders - Jared Leto "House of Gucci", Jesse Plemmons "The Power of the Dog", Ben Affleck "The Tender Bar"

Commentary - As soon as Ben Affleck was announced as a SAG nominee for The Tender Bar, I knew he would probably not make the Oscar final cut. Make no mistake, he is still in this race, but I feel like better films will prevail. I gave that slot to Ciaran Hinds, who rebounded from the SAG snub with a BAFTA nomination. Kodi Smit-McPhee and Troy Kotsur are the only locks, and both have hit all the major precursors. Bradley Cooper's SAG nod was a big step for a small role. I think his popularity and the popularity of Licorice Pizza will propel him to the top five. Finally, I have kept Jared Leto for House of Gucci in for a long time, but something tells me that someone else my take his slot. BAFTA nominated Jesse Plemmons and Mike Faist. Faist seems to have a passionate support, and he gives the bigger, bolder performance. I think he may surprise. 

Best Supporting Actress

Caitriona Balfe "Belfast"

Ariana DeBose "West Side Story"

Kirsten Dunst "The Power of the Dog"

Aunjanue Ellis "King Richard"

Ruth Negga "Passing"

Other Contenders - Jessie Buckley "The Lost Daughter", Ann Dowd "Mass", Cate Blanchett "Nightmare Alley", Marlee Matlin "CODA", Rita Moreno "West Side Story"

Commentary - Ariana DeBose and Caitriona Balfe feel safe, having hit all the major precursors. Ruth Negga has also hit them as well, but Passing is not as strong as Belfast or West Side Story. Kirsten Dunst missed as BAFTA, but I think she is strong enough to pull through. The last slot feels up in the air. SAG went with Cate Blanchett, but that feels like a SAG Nod that doesn't cross over. BAFTA went for Ellis, Buckley, and Dowd, and Matlin and Moreno are Oscar winning legends. I am going with Aunjanue Ellis. King Richard is stronger across the board than most folks realize, and I think her performance is powerful. But that slot could surprise.

The Oscar Narrative: Final 2022 Nomination Predictions - Best Adapted and Original Screenplay

Best Adapted Screenplay

Sian Heder "CODA"

Ryûsuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe "Drive My Car"

Eric Roth, Jon Spaihts, Denis Villeneuve "Dune"

Maggie Gyllenhaal "The Lost Daughter"

Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"

Other Contenders - Guillermo Del Toro "Nightmare Alley", Steven Levenson "tick, tick...boom!", Tony Kushner "West Side Story"

Commentary -  BAFTA lined up my expectations for this category pretty well. The Lost Daugher, The Power of the Dog, and Drive My car were not eligible for the WGA. Both CODA and Dune crossed over both voting bodies, so I expected they will snag slots. tick, tick...boom! and West Side Story would have to overcome a bias towards musicals, and Nightmare Alley has faltered lately. I expect the BAFTA support for the three ineligible contenders will carry them to Oscar contention. A lot of folks are not picking Dune, but WGA and BAFTA shows a lot of love from the writers. If it misses out, expect Kushner to take that final slot. 

Best Original Screenplay

Aaron Sorkin "Being the Ricardos"

Kenneth Branagh "Belfast"

Adam McKay "Don't Look Up"

Zach Baylin "King Richard"

Paul Thomas Anderson "Licorice Pizza"

Other Contenders - Pedro Almodovar "Parallel Mothers", Wes Anderson & Roman Coppola & Hugo Guinness & Jason Schwartzman "The French Dispatch", Asghar Farhadi "A Hero", Mike Mills "C'mon C'mon", Fran Krantz for Mass. 

Commentary - Again, I am going with the BAFTA five, which have been my five for awhile. The WGA put in The French Dispatch, but that was because Belfast was ineligible. The other four crossed WGA and BAFTA. The writers though have been known to throw curveballs, so watch out for Almodovar, a previous screenwriting winner, Anderson and crew (a WGA nod is indicative), Farhadi, Mills, and Fran Krantz for Mass.
