The Oscar Narrative: Post Venice/Toronto/Telluride Nomination Predictions - Best Supporting Actor

Post Venice/Toronto/Telluride Nomination Predictions
Brendan Gleeson "The Banshees of Inisherin"
Judd Hirsch "The Fabelmans"
Brad Pitt "Babylon"
Ke Huy Quan "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
Ben Whishaw "Women Talking"

Other Contenders - Barry Keoghan "The Banshees of Inisherin", Paul Dano "The Fabelmans", Jeremy Strong "Armageddon Time", Woody Harrelson "Triangle of Sadness", Anthony Hopkins "Armageddon Time", Eddie Redmayne "The Good Nurse", John Boyega "The Woman King", Toby Jones "Empire of Light", Edward Norton "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story", Don Cheadle "White Noise", Tom Hanks "Elvis", Seth Rogen "The Fabelmans", Brian Tyree Henry "Causeway", Zen McGrath "The Son", Anthony Hopkins "The Son", Andre Braugher "She Said", Colin Farrell "Thirteen Lives", Colin Firth "Empire of Light", Michael Stuhlbarg "Bones & All", Pedro Pascal "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent", Stanley Tucci "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", Tom Pelphrey "She Said", Tobey Maguire "Babylon", Steven Yeun "Nope"

Commentary - Brendan Gleeson and Judd Hirsch emerged from the fall festivals, as their films become big Best Picture contenders. The Oscar could come down to those beloved veterans. Brad Pitt, for now remains in the top five, but two things could risk his nod, the film and his personal press. Ben Whishaw is apparently a standout, and the only major male character in Women Talking. Ke Huy Quan remains strong as long as Everything Everywhere All at Once continues its buzz. Beyond those five, there are a lot of names. Jeremy Strong is getting a lot of attention for his role in Armageddon Time, Woody Harrelson is a scene-stealer in Triangle of Sadness, and Barry Keoghan or Paul Dano could join their co-stars. Previous nominees and winners like Eddie Redmayne, Edward Norton, Anthony Hopkins, Stanley Tucci, Steven Yeun, Colin Firth, Don Cheadle, and Tom Hanks all have potential. A mixture of veterans and newcomers like John Boyega, Brian Tyree Henry, Tobey Maguire, Pedro Pascal, Toby Jones, Seth Rogen, Zen McGrath, Andre Braugher, Colin Farrell, and Michael Stuhlbarg are all looking for their first nomination.

The Oscar Narrative: The End

Okay, let's get this part out of the way. Screw you Will Smith. Screw you (I would use stronger language, but I'll refrain). The big screen was back, a normal Oscar ceremony celebrating films actually happened. Many of the films honored actually played in theaters. Many of them drew audiences back to the theaters. The return to some sort of semblance of normalcy in our culture seemed to be on the horizon. You, your outburst, your unnecessary ridiculousness dominated the headlines this morning, instead of what should have been dominating those headlines.

The Oscars rebounded their ratings. It is still lower than before, but it was a 56% increase from the pandemic ceremony, and as streaming increases, I suspect the numbers will always improve after a few days moving forward. We finally had hosts again, and overall, they were funny, and engaging, and did their job, although I would argue we needed more of them. The first openly queer person of color won an acting award sitting next to her co-star, who won for this role 60 years ago. The first deaf man, and only second deaf actor won an Oscar, and when YJ signed his name, it was one of the most openly heartfelt moments in recent awards history. Jessica Chastain, a hard working actor, finally won her first Oscar for a passion project of a misunderstood icon. Kenneth Branagh finally won an Oscar for his best film. Two female filmmakers, Sian Heder and Jane Campion, won Oscars. Jane Campion became only the third woman to win Best Director, and for the first time ever, we had back to back female winners. Dune, a box office success, won 6 awards. Summer of Soul's win, and Questlove's speech, were a lovely rebound from a dark moment. These are just a few of those great moments. Sure, everything didn't work. Despite cutting the fluff from 8 categories, they still ran 30 minutes over, the In Memoriam segment was just a bit too joyous, the fan voted stuff was ridiculous, and the ratings were still incredibly low for what should be one of the highlights of the year. But that is every major live event. The positives, far outweighed the negatives, and yet all we are talking about at the watercoolers is Will Smith being an ass. This was going to be his night. The first time he won an Oscar for a passion project. He was good in the film. He was deserving of recognition. He ruined that opportunity. The Academy may never invite him back, and they would be right in that decision. 

In the end though, the less I thought about Will Smith, and the more I thought about those positive moments, the darkness of that moment started to fade away. The Oscars are a flawed experience. I have been watching this ceremony for decades now, and have been covering them as a blogger for now 12 years, and they have never gotten it 100% right. You know, the critics, with social media, and so many distractions, are always going to find fault. Unfortunately, the Will Smith moments, help that narrative. I still plead to all those out there that love film, that believe in its magic, that still find hope and love and community in the darkness of the shared moments of the theatrical experience. I plead that they will still care about the Oscars, despite their flaws. Because, at the end of the day, it is not about who wins, and who loses. It is about a celebration of an artform that we love. Maybe CODA will not be remembered as a cinematic classic. It will not be studied in film school and adored by cinephiles. But maybe, just maybe, it is the film that we needed at this moment. After two dark years of our history, with a war whose atrocities have united the Western world, but still remain atrocious, with a looming specter of a fragile democracy at the hands of a political party that seems hell bent on destruction for power, we need hope. CODA is a movie about hope. It is a movie that offends no one, because it unites everyone. It is about diversity, maybe in a way we haven't considered enough. It is about the power of family, the power of love, and again, the power of hope; and we all need that. 

We are entering the unfortunate year thirteen here at The Awards Psychic. I know that this blog is more for me, than for those fans out there, the few and far between. But for those who have stuck it out all these years, thank you. The Oscars will continue to flabbergast, annoy, inspire, and dominate headlines for all the wrong reasons. But those of us who are not in it for the glory, are not in it because our favorite film always wins, but who are in it for the love of film, The Oscars will continue to dominate our collective conversation. Thank you for joining me again for another Oscar narrative. Today the story ends. I hate this day, I hate the void, and the quiet. At least I know that another season is always on the horizon, and I hope you continue to join me for the ride.

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

Best Actor
Will Win - Will Smith "King Richard"
Could Win - Benedict Cumberbatch "The Power of the Dog" or Andrew Garfield "tick, tick...boom!"
Should Win - Smith or Garfield
Commentary - Cumberbatch seemed like a lock to win the BAFTA. When Will Smith won there, I knew it was over. Smith as swept the major precursors, has star power, has been campaigning with the Williams' sisters, and has hit the point in his career where recognition is deserved. 

Best Actress
Will Win - Jessica Chastain "The Eyes of Tammy Faye"
Could Win - Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers", Olivia Colman "The Lost Daughter", or Kristen Stewart "Stewart"
Should Win - Chastain
Commentary - Penelope Cruz is peaking at the right minute, and there is a lot of passionate support for her performance. Kristen Stewart has a lot of support too, and neither her nor Cruz were nominated at SAG, so this race is completely different than every other major precursor. Colman has never won an individual SAG Award, and still managed an Oscar and an Emmy. She is just so popular, and has upset before. But there seems to be a lot of momentum for Jessica Chastain, and the story of how she got this film made is inspiring. It is a tight race though and anything could happen.

Best Supporting Actor
Will Win- Troy Kotsur "CODA"
Could Win - Kodi Smit-McPhee "The Power of the Dog"
Should Win - Kotsur
Commentary - Kotsur has swept the major precursors, and is the heart and soul of CODA, which is now a major Best Picture contender. He wins in a walk. 

Best Supporting Actress
Will Win - Ariana DeBose "West Side Story"
Could Win - Aunjanue Ellis "King Richard" or Kirsten Dunst "The Power of the Dog"
Should Win - DeBose or Ellis
Commentary - Ariana DeBose has now swept all the big awards, is playing a character that won her co-star an Oscar, and she breathes new life into an iconic role. Again, like Kotsur, she wins in a walk.

The Oscar Narrative: Final Predictions - Best Picture and Best Director

Best Picture
Will Win - CODA
Should Win - Drive My Car or Dune
Could Win - The Power of the Dog
Commentary - If I were a voting member, the haunting Drive My Car and the epic Dune would top my ballot. But alas, this feels like a battle between the Goliath of The Power of the Dog and the David of CODA. When I finally set down and watched The Power of the Dog, I immediately wondered about its chances on the preferential ballot. But then it won the DGA, got 12 nominations, and it truly felt like a front runner. My initial suspicions were correct as CODA, the feel good favorite that makes you stand up and cheer, won the SAG and the PGA. The Power of the Dog is clearly a film with a lot of detractors, which hurts it in this voting system, and it is hard to root against the power of CODA's message. I think it wins in an upset that turns out might not be as surprising as we thought. 

Best Director
Will Win - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"
Should Win - Jane Campion "The Power of the Dog"
Could Win - Kenneth Branagh "Belfast"
Commentary - Jane Campion is winning this in a lock. She has won every major award, and her work in The Power of the Dog is worthy.
