...And the winner should be?
The only certainty when it comes to this year’s lead actress Oscar race is that there is no certainty. And there won’t be until the envelope is opened and the winner’s name is read at the ceremony on March 27.
None of the nominees appeared in a movie nominated for best picture. One, Kristen Stewart from “Spencer,” earned her film’s sole nomination. Three of the women — Olivia Colman, Penélope Cruz and Nicole Kidman — already have an Oscar, though that was not an impediment last year when Frances McDormand won her third lead actress trophy for “Nomadland.”
Voters and awards consultants call me nearly every day making an argument for their favorite nominee . Could any one of the five women nominated for lead actress win? Judging from these conversations, yes. But this is Hollywood, a place where imagination is often divorced from reality. Let’s take a look and see.
? It’s a line that launched a thousand think pieces about the film, but it’s also delightfully funny, a neat trick that Colman has effortlessly pulled off in many of her best roles.voters like their acting winners to show every bit of sweat and strain and suffering, so Colman’s work here might be a bit too cool in this field. She won an Oscar fairly recently and an Emmy just last year. Some might think that’s enough and want to give someone else a moment.
