r/Oscars

1. Who do you think will win first?
2. Who do you want to win first?
3. Who gave the best performance in all of their combined nominations?
4. Who had the worst previous loss? (as in who they lost to had a weaker performance than theirs)

Which of Scarlett Johansson's two nominations was your favorite? Did you think she should've won for one or both of these performances?

Jesse Buckley is 36 and will probably continue to do great strong work the rest of her career. Byrne is 46 , but seems to have a good eye for picking projects. Was this Rose’s only chance?

I remember when they made her do the bridesmaids sketch I understood immediately. The academy was saying here’s your chance on the stage.

It’s sort of feels like she’ll always be the bridesmaid, but never the bride . I would like to think she has a chance.

Buckley is going to be working with several Zhao like directors coming up . She’s capable of almost anything.

Previous Post: Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) & Paul Giamatti (Sideways) win for Best Actress and Actor. Who should have won Best Supporting Actress & Actor in 2004?

Comment with the most upvotes wins.

You can pick any performance, does not have to be from the nominees.

Comment separately for Actress and Actor, don’t combine them.

I just rewatched the amazing Wild Rose again. I'm struggling to understand why the song Glasgow (No Place Like Home) was not nominated or picked up the Oscar in 2019... also Jessie was incredible..
