Best Actor in a Supporting Role. August 2022

[Mason]

LOL, my bad, I haven't read the book either. Based on some reviews and descriptions of the book, it sounds like villain isn't the right word for him. He's an effeminate schoolteacher who's selected by the women to take minutes for their meeting because, unlike them, he can read and write.

Still sounds like he could be a possibility.

He's also a victim of the toxic masculinity pervading the colony because he’s constantly being mocked or shamed for being 'effeminate'. There's a lot of potential if Polley handles his role the right way.

Why no Quan??

Because I copied and pasted the wrong set of predictions from my document after waking up at 4AM. I can't believe I didn't realise

My actual predictions are:

1. Paul Dano (The Fabelmans)
2. Brad Pitt (Babylon)
3. Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once)
4. Zen McGrath (The Son)
5. Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin)

Amazon has amazing records in this category with

- Hedges got in for Manchester by the Sea (2016 with Roadside).
- Chalamet almost got in at the Oscar with SAG nod, BAFTA nod, GG nod & BFCA nod for Beautiful Boy (2018).
- Raci got in for Sound of Metal (2020).
- Odom Jr. got in for One Night in Miami... (2020).
- Simmons got in for Being the Ricardos (2021) with only BFCA nod.
- Affleck almost got his first nod for The Tender Bar (2021) with SAG nod & GG nod.

If they do campaign for Women Talking with MGM, that maybe increase the chance for Ben Whishaw to get in.

I feel like Tom Hanks is going to get a surprise Globe nom for Elvis and give everyone a scare.

He’s a classic GG + SAG snubee. Who would be surprised?

Key Huy Quan won't be winning this. It's just bored talk while we wait for the real contenders to arrive. He doesn't have a winning performance and frankly a silly film like this won't be winning any acting awards.

Whilst I disagree it’s a silly film I do agree I find it unlikely he will win , unless the academy goes FULL ON with The film which I just don’t see happening when we have a host of baity supporting roles in films we have yet to see coming in fall / winter

Hanks over McGrath ! Say it ain’t so , we need some young blood in this line up

I read about the McGrath's role, and that he's the one mentioned from the movie... but that is not a proof he's gonna make it in the top 5.
But I agree we need a young blood, but I don’t feel him right now.

Have been feeling the same for a while. No clue why the win talk started here, but I definitely don’t see it

I think the film could win Screenplay if it is to be awarded somewhere, and that will be it.

I think a lot of people are just having a hard time seeing an unknown 20 year old win or Brad Pitt winning a second supporting actor Oscar in four years which is fair. And its difficult for me to imagine anybody but those 3 winning atp.

I’m assuming that there will be a festival breakout or two here, but I’d have an easier time imagining Pitt winning again if not.

I could see a festival breakout or two surprising with a nom but I just don't see anybody not in the top 5 or 6 here having the potential to actually win unless we're just way off on something.

Why aren’t more people considering Paul Dano or Seth Rogen? Are the roles not good enough? I don’t think we should really write off anybody for the win at this stage. This category is never usually that clear cut.

There was a test screening. Doesn't sound like Rogen will be in contention and doesn't sound like Dano has win potential.

[Kostas]

I know people tends to find difficult to see Zen McGrath winning because he's 20 years old. But if the role is properly adapted like the play, it will a formidable contender, especially if The Son delivers. It's Timothy Hutton's "Ordinary People" on steroids on paper. And in recent years more younger actors start to be competitive in this category, even as newcomers.

Sometimes, this kind of opportunity is present on the conditions of the year.

[Nora]

The age is not the issue for me... I already put Sink in my top 5 in the sup actress category. But it could be that I admire her performance after seeing couple of them. I didn't see any work of McGrath, and his performance in The Son could prove me wrong
