Blunt Force
To be fair. Rylance puts in one hell of a memorable performance in 'Bones & All' you can't forget him. Much as he did in 'Dont look up'. They could do a lot worse if they threw him a bone (sorry) for this. Although someone like Chalamet has the more 'traditionally' Meaty/Baity role and supporting performance.
I just think with 'Dont look up' it was a top what, 7 BP nominee, so Rylance had more chance. 'Bones and all' will be lucky to get a random tech nomination or at most screenplay so Rylance would have to be a real passion pick to get in.
More likely they will go with all 5 from supporting player roles in a top 5 films.
Genre films like 'Bones and All' or 'The Menu' just will not get seen enough i fear.
Supporting Legend Mara since 2009
Supporting King Chalamét since 2017
Supporting Queen Russell since 2019
Rylance was godawful un DLU.He was never happening.
Mark Rylance is a great actor who happened to give one of the worst performances of the last 10 years in Don't Look Up

Kind of crazy how Spielberg turned Ke Huy Quan into a star and here he is nearly 40 years later making a comeback few if any could have foresaw and he might be competing against one or two other Spielberg-directed performances. Judd Hirsch's career has ebbed and flowed over the decades, but his arguable peak was the period right before Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when Ordinary People came out and he was on Taxi (an Oscar nod and two Emmys). Gleeson has appeared in Spielberg film A.I.
I hope one of those three wins. Seems like Gleeson might have the leg up at BAFTA.

Hanks couldn't get in for many of his movies lately. From Captain Phillips to Bridge of Spies to Sully to The Post etc. Some of these were even BP nominees. He got lucky with A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, because he was a clear MVP with some nostalgia on his side, but it doesn't mean he's getting a filler mention for a performance with zero passion, especially as the movie completely belongs to Butler, no one talks about Hanks, other than criticizing his accent, in general.

Oscars-wise, Rylance is the new Jim Broadbent: He's just never coming back.
