The fifth slot, though, is a bit of a mystery. and Chadwick Boseman, with the latter likely to win in the lead-actor category for a different role, are favored to land nominations for their work as well. His toughest competition will come from fellow Golden Globe winner Sacha Baron Cohen-but, at this point, the race doesn’t seem all that close. The clear front-runner in this category is Daniel Kaluuya, the odds-on favorite to win the whole thing come Oscar night for his incendiary performance in Judas and the Black Messiah.

Paul Raci, Sound of Metal Daniel Kaluuya, Judas and the Black Messiah Sacha Baron Cohen, The Trial of the Chicago 7 Leslie Odom Jr., One Night in Miami… Chadwick Boseman, Da 5 Bloods Given the shared fate of critical favorites Jennifer Lopez, Zhao Shuzhen, and Tiffany Haddish in this category in recent years, it feels prudent to bet on at least one heartbreaking snub, though we’d love to be proven wrong. Our wild card bet is that Maria Bakalova, the breakout star of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, will be a shocking omission.

The lineup we’re predicting includes all three of those actors, plus Yuh-Jung Youn of the surging Minari and recent Oscar winner Olivia Colman (who, yes, famously beat Close last time). And with the person perceived as her other main threat, Amanda Seyfried, not even nominated for a SAG Award, the field was split wide open.
Then Jodie Foster won at the Globes instead.

While Davis only provided vocals for one song in her film, Day-who is fresh off her Golden Globe win-belted out each and every Holiday song in hers. Academy voters traditionally give extra credit to actors who (1) play real-life characters, (2) sing while slaying, and (3) star in poignant projects featuring timely issues-and both Viola Davis and Andra Day do all that, summoning, respectively, the early blues singer and the iconic, ill-fated jazz singer. Vanessa Kirby has been campaigning hard for Pieces of a Woman, which opens with a mind-blowing sequence-in which the actor portrays the heart-wrenching roller coaster of a tragic at-home birth. In Promising Young Woman, Carey Mulligan plays an unapologetic avenger of toxic men in pastels, while Frances McDormand channels a wistful wanderer in Nomadland. The best-actress category is packed with strong performances, each of which would make a worthy Oscar winner. Billie Holiday Vanessa Kirby, Pieces of a Woman Frances McDormand, Nomadland Carey Mulligan, Promising Young Woman Viola Davis, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Andra Day, The United States vs. The bright side is that pretty much no matter who makes it in, this year’s director lineup will make history for both racial diversity and gender balance. Though the Directors Guild went for Fincher, we’re swapping him from that list for Lee, who has been on a late press push recently for Da 5 Bloods and has been building momentum since his screenplay win for BlacKkKlansman to maybe finally win a best-director statue.
Beyond her, there’s an interesting split between exciting up-and-comers like Lee Isaac Chung and Emerald Fennell and a crop of respected veterans whose films aren’t nearly as much at the center of current conversation- Spike Lee, David Fincher, and Aaron Sorkin. The DGA nominations provided plenty of insight into where this race is headed-and given the way Nomadland has been sweeping up awards lately, it’s hard to deny that Chloé Zhao is at the top of the pack.
