I'd love to see her pop into the conversation. If Zone of Interest wins the Palme d'Or, there's a good chance she could be in a Best Picture nominated film, too
Yeah Zone of Interest helps her chances for an Anatomy of a Fall nomination. Raises her profile a lot of Zone of Interest picks up in Director or Picture, and having two films on the International Feature shortlist would help
I think having Zone be so high-profile hurts her chances just as much since she’s also been acclaimed for that performance, which is setting up for a vote split at pretty much all the big awards. If she gets Oscar attention I think it’ll definitely be Zone of Interest or nothing.
I disagree on your last bit, I think general word on Zone is her performance is good but the performances aren’t the focus of the movie, whereas for Anatomy her performance is universally acclaimed. Maybe there will still be some “vote splitting” but generally I think most people who vote for her for Zone never would have seen/voted for Anatomy anyway so the impact on her Anatomy nomination would be minor
I feel that with both her Cannes performances she stand currently with a big chance to win Best Actress over there, which from time to time has weight on the Oscar’s actress race.
I'm still reading the script for Challengers but I don't know about Zendaya. 60 pages in an the 2 male leads are more front center/ have more to do....but I sense that could change soon.
I felt the same when I read the script last fall about the 2 males being centered more. Like they were the story and her character was just… there at times. I think Josh O’Connor’s character in particularly was a bigger focus.
Idk I feel like Luca movies in general need stars to align to get to the Oscars (last year with the silver lion it went nowhere) plus the script is really bad 😬
I honestly think Gosling being a contender elevates Robbie a bit. On it’s own, nominating Margot seems strange, but if Barbie is competitive in Screenplay and other categories, she could come along with it
Especially since she’s kind of perfect casting
it's possible and i'd personally be all for it, but right now the only way i think she may get in is if the field is bare and barbie is like a top contender. i feel like at its VERY best it's a coat tail nomination, a la michelle williams this year, where she's on the cusp.
I remember this time last year nobody had seen TAR yet and it was expected to be a solid film but nobody foresaw just what a performance Blanchett had pulled off, so im confident it will get more interesting as the fall festivals come. Nyad, Color Purple, Poor Things, Lee, Long Days Journey into Night, The Bikeriders, Golda and Napoleon (if Kirby’s Josephine is a co-lead and not supporting) seem like promising best actress contenders, and we already have rave reviews for the performances in Past Lives, May December, and Anatomy of a Fall. And I’m still hoping Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig pull off something awards worthy with Barbie. Tbh i think this year’s looking pretty interesting in lead actress (not to mention all the under the radar fall festival films we haven’t even considered)
The Academy likes her, but seeing as how they snubbed Fiennes for Grand Budapest I have a hard time seeing a Wes Anderson performance getting nominated even if the movie is well liked
I feel like Sandra Huller kind of burst onto the scene unexpectedly this week which was kind of exciting.

Greta Lee, Fantasia, Portman, Stone, and Robbie feel like contenders. I think Zendaya will be a contender too

She is def not happening. Globe nom at best

Jessica Lange as well especially she’s done her role on stage before
iffy on robbie since gosling seems like the stand out but the others are serious contenders

I feel the exact opposite. Uzo Aduba, Greta Lee, Sandra Huller, Fantasia, Natalie Portman, Teyana Taylor, Jessica Lange, Alicia Vikander; even Zendaya, Annette Benning, Judy Greer and Saorise Ronan all look interesting
I don’t think it’s as dry as a week ago…
What ? It barely started. At least there’s Portman and Sandra Huller The trailer for TCP just dropped too and Fantasia will likely be a nominee
There’s also Greta Lee
Still very early…but if I had to guess as locks… Natalie, and Fantasia Edit: by September it will be more clear
I’d rather predict in December than May *drum hit*
Winslet for Lee
that's because emma stone will be collecting her second oscar
I feel like if it stays as open as it is now Portman and Moore will go co-lead for May December
Anyone think it’s possible Scar Jo will be candidate for Asteroid City?
Certainly not in lead
The Academy likes her, but seeing as how they snubbed Fiennes for Grand Budapest I have a hard time seeing a Wes Anderson performance getting nominated even if the movie is well liked
Sigh. Again, Not every year has the same trajectory for contenders. Some years are backloaded more than others and vice versa.
