2021 OSCARS PREDICTIONS:
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

UPDATED: Mar. 4, 2021

AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY: The win for Jodie Foster at the Golden Globes for “The Mauritanian” was just the boost she needed at this moment, likely getting many more voters to watch the film before voting. With her moving up, there’s some movements as Maria Bakalova may not be the sure thing we thought for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” even with the film winning best picture (comedy). Her loss to Rosamund Pike (“I Care A Lot”), who still doesn’t seem to making headway in spite of the GG, may give her a disadvantage in this last push. Helena Zengel (“News of the World”) is also holding on and I’m still not certain that the two women that have showed at Globes, SAG and Critics Choice are necessary a “certainty” for nominations (Glenn Close and Olivia Colman). This may be one of those messy years for the category but I’ll say, Yuh-Jung Youn is looking strong right about now, especially as she looks to take CC this weekend.

WATCH RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE VOTING: Dominique Fishback (“Judas and the Black Messiah”), Swankie (“Nomadland”), Jayme Lawson (“Farewell Amor”), Ariana DeBose (“The Prom”), Ellen Burstyn (“Pieces of a Woman”), Olivia Cooke (“Sound of Metal”), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (“The White Tiger”)
