- A once in a generation cliffhanger for Best Actress. I’ve been covering the Oscars for over 20 years and even if there have been surprises over the years there has never been such an unpredictable Best Actress category. This goes all the way back to Bette Davis for All About Eve vs. Gloria Swanson for Sunset Boulevard losing to Judy Holliday for Born Yesterday. Usually one actress dominates the awards but not this year. This year there are many factors at play that make it unpredictable – like the desire for there to finally be another black actress to win — Halle Berry being the only one in 93 years.Golden Globes — Frances McDormand, Viola Davis, Carey Mulligan all nominated. They lost to Andra Day.SAG Awards – Andra Day not nominated, Viola Davis beats both Frances McDormand and Carey Mulligan.
BAFA Awards – Andra Day, Viola Davis and Carey Mulligan NOT nominated, Frances McDormand wins.
Throwing things off is Carey Mulligan winning the Critics Choice and Spirit Awards, not typically necessary precursors. Since SAG began there has never been an Oscar winner in Best Actress who didn’t win either the SAG or the Globe. Let’s quickly look at which group claims the highest record for wins.
Clearly, the Globe has a much better track record when it comes to predicting the winner in this category, minus the weird year with Kate Winslet, which kind of doesn’t count.
So this is as much of a cliffhanger as you’re ever going to see at the Oscars. I would tune in just for that, seriously. - To see what the Oscar Night producers are going to do in this challenging time. It is slightly unpredictable and mysterious and will be a once-in-a-lifetime thing so for history’s sake, tune in.
- Speaking of history, it will be made in all sorts of ways tomorrow night, from the first woman of color winning in Best Director to potentially two women winning in screenplay. Maybe this doesn’t interest you but it will go into the history books.
- You can hate-watch and go on Twitter. You know you want to. You know you need to.
- What the hell else you got to do? You got some sporting event to attend? A street fair? An actual movie? Mall shopping? Binge-watching another cooking show?
Really, though, you want to at least tune in to see who will win Best Actress because right now, no one knows. NO ONE KNOWS. And that, my friends, is a first.
I am sticking with the Golden Globe winner, even though that prediction will probably be wrong.
Right now, Oscar Twitter is tearing itself apart on the fight for Best Actress, with most camps dividing into the Carey Mulligan camp and the Viola Davis camp. It is getting vicious too. It’s a complete throw down. I imagine whomever wins there will be tears.
Seriously, the main reason you should watch is if we don’t then the Oscars will have terrible ratings. Nobody wants that. We like the Oscars. We want them to be around for long time. They might not be perfect, and they might be especially not perfect this year, but they’re part of our American history – there isn’t another ceremony like them in all of the world. That is something to cherish and preserve.
Let the good times roll.
I hope Frances deserved it (really). I don’t like voting for fav’s. My feeling was for Mulligan and she’s probably dragging right now but at least she doesn’t have to feel ripped off. Which is how I think she would have been had Viola won.
I think there’s a very reasonable chance that a lot of people “noped” out of the Davis/Mulligan fight and went with McDormand, giving her just enough to win
Have to think this is how it went down

I’m just excited to watch Schitt’s Creek sweep everything in a write-in St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
I’m kind of hoping Carey loses so I can witness people here crying and wailing about the global injustice of a performance allegedly as amazing as the second coming of Jesus Christ failing to win an Oscar and spelling the doom of the Oscars forever and ever more.
I haven’t seen Day’s performance and Carey is my fave of the 4 I’ve seen but I would hardly be sad if she loses… the rest are all amazing and deserving to win as well. It’s insane when someone gets mad because this or that lost, without actually aprecciating who won. Oscar is a popularity contest, and marketing and money play even more than actual quality… it’s assumed that whoever reaches this final is somewhat deserving, after so many hurdles. For example, I hated Minari, but would celebrate it, if Youn, the Score and Yeun won. I don’t think Chung, the Screenplay or the film deserves it, but I can’t really be mad, because I see what other people see in it (I see it as well, but from a completely different perspective). As much as I think Bakalova should win, I can’t be angry that Youn, Colman, Close or Seyfried took home the award, they are all fantastic, and I will be way sadder because a golden chance to reward a fearless comedic performance has passed in favor or something more conventional, but nothing else.
Sorry to inform you in advance that there will be no crying and wailing.
Maybe you should dial down your apocalyptic expectations just a bit?
Crying and wailing? No.
Drinking copious amounts of alcohol in our pajamas with our cats? Yes.

I’m not gonna watch cause I stopped years ago and am happy to see that ratings are going down and relevance is in shambles. And since I expect this:
Should win:Mulligan
Will win: Davis
that’s a big fatsuit NO to Oscars from me.
Do you miss those old John Wayne movies too?
Unlike you I’m not that old. 🙂
Isn’t Gutfeld hilarious???
Didn’t watch the ceremony so no clue. Here’s check winners and I’m pretty damn satisfied.
According to this SAG/Globe stat, the winner is Davis or Day and I wouldn’t mind either. Even though it’s a smaller role, I would go with Davis who gave a titanic, appropriately angry performance for this role, but Day was sensational in a mish mash of a movie. My actual choice is Kirby, but that is the only one in this bunch that has little to no chance of winning. My least favorite is Mulligan, but even she was excellent as usual. I remember a few decades ago when they had to dig up 5 worthy nominees in this category as films were so male oriented, but those days are thankfully over.
when isn’t a Davis performance titanically angry? that’s her career shtick. Nothing new to see here.
It has been such a crazy year. It’s taking me three months to watch all the nominees for all the groups and I am so exhausted from it but there were a lot of great movies. I finally finished on Friday night. My last film was Soul and wow that was great but I still like Wolfwalkers a little more
I’m really really proud of the spirit award winners but the show really stunk!
But I guess there’s only so much they can do during Covid times
I’m really excited about tonight and yeah I’ve never seen a best actress race like this before. I really feel that whoever wins I’ll be happy because all the performances were so great but I’m secretly rooting for Day and Mulligan. I was just completely blown away by their performances and neither of them have ever won so I just feel that they deserve it the most. But I absolutely loved Francis McDormand and viola Davis’s performances wow wow wow. And Vanessa Kirby was brilliant too I’ve seen her do such amazing work in so many different roles I just know that she’ll eventually win someday. Heck maybe she’ll win tonight!
It’s been a crazy year but I’m grateful that there’s been so many great movies that have helped me be distracted from all the terrible things going on.
Thank you Crimp camp, Quo Vadis Aida?, Promising Young Woman, Ma Rainey, 40 year old version, Dick Johnson, The mole agent, The White Tiger, Rocks, Judas, Mank, Borat, My octopus, Burrow, Two Distant Strangers, Feeling Through, If anything happens I love you, a concerto, Tenet, a love song, for all the scores this year they were all so brilliant, for the cinematography in Mank, for two scenes in Soul that were so brilliant I’ll never forget them, for Daniel Kaluuya a performance for the ages..
I just love movies so much! Thanks to the whole AD team! And to all of you who share your words here.
I’m going for Carey Mulligan
I’m feeling so sure about Viola, I’ll be surprised if someone else wins, especially if it will be Mulligan. Which is my favorite, btw.
I think that in order to make the changes that need to be made, you gotta hit rock bottom and then climb back up.
Mainstream blockbusters that are embraced by critics and moviegoers alike must be invited back to the best picture table and have an equal chance to win as the The Artists, Nomadlands and, grr, Parasites do with relentless frequency. Not just put them there for show. And if it takes an all-time low audience to get the Academy to wake the fork up, then that’s what it’ll take.
This year was never going to be about mainstream blockbusters, mainly because every single one that could have had a shot at Oscar glory, was pushed to next year. This list includes Dune, No Time To Die, West Side Story, In the Heights, Eternals. This didn’t mean that the Oscar lineup was going to be weak, it only meant that smaller films that usually get lost in the sea of high-profile studio campaigns, were going to have a better shot at standing out. Not a bad thing at all.
Having said that, I am not sure I agree with your argument that the Academy went full niche in recent years, sure, gone are the days of the 90s and early 00s when every BP winner was all but guaranteed 100M in the US alone, but the truth remains that even in the last 10 years the average worldwide Box Office total of a BP winner was $202M. So while not huge, mainstream blockbuster level for sure, still a respectable average strongly suggesting that there is still a global audience for the BP winner every year. Even if it dares not to be some big budget studio fare.
P.S.
2019 – 259M (Parasite)
2018 – 322M (Green Book)
2017 – 195M (The Shape of Water)
2016 – 65M (Moonlight)
2015 – 99M (Spotlight)
2014 – 103M (Birdman)
2013 – 188M (12 Years a Slave)
2012 – 232M (Argo)
2011 – 133M (The Artist)
2010 – 427M (The King’s Speech)
those are worldwide numbers. Real blockbusters make many of these numbers in their domestic opening weekend. Heck, Endgame’s OW was bigger than Green Book’s total and its opening day alone bigger than 4 grosses on this list.
Point is, you couldn’t post only domestic numbers to drive the point that they are not niche cause some absolutely are. Anything that made well under 100M dom (save Parasite cause different rules apply to subtitled foreign movies) is niche.
I wouldn’t want to post only domestic numbers because that would be only half the relevant data. Or what, if you didn’t buy your ticket in the US, you don’t count ? The Oscars is an international affair. Always has been.
Yes but when they look at the boxoffice they mostly take domestic one into consideration. And those numbers don’t even approach real blockbusters.
Fleabag. Parasite.
Talk about stuck buttons. R U A Bot?
Mainstream blockbusters were crap this year. Get over it. I’d rather all time low ratings than awarding crap just for the sake of bloody ratings.
Sascha you are right about how close the 1950 actress race was but how about 1962 when you had Anne Bancroft winning for The Miracle Worker and beating Bette Davis for Baby Jane , Geraldine Page for Sweet Bird of Youth , Lee Remick for Days of Wine and Roses and last but not least Kathrine Hepburn for Long Days Journey Into Night !
I live in a time zone where they start and 3 A.M. and I have to wake to work (on a movie) at 8 o’ clock!!
But this is one of my favourite year. I loved every BP nominee except Trial, there’s a thrilling suspense in Best actress…
Maybe I’ll see only the second part of the show 🙁
“NO ONE KNOWS”.
but I do know. it’s Viola Davis, I’ve been saying it since I first saw the preview.
if Ma Rainey would be nominated for Picture, I would agree. However, it’s shaping up to win 2-3 Oscars already, before getting to Actress, and for a performance from a PoC that is built on a real life singer and with even more baity scenes, they can easily go for Day’s performance. Davis and Day are competing with two similar appealling roles, and that’s always a problem. When you put the 5 performances alligned the other 3 stand out as way more different roles, while Davis and Day are basically 2 singers fighting the stablishment and racism. And Davis doesn’t do her own singing.
That’s why, while I think Davis might be #2 for the win, it is ultimately Mulligan – who is clear focus of a Best Picture winning contender and with the whole #MeToo zeitgeist backing it – who is in the pole position for tonight. But again, it is a really tight race. Had Day been snubbed, probably Davis would easily win tonight, though.
Given that 3 PoC are frontrunners – almost locked – winners in the other categories, the question remains, if the AMPAS members – generally – are going to be conscious that they could be making history by awarding all 4 acting awards to non-white actors and therefore Day and Davis may be having a bonus in appeal for voters. We’ll find tonight, but at this point I think the actual race has this order – but any of them can win it.
1. Mulligan
2. Davis
3. Day
4. McDormand
5. Kirby
… still, I have the gut feeling that the birth scene in Pieces of a Woman is an unbeatable moment of acting, Oscar wise… but then I remember that Yalitza Aparicio also had a similar scene in Roma and lost… and she was a non-pro.
“are going to be conscious that they could be making history”
Since firsts and history are more important than awarding what’s good, they shouldn’t cry about low ratings. They’ll get their minor history this minor history that headlines and that should satisfy. Wondering where audience went would be just ridiculous.
Vanessa Kirby bookending the season by winning the first (Volpi Cup) and last (Oscar) big award would be almost fitting, not to mention it was a proper tour de force turn so buzz and precursors or not, she would be also a worthy winner on merit alone.
Having said that, the category is great this year and a strong case could be made for everyone. My personal favourite is Carey Mulligan who headlined what is arguably an instant cult classic and the most memorable film of 2020 but at the same time I admire Viola Davis, too, an acting god at the top of her game and there is also Andra Day who was a magnetic, mesmerising revelation even if her film as a whole was never as great as her performance was (not her fault, she did her part).
I have to say though, as much as I love Frances McDormand and probably wouldn’t be too irked if she won her third tonight, for me at least she is in fifth place this season. Nomadland was a great accomplishment and she delivered strong work both as an actress and a producer, but I would expect a bit more range from three-time Oscar winning actors because the truth is, while the characters are clearly different in many important ways, at the end of the day she always gets awards and nominations for the exact same type of role, only different variations of it : resilient, small-town, working class, no-nonsense American woman (Mississippi Burning, Fargo, Almost Famous, North Country, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Nomadland). She played all these roles skilfully and beautifully and all the acclaim she received for them was most definitely warranted but with 2 lead Oscars under her belt and up against 4 deserving actresses who have none, I simply believe it would make more sense to embrace someone else this time. If I considered the performance absolutely undeniable, I would have no problem with her winning third, problem is that while I think she is great and was great in the role, there are others in her category who, to me, were simply better. My two cents.
Insightful take on McDormand’s range, yet at the same time I also agree that her work in Nomadland is undeniably fine (she’s good in every scene and she’s in every scene, which is no mean feat). A very useful observation, Phantom. It makes one look forward even more to The Tragedy of Macbeth.
Range shmange. For me, the most important thing to watch an actor in a film is how believable they are as that character. And Frances was completely believable. She brings herself into the role and you never feel that she’s acting. McDormand is in that acting class as a Katharine Hepburn. I respect that over the likes of Meryl Streep who always give deliberately interesting performances that are just always distracting to me.
no article on Razzies?
I’m really stuck with this one! Aren’t we all really… I agree with Sasha about Day having the edge with this kind of performance/GG win. When I watched the film I was like – oh, that’s an Oscar winning showcase! Though, I still think Davis wins. AND my favourite performance out of the five is Mulligan.
My gut =Day. My head = Davis. My heart = Mulligan. I’m going to have to watch Ma Rainey again tonight.
Then, as I am selecting my Gold Derby picks, I have this strong gut feeling The Father (my favourite of the 8 BP noms) might pull through with a few deserving wins: Hopkins, Adapated Screenplay and Editing (I wish Colman for Supporting Actress too). I’d be tempted to say BP as well if I didn’t believe Nomadland was such a lock. I’ve got The Father in 2nd place ahead of Trial, PYW and Minari though. Adapted Screenplay is the most likely, so, I’m predicting this one for sure.
I feel like I’m playing very safe which served me well last year. I have Trial on Zero Wins. It’s a tough race!
zero chance Viola doesn’t win this.
Davis loses to Day on every bait aspect but the number of nominations for the film, and that it was way better reviewed… it’s a really close race…
1) Day portrays a more recognisable celebrity and – if I am correct – does her own singing.
2) More Oscar baity storyline
3) The ingenue factor
4) Davis won not so long ago for ANOTHER stage play adaptation.
So I think there’s real vote syphooning/split between them. That’s why Mulligan is #1 for me, as likely winner.
YeS! The ‘ split ‘ btw Day and Davis is Mulligans best hope hope…it one thing that eludes the oscars lately… i quote ‘ the architect ‘ in ,’ the matrix’ but how on earth can anyone fuvking remember his gobbledygook lines? Hope has evaded yhe academy let NOT kid ourselves this is ALL about oscars self validation NOT bout advancing or evolving the oscars at the level we know they shouild it frankly APPALLING the fact the ‘ split’ is Mulligans best hope according to some, oy reinforces the fact exyent awards seasom and AMPAS and the guilds have all but demonstrated to us how totally ignorant they are in another way ..not by race or culture but what i call the new form of fuked up ignorance… not knowing not valuing or aporeciating the specific TYPE of performance Mulligan has accomplished here.. as ‘ the architect ‘ mocks : ” hope” ..HOPE for oscar to get one mwjor category right ??? Bllllaaah!!!
At 36, Day is a bit beyond the Ingenue categorization.
If there’s vote siphoning/splitting going on, then McDormand wins over the two African American actresses playing legendary singers and the two British actresses playing blonde Americans.

You had me at ‘cliffhanger’. This will be a tense and exciting Oscars. So much anticipation. But there’s so much to celebrate. There’s 8 amazing movies up for BP and another 8 plus, not in that category but also competing in other categories. AND there’s been a pile of movies not nominated at all that have added to this lifeline of a year movie wise. Not sure where we will be in a years time but we can worry about that then. Happy Oscars to one and all! 🙂
Sasha…IF and it still big IF Mulligan loses best actress then i sorry to say it proof positive Oscar are beholden to their legacy of snubs…countless opportunities past for Oscar to get their head out of their asses and embrace a black actress in best actress category..and it hence purely cos of their own making that they and the foolish equally negligent globes and guilds is the ONLY REASON Mulligan will lose..it will go to show and there WILL be backlash and deserves to be amongst us and pressure will come HARD on oscar when dust has settled after the undeserved blowover in best actress…question marks will emerge over whether or not the ACADEMY and the SAG have the capacity to give best actress on merit on the role which is most complex, demanding and perplexing and equally compelling that is Mulligans..the only reason she lose ? is the internat self inflicted unecessary discrimination – OSCAR have inflicted entirely and awards season on themselves..
Honestly..the Guilds are on a knife edge here…think about it..playing catch up on the aggressive rampant demands of blind sighted activism ofr oscar to use as self validation to say: ‘yes’ this is the year (of numerous years prior by landmark performances by black actresses that been nominated for oscar- bullshit it has to be this year of all years bullshit!) – so to Mulligan’s deteriment..she up against NOT actresses that done more accomplished and challenging character performances than her generational once in awards history defining powerful provocative truthful portrayal of a woman wronged by loss of her best friend to unreported sex crime- once again a common scourge on society that oscar and the guilds have damn well batted a blind eye on for too long! Where was nominations deservedly for ‘the girl with the dragon tatoo’, ‘the girl on the train’, ‘the girl in the spiders web’? at LEAST surely given those roles were closest thing to accurate- albeit in fiction or arguably semi fiction universe…did ANY of those outstanding landmark actress performances that depicted, delved and showed deep into the psyche and trauma and inner resilience under extreme at times brutal duress..did ANY of these performances get ANY OSCAR RECOGNITION? NO! MULLIGAN LOSS IS AT HANDS OF OSCARS SELFISH, PASSED MISSED OPPORTUNITIES/ INTER SOCIO- DIVERSE IDEOLOGY TIMING COULD NOT BE MORE DISGRACEFUL just think how manyt MORE from next year onwards in justified times of diversity- long overdue i may add rightfully that black actresses could well be should be deserved favourite in future year? or a asian- american actress? but this year? NOPE merit not ideology should take precedent i tell you now..we will VERY VERY UNLIKELY ever get as provocative a persuasive and simply unforgettable landmark performance on behalf of those women past and present who been wronged in eyes of justice temptation take matters in their own hands..and Mulligan career defining cinematic performance deserves to be her oscar winning performance full stop no LESS
Sasha you are actually respectfully- of course being and showing considerable inconsistency in where you stand here– on one hand you decry rightfully the overkill excess brutal activism that lead to this overall undermined group of selected oscar contenders out of the top 25 shortlist from initial top 100 at pre- awards season…period…and then on the other you scream ‘history’ by doing that you are potentially opening your self up to ridicule by the very social media provocateurs who rubbed you up the wrong way.. be careful..for your own sake..to ensure social media militia do not get to you…you want to MINIMIZE that dont you? soo..my suggestion? you need to better conextualize the debate on diversity..it ‘history made OVERDUE at questionable timing when oscar had numerous prior opportunities to nominate in PRIOR awards season for oscars self validation..; NOT something that we should celebrate and hence is NOT signifant to us..since when did common sense may i ask namely celebrating diversity get put off, on backburner in the trash can..wby oscar and the guilds…be something we should all celebrate? it should have happened in terms of awards recognition at LEAST 25 years ago!! for crying out loud you know? just some feedback on a paradox i seen in clear to see conflicting positioning. so let spell it out to new members here shall we?
1. a win for Viola Davis? is well..ONLY justified in context of the guilds and academy’s avoidable snubs of last 25 years no more, no less!
2. A loss for Mulligan is a missed opportunity that no guarantee will we come across that at yardstick benchmark that Mulligan has set for manner in which she depicts and agrieved woman for loss her best friend to a sex crime..on behalf of those women who have lost close friend or they themselves been victim to unreported sex crime..trust me..it be barometer rightfully future performances of similar nature will be measured..and this be HUGE YET again defeat of common sense on principle of merit for a landmark stand out multi generational defining performance – and oscar will inevitably be left to justify this ludicrous i owe you fusion with supposed urgency for ‘now’ as opposed to next year and years to follow hey oscar and guilds you fuked up for 25 years what harm is one more year gonna do ey? THERE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY BE IN COMING YEARS EVEN MORE MEMORABLE PERFORMANCES TO BE NOMINATED BY VIOLA DAVIS AND OTHER BLACK NOMINEES than there will be of calibre of type of film and type of performance as Mulligans in Promising Young Woman.
NO SASHA sorry i vehemently alot of us feel deeplky concerned that merit is sacrificed this year as is case in too many far too many years of oscar outcomes esp in last 13 years overall… for oscars self- validation and avoidable unacceptable snubs for numerous decades and it increasingly apparent the guilds are sleeping with the race card when the7 should be reverting to merit..this will diminish they meaning to us in time soon..trouble on the horizon for guilds and oscar..watch this space..
IF YOU WERE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU!!!
#JUSTICEFORMULLIGAN
I think you are going a bit overboard about Carey Mulligan’s Performance . If she was that good she would have swept the boards , which sometimes happens in the acting categories and the history of the Oscars are full of examples of terrific performances losing to people who should not have won . As for the movie itself her performance was very good but i found the film to be manipulative , nihilistic and predictable with an incredibly stupid ending ! When all is said and done it’s just a movie not the second coming of Christ .
Oh! by the way if I were voting my vote would go to Andra Day .
By saying that you at risk of precariously implying that her performance does NOT typify what women specifically numerous hundreds in each country sadly go thriugh when sex crimes commited against them or their best friend go unreported no it more profound than religious ideals in a different way…called dark side of reality … but fact you compare mulligans performance to something i nowhere near not implying …respectfully highlights your cluelessness about truth what goes on in psych on women who victim or known someone who victim of a sex crime . You know what ? The REAL TRUTH as to why the FUK awards season has gone neutered inconsistent on embracing mulligans multi generational stand out pro- womens rights to be safe live normal life free of trauma advocacy ? Is think about it before foolishly using yhe ‘ hasnt won all before it ‘ argument ..simply ? What the bet the critics groups , the guilds are bout as ignorant completely lacking in understsnding of true magnitude of implications of sex crime hardly anybody..not all least of all you frqnkly have a bloody clue…and if as i fearful as lot of us are Mulligan loses i emphasize the point i made before: hsving black actress wim THIS year rather than next year or year after is far more likely rightfully long overdue be done much more in future years in contrast to specific commanding power and persuasion of mulligans performance.
Yes , the Globe has had the winner 18 straight years. If I had two cracks at choosing Best Actress I’d be pretty damn impressive myself. Scarlett agrees.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0999dcfe3d660da24344055c6436b2b9e6195d03ff0a179d859ee418653f17d9.gif
the globes have put themselves in this misguided position by taking far too long to embrace diversity they chose to put it off..and makes them in lot our eyes as irrelevant as guilds and academy are to most of us increasingly…the globes dont deserve the prestige for awards season they gone far too much in this same timeframe you state for arguably more often than not the lesser deserving actresses and actors competing suffice to say if they want us take them seriously – (which increasingly we dont) they may want to expand their minimalist thimble full of motion picture nominees and other nominees per category- frankly they like a cat amongst the pigeons or maybe they the pigeons that dont have the guts to take it to the cat..as in..they shied away from embracing diversity when they should have decades ago..pathetic useless just like oscar and hguilds are beocming
Uh, I simple “Chase, I agree with you,” would’ve sufficed.
That was the shortest post he’s ever written.
