Will Jodie Foster win the Oscar this year for best supporting actress?

[quote] Is she not considered a favorite to win?

No, she is not.

No one is going to beat Da'Vine Joy Randolph. She's absolutely locked for the award, probably more than any other acting contender this year, and there is no clear second place choice.

And while she might not be a big name, but she has acted before, to some acclaim. She was great in that Eddie Murphy movie from a couple years ago, Dolemite is My Name.

She doesn't have a chance but at least she got a nomination after 29 years

“Get me Jeff Gillooly on the phone”

It is nice that Foster is back in the Oscar race after so long. In the nineties, it felt like she would keep racking up nominations and maybe earn a third win (she was probably close to winning for Nell, as crazy as it seems now), so it seems right that she's back in the awards conversation.

Why is Da’Vine Joy Randolf such a lock to win? She doesn’t have a big body of work.

It's because she's such a huge presence on the screen, r6.

I don't see a prayer of Jodie pulling off an upset. Davine has won everything and she's probably the biggest acting lock since Helen Mirren for The Queen. It's by no means a bad performance but for the life of me I don't understand why she's sweeping. The audience doesn't really get to know her character because her story arc is so underutilized and underwritten. The Oscars will get a chance to reward The Holdovers in Best Supporting Actress because I don't think at this point it's winning Best Actor or Original Screenplay.

In my mind hers is really the only real and interesting performance in the category. Jodie despite 5 decades as an actress has actually never played a character like Bonnie. Davine is fine in just another in a long line of performances like this that have been getting Oscars for the type since Hattie McDaniel. The America chick that is now trying to hitch her wagon to all things inclusion is a silly nomination, Danielle Brooks didn't do much playing the same type as Davine and was not even as good as Oprah and don't get me started on the dour mannered trying hard to do something with nothing performance of Blunt. If people were voting on just acting performance alone Jodie is miles above these others. Pedigree also not even close.

Hmmm, winning so many awards while being so generally unknown without a body of work. What could it be?🤷🏾‍♀️

Why is Emily Blunt nominated for that shit, mannered performance ??

Love Jodie.

Stealth racist thread.

How is that R13? Please enlighten us

[quote] or Divine Joy WhatsHerName who’s never really acted before but somehow got nominated.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph has quite a resume, from Broadway to film to television. Posting she does not is sheer laziness (or trollery) on your part:

The movie definitely isn't supposed to be excellent though. not sure where you got that scoop. The Reviews are kind but not lavish and it's well understood that the nominations are largely due to Bening and foster's deep rooted and long standing industry connections

Jodie will probably place third. Emily Blunt has a minuscule chance if she’s caught in an Oppenheimer sweep, but this is probably like 1 percent, and will finish a distant second. Davine is going to win. Period.

Sure, R14. Are you the troll who wrote this?

[QUOTE] Davine is fine in just another in a long line of performances like this that have been getting Oscars for the type since Hattie McDaniel.

It’s Da’Vine, first of all. Second, “performances like this” means basically black female performances as that is literally the only thing that Da’Vine has in common with Hattie McDaniel.

Whatever idiot wrote this comment (I assume it’s the same cunt who started the whole thread) knows exactly what it’s doing. And so do you.

R18, you sound so hinged. Take your pills you paranoid gash.

I agree with r8 - I loved DJR in the Dolemite movie and thought she was perfectly fine in this movie, but this sweep totally confounds me. Her character is so underwritten. But then I think The Holdovers is lousy and super overrated, a pale imitation of a hundred better movies that came before

No one cares about the Oscars. They haven’t been relevant in decades. You might as well be talking about the BET Awards.
