Who do we think will win? We think it'll be Frances McDormand. Add in Carey Mulligan, and this field is as strong as it's ever been. Lest we forget the impervious Frances McDormand too, who is the likely frontrunner for this award, while Andra Day has snuck onto our list after her Golden Globes triumph. Viola Davis’ commanding portrayal as Ma Rainey was a joy to behold, while Vanessa Kirby’s committed performance to a tough role in Netflix's Pieces of a Woman should make her a strong contender. Again, like our Best Actor predictions we got this quintet spot on. With so many stellar female performances this year, it’s been difficult to whittle this list down.
Andra Day (The United States vs Billie Holiday). It would have been great to see Da 5 Bloods' Delroy Lindo at least get a nomination in this category but, like the Golden Globes, he misses out here too. Who do we want to win? Steven Yeun has come a long way from his Walking Dead days and has picked some excellent roles over the past few years, so it would be wonderful to see him take the gong home if Boseman is overlooked. Boseman's posthumous Golden Globes victory makes this more likely too. As electric as the other four nominees are in their respective movies, the late actor seems like a shoo-in for this award. Who do we think will win? Chadwick Boseman. Boseman’s posthumous nomination is deserved for his heart wrenching turn as Levee Green in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, but Ahmed’s scintillating performance as a drummer who loses his hearing and Yeun’s acclaimed intimate-yet-powerful showing will run him close for this award. We were expecting another diverse list and, thankfully, we got every Oscar nominee correct in this category. Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom).
