Oscar Predictions: Best Actress — Jessie Buckley Leads, but There’s Room for a Surprise Snub or Two

The Best Actress Category at the Oscars is a battle for supremacy between performances in highly anticipated films. As of now, Jessie Buckley is leading the pack with her portrayal in "Hamnet", but there's still room for some surprise snubs or upsets.

Buckley has been making waves in the industry with her critically acclaimed performance, and her nomination is well-deserved. However, the competition is fierce, with other talented actresses vying for the top spot. Rose Byrne's turn as a femme fatale in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" has also caught the attention of critics, while Kate Hudson's nuanced portrayal in "Song Sung Blue" has garnered significant praise.

The BAFTA longlist has expanded the field, adding more names to the mix. Cynthia Erivo is a dark horse contender with her performance in "Wicked: For Good", while Jennifer Lawrence's dramatic turn in "Die My Love" could also secure her a spot among the nominees.

The Critics' Choice Awards have already crowned Buckley the winner of Best Actress, solidifying her momentum. However, the Golden Globes nominations will further shake up the standings. In lead actress (drama), Buckley, Lawrence, and Reinsve are nominated, while in lead actress (comedy), Byrne, Erivo, Hudson, Infiniti, Seyfried, and Stone round out the lineup.

As nominations voting approaches on January 12th, anything can happen. The Academy Awards will announce their nominees on January 22nd, with the ceremony taking place on March 15th at the Dolby Theatre.

In conclusion, while Buckley is currently leading the pack, the Best Actress category remains a fluid and unpredictable landscape. With several talented actresses vying for recognition, it's anyone's game until the nominations are announced.
 
I'm loving this time of year where all eyes are on the Oscars and we get to witness some incredible performances on screen 🤩. Jessie Buckley is killing it with her portrayal in "Hamnet" but I gotta say, Rose Byrne's femme fatale role in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" has me intrigued too 😏. And can we talk about Cynthia Erivo's performance in "Wicked: For Good"? She's been on fire lately and I'm excited to see if she'll make a surprise splash 🌟. The competition is fierce, but that's what makes this category so thrilling! Bring on January 22nd when the nominees are announced – I can barely wait 💥
 
idk about this Buckley girl being the clear frontrunner... i've seen her performance in "Hamnet" and while she's good, others have been getting more buzz on me too 🤔. rose byrne's turn as a femme fatale in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" is getting some serious attention from critics but what about the BAFTA longlist adding more names to the mix? does that mean cynthia erivo's dark horse contender bid just got a whole lot tougher 💁‍♀️? and what about jennifer lawrence's dramatic turn in "Die My Love"? i'm not convinced she's out of the running yet 🤷‍♂️
 
I gotta say, this whole thing reminds me of that whole "gerrymandering" thing in politics - you know, where they draw the lines to favor one side? 🤔 In the Oscars, it feels like the powers that be are trying to stack the deck for a certain actress. I mean, Buckley's been getting a lot of love from critics and awards bodies, but what about the others? Are we just supposed to overlook their performances because they're not as " marketable" or something? 🤑 It's all about who you know and where you're from, right? And let's be real, the Critics' Choice Awards are basically just a tool for the establishment to further solidify their grip on things. 💼 Meanwhile, I'm rooting for that dark horse Cynthia Erivo - she deserves some recognition, don't you think? 🤞
 
🤔 I think what makes this year's Oscars interesting is how well-deserved some of these nominations feel. Like, Jessie Buckley's performance in "Hamnet" really does sound like a game-changer, and it's nice to see her getting the recognition she deserves. The competition's definitely fierce, though - those other actresses are all giving it their all! 😊 The thing that keeps me on edge is how things can shift with just one more nomination announcement... it's anyone's game at this point, I guess 🎬
 
omg i'm so excited about the oscars! 🤩 i think jessie buckley is def one to beat with her role in hamnet, but rose byrne and kate hudson are giving her a run for her money too 🤔 what's your take on these actresses? i've been loving cynthia erivo's performance in wicked: for good, she's such an underrated talent 🙌
 
Man... I'm so excited for the Oscars, but can we talk about how they're just so extra? 🤣 I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good underdog story, and Cynthia Erivo's performance in "Wicked: For Good" is giving me LIFE 💥. But at the same time, it's like, can we please just have one actress win without any drama or controversy? 🙄

And Jessie Buckley's nomination for "Hamnet" is definitely well-deserved, but I'm still a little skeptical. Like, I know she's been getting all this hype, but has anyone seen Rose Byrne's turn as a femme fatale in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"? That performance was giving me LIFE too! 💁‍♀️

The thing is, I love how competitive it is, but sometimes I wish they just had a clear winner. Like, can we just have one Best Actress category without any surprises or snubs? 😂

I'm low-key loving Jessie Buckley's chances in this category 🤩 - her performance in "Hamnet" is genuinely captivating! However, I think Rose Byrne's turn as a femme fatale in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" could be a dark horse contender to snatch the award from under Buckley's nose 😏. Cynthia Erivo's role in "Wicked: For Good" has also caught my attention - her dramatic range is on point! But, let's be real, Jennifer Lawrence's acting chops are always top-notch 🙌... I'm keeping an eye on that Golden Globes nominations announcement to see how the standings shake up 💥
 
still keeping an eye on these awards season races 🤔. think Jessie Buckley has got some serious momentum going, but then you've got Rose Byrne and Kate Hudson giving her a run for her money 💁‍♀️. i'm kinda rooting for Cynthia Erivo though - she's always been so underrated... fingers crossed she gets the recognition she deserves 🤞
 
I'm kinda excited to see who'll take home that Oscar 🏆🎬!
