Nomination Predictions (2024 Oscars)

Returning to my blog for posterity's sake!:


In order of likelihood.


Picture

Conclave

The Brutalist

Emelia Perez

Anora

Wicked

A Complete Unknown

Dune: Part 2

The Substance

A Real Pain

Sing Sing


Possibilities

Nickel Boys

September 5

Challengers

All We Imagine as Light

I'm Still Here


The top 8 feel pretty set, with some room for surprises in those last 2 spots.


Director

Brady Corbet, The Brutalist

Sean Baker, Anora

Jacques Audiard, Emelia Perez

Edward Berger, Conclave

Coralie Faraget, The Substance


Possibilities 

Payal Kapadia, All We Imagine as Light

Dennis Villeneuve, Dune: Part 2

James Mangold, A Complete Unkown

Ramell Ross, Nickel Boys

Jon Chu, Wicked


I'll be shocked if I get this category right. I'm predicting someone big to miss, I just don't know who.


Actress

Demi Moore, The Substance

Mikey Madison, Anora

Karla Sofia Gascon, Emelia Perez

Cynthia Erivo, Wicked

Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Hard Truths


Possibilities

Fernanda Torres, I'm Still Here

Angelina Jolie, Maria

Pamela Anderson, The Last Showgirl

Nicole Kidman, Babygirl

Saoirse Ronan, The Outrun

Tilda Swinton, The Room Next Door


A really tough category, especially that fifth slot.


Actor

Adrien Brody, The Brutalist

Timothee Chalamet, A Complete Unknown

Ralph Fiennes, Conclave

Colman Domingo, Sing Sing

Daniel Craig, Queer


Possibilities

Sebastian Stan, The Apprentice

Hugh Grant, Heretic

Jesse Eisenberg, A Real Pain

Sebastian Stan, A Different Man


If not for the vote split, I'd predict Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice since Queer feels VERY weak. I think Craig might just barely squeak in.


Supporting Actress

Zoe Saldana, Emelia Perez

Ariana Grande, Wicked

Isabella Rossellini, Conclave

Feliticy Jones, The Brutalist

Margaret Qualley, The Substance


Possibilities 

Jamie Lee Curtis, The Last Showgirl

Monica Barbaro, A Complete Unknown

Selena Gomez, Emelia Perez

Danielle Deadwyler, The Piano Lesson

Aujuane Ellis-Taylor, Nickel Boys


This is a very chaotic category. Other than the top 2, I have no idea what is happening! I'm betting that strong performances for Conclave, The Brutalist, and The Substance pull those actresses in.


Supporting Actor

Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain

Edward Norton, A Complete Unknown

Yura Borisov, Anora

Guy Pearce, The Brutalist

Jeremy Strong, The Apprentice


Possibilities

Clarence Maclin, Sing Sing

Denzel Washington, Gladiator II

Jonathan Bailey, Wicked

Stanley Tucci, Conclave


Another fairly chaotic category, as I think almost everyone could miss other than Culkin. It's crazy to me that Maclin isn't safe.


Adapted Screenplay

Conclave

Sing Sing

Emelia Perez

A Complete Unknown

Nickel Boys


Possibilities

Wicked

Dune: Part 2

I'm Still Here

The Room Next Door

The Piano Lesson

Nosferatu


The top 5 seem fairly clear, although there is always room for a surprise.


Original Screenplay

Anora

A Real Pain

The Brutalist

The Substance

Hard Truths


Possibilities

Challengers

All We Imagine As Light

September 5


A very clear top 4, with a few options for number 5.
