(Boy Erased
& The Upside)
The Surprise Package
The Aussie actress
could get a gong for
either of these films.
She’s superb in both.
Melissa
McCarthy
She’s one of Hollywood’s funniest
women, but when it comes to this
year’s Best Actress race, nobody’s
laughing at Melissa McCarthy.
As disgraced writer Lee Israel
in Can You Ever Forgive Me?,
the Bridesmaids star is utterly
superb, managing to get you on
side, even though her character
is entirely unlikeable. She’s got
tough competition, but it would
be unforgiveable to rule her out.
Emma Stone &
Rachel Weisz
Rivals in The Favourite
and rivals in real life,
too, with producer Fox
putting each forward
for ‘supporting’ glory.
(If Beale Street
Could Talk)
In a film full of terrific
performances, King
still manages to shine.
Also in contention for
Best Supporting
Actress... Claire Foy
(First Man), Amy Adams
(Vice), Margot Robbie
(Mary Queen of Scots)
