Da'Vine Joy Randolph is for sure going to win. I liked her performance, but personally I preferred Danielle Brooks. Foster was good, so I'm happy for her. Blunt was good too. I don't think Ferrera's performance was Oscar worthy though.

I would love to see Danielle Brooks win too. But it seems to be Randolpjh's year she's winning everything else. And I also have to say even though she doesn't have a prayer to win, I am THRILLED for America Ferrera's nomination, she truly deserves it. I guess I should also mention that this is the only category where I have seen all the nominated performances.

Da'Vine!!!

America Ferrera getting in is lovely. Yes, its the monologue alone but still so deserved for an actress that's worked her ass off for many years. Go Betty Go!!!

Jodie does not lose.

Hate to pester one with facts, but thus far she has won 50% of the Academy Awards she has been nominated for. She lost her first time, Best Supporting Actress for Taxi Driver, then won her next two Best Actresses for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs, before losing Best Actress as Nell.

I do believe those wins were stolen from her.

She should have won for Taxi Driver She definitely deserved to win for The Accused, but I'm torn about her Silence of the Lambs win. My vote that year was Susan Sarandon for Thelma and Louise. I've never seen Nell, but I did LOVE the winning performance that year, Jessica Lange for Blue Sky. I really don't see her winning this year either. Randolph is winning everything else.

In a perfect world, Brooks or Blunt win.
I agree with Ferrera not being Oscar worthy. She wasn’t bad, mind you, just ok. Wish Pugh would have also been nominated for Oppenheimer.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph did win Best Supporting Actress for The Holdovers.

Quite apart from her acting abilities, Randolph is painful to look at. That poor woman may not see 50.

I think any comment in a thread about an acting award that come after "quite apart from her acting abilities" is likely to be out of pocket, my man.

I'll bet she sucks at Scrabble, too, but it would be a weird thing to say in this context, eh?

I do not feel pain when I look at her. I feel a lot of empathy.

I am so happy for Da'Vine Joy Randolph. She absolutely stole the show and brought so much heart to the role.
