Oy, not much to report here. 12 of the 16 actresses getting votes this month are in the exact same position as last month. That stagnation comes from what feels like a field of uninspired choices. Five of the top 5 (well, 6) are previous Oscar winners. This can’t be what the list will look like January, can it? I have to imagine that in the next six months we’ll see some of these names fall and others rise.
Digging into the Other Contenders list could show us where new choices could come from. Glenn Close, a six-time Oscar nominee, could break through with The Wife. Salma Hayek in Beatriz at Dinner has gotten rave reviews and would be a welcome return to the Oscar race. If Mudbound can avoid the Netflix stigma (and release strategy), Carey Mulligan could be a force. Even though I’ve dropped Halle Berry (Kings) from my list maybe The Orchard can mount a strong campaign for her. A24 might be able to get Kirsten Dunst (Woodshock) her first Oscar nomination.
