If you’ve worked with acclaimed director Kelly Reichardt there’s a good chance you’re in the running for a Supporting Actress Oscar nomination this season. Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans), Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) and Laura Dern (The Son) all co-starred in Reichardt’s Certain Women (2016) and are all in the top tier of this year’s competition. You can’t count out Kristen Stewart either; the first-time Oscar nominee last season and also a star of Certain Women has David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future debuting at Cannes this month.
Like in Supporting Actor, there are several films with potential dual nomination chances. Much depends on size of role, impact and actual category placement but we have The Whale (Hong Chau, Samantha Morton and Sadie Sink), Women Talking (Jessie Buckley, Frances McDormand, Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, and Michelle McLeod), She Said (Patricia Clarkson, Samantha Morton and Zoe Kazan), TÁR (Nina Hoss and Noemie Merlant) and more.
Both The Son and Killers of the Flower Moon have possible second contenders in Vanessa Kirby and Tantoo Cardinal, respectively. If Everything Everywhere All at Once blows up we could see either Stephanie Hsu or Jamie Lee Curtis show up. The possibilities in this category are endless and we’re just cracking the surface.
