2024 Oscar Predictions: SUPPORTING ACTRESS (October)

Is Juliette Binoche about to make a huge Oscar comeback? After breaking in big time with her upset over Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall for 1996’s The English Patient, Binoche earned just one more nomination, in Best Actress for 2000’s paltry entry Chocolat, 23 years ago. But now she’s got a prime spot in France’s International Feature Film Oscar submission, The Taste of Things, which has enraptured festival audiences since Cannes (where it won Best Director). You can smell it, something’s bubbling. Let her cook.

The Screen Actors Guild (who are still currently under strike) will reveal their nominations on January 10, 2024 and the 30th SAG Awards will be held on February 24. Oscar nominations will be announced on January 23 and the 96th Academy Awards will be held on March 10.
