On this week’sFor Your Consideration, Collider’s awards expertsScottMantzandPerri Nemiroffoffer their Best Actress predictions. Ever sinceJudydebuted at the Telluride Film Festival and then played again at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival,ReneeZellwegerhas been considered the frontrunner for her performance as Hollywood legendJudy Garland.
Also firmly in the mix right now isScarlett Johanssonfor her work in the Netflix release,Marriage Story. She could also enjoy some added momentum thanks to the record-breaking success ofAvengers: Endgameand the fact that she also delivers an excellent supporting performance inJojo Rabbit. Another likely nominee this year isCharlize Theronfor her work inBombshellasMegynKelly, and we’ve also gotSaoirse Ronanin contention for playing Jo Marsh inGreta Gerwig’s adaptation ofLittle Women. They enjoyed great success withLady Birdin 2017, soLittle Womencould mark another strong awards season run for the duo.
One of the big questions this awards season is, how much of a mark can A24’sThe Farewellmake? At this point, it seems like one of its best chances is in the Best Actress category withAwkwafina. Others still worth keeping an eye on right now includeAlfre WoodardforClemencywhich is scheduled to arrive in select theaters on December 27th andLupita Nyong’ofor her work in the March releaseUs.
