I finally saw Little Women! I loved it! And now I can pity the actresses against each other.
5. Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit
I absolutely disliked Johansson’s characterization in Jojo Rabbit, from the absolutely bizarre accent choice to weird attempts at comedy. I fail to see how this nomination came to be, especially when taken into consideration her tour de force performance in the lead actress role (for which she is also nominated).
4. Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell
I barely remember anything about Richard Jewell and that includes Kathy Bates’s role. She is a legend and the character she played surely was not too challenging for such an icon so I am sure it was great.
3. Margot Robbie, Bombshell
Margot Robbie is pretty good in Bombshell, meaning she is doing what she can with the role she was given. She even has some emotionally charged film that often fails to deliver what it tries to. I would not have nominated her myself but she does do a good job.
2. Laura Dern, Marriage Story
Laura Dern is going to win this Oscar, Marriage Story is my favourite film so I am fine with this but I honestly am not too ecstatic about this being potentially the only Oscar this film takes home on Sunday.
1. Florence Pugh, Little Women
Easy pick – Florence Pugh is PHENOMENAL in Little Women. She creates such a complex character that marries humour and emotional delivery. I would love it if she could win for Midsommar but she also did something special with her Amy Marsh.
