“The Father”
“Judas and the Black Messiah”
“Mank”
“Minari”
“Nomadland”
“Promising Young Woman”
“Sound of Metal”
“The Trial of the Chicago 7”
It’s Nomadland all the way folks. It’s the strongest movie overall (at least, of all those listed here), and it’s a major contender in several other major categories. The Father, Mank, Chicago 7 and Sound of Metal have all had their buzz diminish, and both Minari and Judas and the Black Messiah both look to get recognized in acting categories. That leaves Promising Young Woman and Nomadland, and we reckon that the former’s gender politics might hurt the movie as much as help it. With Chloé Zhao all but certain to win in Directing and Screenplay categories, she has the clearest path to taking Nomadland to the top.
Who Will Win: Nomadland
Who Should Win: One Night in Miami, which isn’t even nominated.

Um, Queerty, that is not Leslie Odom in your montage of the “Best Supporting Actor” nominees.
You’ve mixed up Black actors. Sheesh.
You show (3rd photo in) Eli Goree, who plays Cassius Clay. Leslie Odom Jr. plays Sam Cooke.
Please correct this ASAP.

Why is the guy from Riverdale (Eli Goree, I believe) who plays Cassius Clay in the movie pictured in the best supporting actor category instead of Leslie Odom, Jr.??? I guess Queerty thought it could throw in any ol’ pic of any ol’ Black person to represent a Black actor and no one would notice. Do better, Queerty…please do better.

“By far the easiest category of the evening to call, Best Actor boils down to one man alone: Chadwick Boseman.”
I’m guessing you’re not really that good at predicting, Queerty. Lmao
