| “ I think Ariana DeBose is the frontrunner for Supporting Actress, and WSS may win in Production Design or Costume Design, but I think The Power of the Dog is going to win Best Picture and Best Director.” If Power of the Dog is on its way to winning Best Picture and Best Director, it’s almost impossible to imagine Kirsten Dunst, who’s the heart of the film, not winning as well. (Also, Benedict Cumberbatch and especially Kodi Smit-McFee are possible to win in the Lead and Supporting Actor categories, respectively.) Aside from giving a great, harrowing performance, Dunst is a hard-working, well-liked, longtime member of the Hollywood community for most of her life, since she was a child star – but someone who only two years ago was starring on TV shows that were canceled after a season – so for her to return to the movies and win an Oscar is the kind of narrative that voters tend to love. One can easily foresee a scenario over the next few weeks where that film becomes the runaway favorite in nearly all the major races. I also suspect that Spielberg and Kushner both getting snubbed doesn’t bode well for DeBose; voters clearly saw the film and were impressed with it, but there might just not be all that much passion for it. And with other movies like Dune and Nightmare Alley currently favored in the Production and Costume Design categories, it’s possible that West Side could go the way of many past films that received many nominations but didn’t win a single one. The next month will reveal a lot, especially the SAG awards. |
