| Ever since awards season began, Ariana DeBose has been the one to beat for Supporting Actress. It's a combination of her fiery performance and her role of Anita, which is the showiest and rangiest in ''West Side Story.'' (Of course, Rita Moreno won an Oscar for playing Anita, and Karen Olivo won a Tony.) DeBose's triumph in ''West Side Story'' also caps off a recent career run that has included ''The Prom'' on Netflix and ''Schmigadoon!'' on Apple+ TV. DeBose has won 17 Supporting Actress awards for ''West Side Story,'' including the Golden Globe and the L.A. Film Critics Circle. She's been up for 3 dozen more prizes, and hasn't missed getting nominated by any of the major awards, such as Critics' Choice, BAFTA, SAG and Oscars. Mike Faist is equally award-worthy, but hasn't the same luck or traction with critics groups. He's won only 1 Supporting Actor award (from Phoenix Critics Circle), and missed the cut for Critics' Choice, SAG, Globes and Oscars. Faist's biggest coup, so far, was his surprise nomination from BAFTA. Awards are so subjective, and it's a crapshoot as to who gets nominated or wins. Oftentimes, it feels like such an echo chamber. To me, ''West Side Story's'' cast is full of dynamic triple threats who deserved to win the SAG Ensemble prize. Now that would've been cool! |
