''Aunjanue Ellis was the huge favorite. ... I don't think anyone in her category even comes close to matching her number of wins.''
I have to humbly disagree. GoldDerby.com has a prediction chart of the Oscar acting races (linked below), and Ellis was never the ''huge favorite.''
According to their pundits, Ellis always ran behind Ariana DeBose, Kirsten Dunst (''The Power of the Dog'') and Caitriona Balfe (''Belfast'').
As for actual wins, IMDB.com lists Ellis as scoring 6 prizes for Supporting Actress: African-American Film Critics; Black Film Critics Circle; Critics Association of Central Florida; National Board of Review; the Nevada Film Critics Society, and Washington D.C. Area Film Critics.
By contrast, IMDB lists DeBose as scoring 15 prizes for Supporting Actress (my earlier count included a couple for Breakthrough).
So far, Ellis has racked up 27 nominations for Supporting Actress, and DeBose edges her out with 33.
However, I do agree with you on it being a shame that ''West Side Story'' missed out on SAG Ensemble, over the ''mediocre'' ''Don't Look Up.'' ;) |
