Oscar predictions 2021: Best Supporting Actor Who do we want to win? A victory for Vanessa Kirby would be surprising yet deserved, particularly as this is her first Academy Award nomination. Surprisingly, McDormand lost out to Day in the Golden Globes' equivalent category, but we'd still expect McDormand to win the Oscar. Who do we think will win? We think it'll be Frances McDormand. Add in Carey Mulligan, and this field is as strong as it's ever been. Lest we forget the impervious Frances McDormand too, who is the likely frontrunner for this award, while Andra Day has snuck onto our list after her Golden Globes triumph. Viola Davis’ commanding portrayal as Ma Rainey was a joy to behold, while Vanessa Kirby’s committed performance to a tough role in Netflix's Pieces of a Woman should make her a strong contender.

Again, like our Best Actor predictions we got this quintet spot on. With so many stellar female performances this year, it’s been difficult to whittle this list down.


We were expecting another diverse list and, thankfully, we got every Oscar nominee correct in this category. Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom).
