10 Blockbusters From 2017 That Should Win Oscars (But Won't)
6. Logan (Best Supporting Actor)
Why It Should Win: Patrick Stewart gives arguably the best screen performance of his career as an aged, deeply ill Charles Xavier in Logan, a culmination of almost two decades of playing the legendary superhero.
The fact that Stewart has bafflingly never been nominated for an Oscar only helps his chances here, especially as even the non-comic book crowd have widely praised his heartbreaking performance, and the supporting actor categories tend to be less-prejudiced against blockbusters.
Why It Won't: This is always a stacked category, and voters might ultimately decide that the nomination ends up being enough for Stewart. Plus, only one single superhero movie has ever received an acting Oscar nomination, with Heath Ledger posthumously scooping a win for The Dark Knight.
Simply, all the odds are against him getting anything more than a nomination at the absolute most.
