Oscars 2023: Final Predictions In Every Category

21. Best Supporting Actress

NOMINEES:

Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)

Hong Chau (The Whale)

Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin)

Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once)

Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once)

Who Should Win:

Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin)

Best Supporting Actress is an especially strong, contentious field this year, but amid a sea of flashier performances in bigger movies, it's Kerry Condon's subtler, more low-flying work that really stands out.

She nabbed the BAFTA a few weeks ago, though is probably unlikely to repeat at the Oscars, despite a passionate wave of support.

Who Will Win:

Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once)

The industry absolutely loves Jamie Lee Curtis and evidently feels her overdue for an Oscar, even if this will be a relatively soft win for the category, especially given her competition.

Curtis' recent SAG win cements the tremendous industry support behind her here, and while she's absolutely not a lock - Bassett or Condon could take it - she's certainly the safest bet.
