Oscars 2021: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category

12. Best Supporting Actor

Promising Young Woman Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Sound of Metal
Amazon Studios

NOMINEES:

Chadwick Boseman (Da 5 Bloods)

Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7)

Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah)

Leslie Odom, Jr. (One Night in Miami)

Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)

Best Supporting Actor is pretty much sewn up this year, with Chadwick Boseman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniel Kaluuya, and Leslie Odom, Jr. all basically guaranteed to receive nominations.

Perhaps the only real question mark is the brilliant Paul Raci, who has missed out a number of key nominations on the way to the Oscars, and could as a result be edged out by the SAG and Golden Globe-nominated Jared Leto (The Little Things), David Strathairn (Nomadland), or in a more unlikely case, Bill Murray (On the Rocks).

Keep those fingers crossed for Paul Raci.
