Oscars 2022: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category
12. Best Supporting Actor
NOMINEES:
Bradley Cooper (Licorice Pizza)
Ciaran Hinds (Belfast)
Troy Kotsur (CODA)
J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos)
Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog)
Best Supporting Actor is one of the more wide-open fields this year, for though Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog), Troy Kotsur (CODA), and Ciaran Hinds (Belfast) have basically been championed all season long, there are two slots left to fight over.
Bradley Cooper's role in Licorice Pizza is barely five minutes long but was crucially recognised by SAG, and the general industry support for Being the Ricardos could very well put J.K. Simmons in the field as well.
Other possible spoilers include Ben Affleck (The Tender Bar), Jared Leto (House of Gucci), and Jamie Dornan (Belfast).
