Oscars 2024: 20 Insanely Early Predictions

8. Best Supporting Actor: Ryan Gosling (Barbie)

Of all four acting fields, Best Supporting Actor is the one with a history of nominating more left-field performances, such as Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Sylvester Stallone (Creed), Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight), and Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder).

And here's an adventurous pick for 2024: Ryan Gosling will not only receive a Best Supporting Actor nod for Barbie - he'll take the damn gong home outright.

Gosling has proven himself a surprisingly sharp comedic talent in the past, and with early word hyping up his performance as a sure highlight, don't be shocked if he manages to take it all the way.

A Barbie movie winning an acting Oscar sounds ludicrous, but a year after Everything Everywhere All at Once - the furthest thing from Oscar bait imaginable - performed an awards sweep, is it really?
