Ranking Black Panther's Oscars Chances In Each Category

4. Best Supporting Actress

Black Panther Shuri
Marvel Studios

Another where Disney are submitting a number of names, with Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, and Angela Bassett all being entered into the race.

There's not quite as obvious a standout as with Jordan, which hinders its chances: Letitia Wright's Shuri steals every scene she's in, but it's more of a comedic role, and while the others get to flex their dramatic chops a bit more, there's not an obvious moment that would cement their Oscar nomination.

Chances Of Nomination: 3/10

Chances Of Winning: "Even if one of Black Panther's actresses gets a nomination, it should be impossible to get past probable nominees like Amy Adams (Backseat), Claire Foy (First Man), and Margot Robbie (Mary, Queen of Scots). 1/10"
