Best Supporting Actress 2016
Viola Davis, Fences Naomie Harris, Moonlight Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
and... who else? Critics Choice has Janelle Monae, Nicole Kidman and Greta Gerwig but idk. Guess we'll see who Globes and what not choose.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
This category feels especially weak this year other than Davis and Williams.
Current predix:
Viola Davis, Fences Naomie Harris, Moonlight Helen Mirren, Eye in the Sky Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
Janelle Monae could get nominated instead of Spencer. Nicole Kidman and Greta Gerwig are certainly possible too although both of their movies seem weak.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
Umm, Mirren is definitely lead in Eye in the Sky.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
I haven't seen the movie, but is she campaining as lead though? Would not be the first time they demote the significance of the role in order to get a nomination/win.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
I don't know, but she is THE lead in this film. There is not even a second lead there.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
It does not matter really. There is no firm rule or guideline. Whatever category studio decides to champion she will be eligible in.

There is no such thing as eligibility in one category or another at the Oscars. The studio may decide to campaign her in whatever category, but it doesn't mean the Oscar voters will follow suit. Sure, it increases the probability, but there have been cases of actors campaigned in supporting that were still nominated in lead (Kate Winslet in The Reader) or cases in which weird campaigning led to no nominations at all (that is how Nicholson and DiCaprio most likely missed for The Departed).

After Alicia Vikander and Rooney Mara were both nominated in supporting last year for clear lead performances, I think we can throw your argument out the window. Mirren can at least point to Eye in the Sky being an ensemble film.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
But, yes, I now found the THR article that says that Bleecker Street is campaigning the entire cast as supporting. Ridiculous, really.

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
Eh, I feel everyone is supporting in Eye in the Sky. Similar to Syriana or Traffic.

Haven't seen any of those yet, but right now I wish at least one of the following would get in to mix things up a bit. Sofia Boutella, Star Trek Beyond Gal Gadot, Criminal Haley Bennett, The Girl on the Train Teresa Palmer, Hacksaw Ridge

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
The last two nominations slots (after Davis, Williams and Harris) are really wide open, though

I feel like Octavia Spencer and Nicole Kidman are pretty solid, unless Hidden Figures really catches fire and gets double noms or Greta Gerwig somehow coattails off Annette Bening (who I don't think will be nominated in Actress anyway).

Kidman's nominations for some reason remind me of Angelina Jolie's for A Mighty Heart...

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
Kidman (who plays zwackerm's mom) is basically a lock. She has a Oscar clip scene etc. and there is no competition after the top 5

Re: Best Supporting Actress 2016
Davis, Kidman, Harris, Spencer and Williams seems set as the lineup.
