This is a man-heavy cast, but Gladstone has the critical momentum to backup her potential | Probably the juiciest role in the film, as long as the Academy doesn’t disregard her due to her recent win | Always great, but how much of an actual role is it? Could get lost in the rest of the ensemble | Might have just missed for The Lost Daughter. Starting to get taken very seriously as an actress | Keeps putting in quality work after her near-miss for Downsizing. Hopefully the role is big enough |

Six Tony awards are hard to ignore, but she doesn’t do many films. How big is the role? | Sarah Polley has a checkered track record with Oscar, but who is a lead and who is supporting? | She’s gonna be all over the place in 2022. Will it be this or will it be something else, or could it be nothing? | Could be the Ackie show with no other room for anyone else, but Williams has a prime role as Whitney’s long-time assistant | The Emmys love her, but she can’t get anywhere close with the Academy. Maybe this is the one |

Could tag along with Lawrence if the film is a big hit | Despite a productive 90s, could never get a nomination. Total guess on if she has a big enough role in the film | Self-directed nominations are rare, but she could get swept up in the acting fervor if it all goes correctly | It’s a crowded field in the Babylon supporting women, but Anna May Wong is a great role | Playing Priscilla Presley, the trailer wasn’t exactly shining a bright light on her |
