| Great reputation + great actor + biopic = looking pretty good | Nolan has only had one actor nominated before. Murphy has also had zero luck with the Academy in the past | Probably second place in 2022, a strong showing could find him in the mix again | This will either be a runaway success or a massive failure with no in-between | Hasn’t been nominated in over 15 years. Reuniting with Payne could get him back in Oscar’s good graces |

| It’s easy enough to predict Leo, but his record has been more spotty lately. I’m not optimistic | Really wanted to predict him, but his serious acting career hasn’t happened in any way so far. This could be a big jump | Always great, but perpetually under the radar, Holland could finally make his way on to the big stage | The last FIVE Fincher films have earned Lead Actor/Actress nominations. Very little is known so far | The Oscars have had a few chances, but Sandler hasn’t gotten there yet. It would really have to be something special |

| The former nominee could make his way back in if the film gets enough of a showcase | Holocaust-adjacent films haven’t been in the Oscars taste for a while, but you never know with Hopkins | Works a lot, but who knows what will hit and what will miss. Mann doesn’t exactly have the best Academy track record | Andrew Haigh got a nomination for Charlotte Rampling for 45 Years, maybe he can get Scott in the Academy’s view | This looks so baity, that its really going to have to do something special to get Phoenix there |
