The Low Down:
It just wasn’t in the cards for Jennifer Lopez this year. After nabbing key precursor nominations from SAG, the Golden Globes, Indie Spirits AND a win with the Los Angeles Film Critics, the Academy still looked the other way. With her biggest competition out of the way, Laura Dern will certainly continue her march to winning her very first Oscar.
The Frontrunners:
- Laura Dern, Marriage Story**+++
- Florence Pugh, Little Women*
- Margot Robbie, Bombshell**
- Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell+
- Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit**
