the Academy Award for Best Di- rector to date: Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker in 2010 and last year’s winner, Chloe Zhao, for No- madland, which is why we’re cheer- ing for Campion. Other frontrun- ners include Steven Spielberg, who is very closely attached to the Acad- emy, Denis Villeneuve for Dune, Kenneth Branagh for Belfast and Paul Thomas Anderson for Licorice Pizza. The directors whose films are strong contenders in the category of international feature film, but also for the best screenplay Os- car, include Ryusuke Hamaguchi for Drive My Car and Asghar Far- hadi for A Hero. Best actor Prior to the start of the awards season, Will Smith seemed to be a dead cert for King Richard, but most of the other awards ended up go- ing to Benedict Cumberbatch for The Power of the Dog. On his side, Smith has so far secured the Gold- en Globe in the category of best ac- tor in a drama film, and if there’s anyone who could spoil the party for these two, that would certainly be Andrew Garfield for Tick, Tick… Boom! Other contenders include Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos), Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth) and Peter Dinklage (Cyrano). Other top-tier hopefuls include Nicolas Cage for Pig and Simon Rex for Red Rocket. Best actress Until the Golden Globes were awarded, Kristen Stewart appeared as though she would prove invinci- ble in this category for her role in Pablo Larrain’s Spencer. Then the award ceremony happened, and Nicole Kidman took the best ac- tress award for her leading role in the drama Being the Ricardos. Three days later, when the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild were announced, Stewart wasn’t even among the nominations. Kidman was. Before these two events, Kris- ten had already secured a total of

19 prestigious awards. Apart from Kristen and Nicole, other top con- tenders in this category include Ol- ivia Colman (The Lost Daughter), Lady Gaga (House of Gucci), Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) and Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza). Best supporting roles The best supporting actor cat- egory has one clear favourite for now, and that’s Cody Smit-McPhee for The Power of the Dog, with other actors proving barely able to win anything against him. Howev-
er, we should mention two actors from Belfast, Jamie Dornan and Ciarán Hinds, as well as CODA’s Troy Kotsur. When it comes to best supporting actress, the situa- tion also appears increasingly cer- tain, with the top nominee firmly established in the form of Golden Globe winner Ariana DeBose for West Side Story. Other actress- es likely to be among the nom- inations include Kirsten Dunst (The Power of the Dog), Ruth Negga (Passing) and Caitríona Balfe (Belfast).
