2024 Oscars Predictions:
Best Actor
Weekly Commentary (Updated Feb. 1, 2024): The SAG Awards will be even more critical this year as the guild recognizes all five Oscar-nominated leading men. This could either put it to bed for Paul Giamatti for his work as a cranky teacher in “The Holdovers,” or it could be the place Cillian Murphy shows that “Oppenheimer” isn’t just winning best picture; it’s translating a majority of its 13 nominations into wins.
I am tracking Jeffrey Wright for his inaugural “American Fiction” nomination as a potential SAG spoiler. When respected actors are invited to the party, a groundswell of support can bubble to the top, and as a journeyman actor for multiple decades who haven’t received the list of roles and accolades he deserved, this could be an opportunity to reward him accordingly (and his film).
BAFTA, where Wright isn’t nominated, could be another tide-changer for Bradley Cooper to turn it around for “Maestro” or potentially even Colman Domingo in “Rustin.” However, Murphy has a home-field advantage and could edge out his competitors.
