|
Who Should Win? | ||||
43% of you wanted Scarlett Johansson to triumph... though Renee Z (who eventually won) was the second choice among our readers. The votes went like so.

Who Will Win? | ||||
Whenever the Academy chooses a weak set of nominees, the lock-ness of the presumed winner becomes even moreso. There you go Renée... you're winning a second Oscar for virtually no reason! | ||||
Who Got Stiffed? | ||||
First among them, Lupita Nyong'o who gave the year's most brilliant female performance in Us. Her campaign was strong, too, but it wasn't enough to leap over the twin obstacle of Oscar's genre bias and short attention span. Other women who earned raves this year included Alfre Woodard (Clemency) who got a terrible release date and barely-there campaign from Neon, Elisabeth Moss (her Smell) who critics raved about and then abandoned when it came time to list, Mary Kay Place (Diane) who won a couple big critics awards but had a tiny film, and Awkwafina (The Farewell) who headlined a sleeper hit indie but still couldn't find traction. | ||||
