For prediction, discussion, entertainment purposes only discuss on the blog
April Foolish Predictions!
| Tier 1 - Predictions | ||||

 |
 |
 |
|
Giancarlo Esposito An enduring popular character actor and he's got a key role as what sounds like antagonist to Driver's protagonist. His screen daughter is caught between their disparate visions of the future |
Kieran Culkin (never nom'ed) A co-lead but you know how Oscar voters do. Will Sundance success transfer to wider acclaim? His reviews were raves. |
Leigh Gill He's playing a real person, Michael Davies, known as "Micky Middget" in London of the 40s. But in ensemble casts you never know who will get the screen type / juiciest parts |
Jeremy Strong He's playing Roy Cohn which will be a meaty role IF it's large enough and Trump's biological daddy issues aren't more of the focus. |
Samuel L Jackson If he hadn't just received the Honorary we'd assume this was his Oscar role. He was Tony nominated on Broadway for this revival. |

Brian Tyree Henry Oscar loves a mentor/coach figure in this category and actors love Brian Tyree Henry. It's easy to picture this happening even if the film isn't a huge player |
Stanley Tucci Lots of characters in this Papal thriller. Will Tucci pop or will one of the other potential Popes steal the film? |
John Lithgow What if it's Lithgow and not Tucci who stands out in this Papal hopefuls with secrets thriller? A comeback narrative would be fun. We shall see |
Brandon Wilson Sounds like a co-lead but it's a good role. Will Oscar spring for some younger talent this year? |
Ethan Herisse The focal role but given that he's lesser known, and we don't know the film's structure anything could happen. |
| Tier 3 - Way Too Early To Rule Anything Out... | ||||

Harris Dickinson What's his role like? Oscar makes the pretty boys wait along time for a nomination, no matter how talented... |
George Mackay He's playing the son in the bunker and he's been impressing for years now. Plus he sings and dances here. When will he start being nominated for prizes? |
Pedro Pascal He's very popular at the moment. But what's this role like? There are a lot of supporting players (and stars) n this sword and sandals dramae so who gets the flashiest roles? |
Jeff Goldblum Seems far-fetched until you realize how easy a career narrative could emerge if people love the film |
Haluk Bilginer He's playing Aristotle Onassis. But Larrain's biopics tend to be very narrowly focused on the lead |

Who will stand out in 2024 movies? Which leads will be demoted to supporting? Here's a general overview of other ensemble members
