Who do you think will win the Oscar for Best Actress in 2024?

[jeangreyforever]

I picked the ten most high-profile actresses who all have major releases coming out this year and are most likely to be nominated for an Oscar. Who do you think will win the Oscar or who do you hope will win?

Can overdue Annette Bening finally be awarded an Oscar now in the form of an Oscar bait biopic as swimmer Diana Nyad now that Hilary Swank isn't in the running to sabotage her chances as she did twice before?

Will Cate Blanchett be considered due for her third Oscar as a boozy nun after having lost for Tár last year despite being the frontrunner?

Or will Jessica Lange take precedence for winning that so rare but coveted third Oscar for a performance of a lifetime that made her the first American actress nominated for an Olivier award and netted her a Tony?

Will Academy favorite, Todd Haynes, be counted on as delivering nominations for his two lead actresses, Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, or will the precarious subject matter topple their chances as occurred with Blanchett and Tár?

Similarly, will Anne Hathaway or Jessica Chastain overpower the other in their 21st century version of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane or will Anne score a nomination instead for what appears to be the next Carol?

Will Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren's biopics as a war journalist and Israel's first and only female Prime Minister respectively lead one to the front of the pack?

Or will Alicia Vikander prove her merit as the reigning dame of period dramas in Firebrand and thus silence the naysayers who claimed her Oscar win was entirely due to Harvey Weinstein?
