2015 Oscar Predictions: Best Supporting Actress


Every year since 2009 when Monique won for Precious, the winner of the race for Best Supporting Actress has pretty much swept every single award along the way and struck a hatred for her into our hearts. Don't believe me? Look at Anne (with an E) Hathaway and Melissa “Take out my own FYC ad” Leo. This year looks like no exception with Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) looking like a lock for the prize. She has taken every award she needed SAG, Globes, Critics Choice. However, the one person we can see as a potential threat here is (Birdman). With Birdman on a surprising late resurgence in the season, it looks like it's going to challenge Boyhood for Best Picture. If the Birdman love is strong enough, we could see her taken along for a sweep. It's an unlikely scenario, but the only other one at that.

Will Win: Patricia Arquette (Boyhood)
Could Win: (Birdman)
Should Win: (A Most Violent Year)
Should Have Been Nominated: Since Chastain already took my “Should Win” I'm going to give this to Rene Russo (Nightcrawler)
