Who’ll Be Nominated for the Oscars on January 22nd?
In my previous post on the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award winners I indicated that the Flickering Dreams team – comprising myself, the Reverend Andy Godfrey, Scott Forbes and Emma Sewell – would be getting together to predict the nominations for the top categories at the Oscars on January 22nd, and this post contains those predictions. The actual podcast recording is also attached at the end of this post.
There are a few surprises and some predicted snubs, but we will see how close we got it after the event!
As always, I’ve left in the hot links to by personal One Mann’s Movies reviews of the films, where I’ve seen them.
Best Film
- One Battle After Another
- Marty Supreme
- Bugonia
- Sinners
- Sentimental Value
- Hamnet
- Frankenstein
- The Secret Agent
- It Was Just an Accident
- Train Dreams
Best Director
- Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
- Ryan Coogler, Sinners
- Chloe Zhao, Hamnet
- Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value
- Jafar Panahi, It Was Just an Accident
Controversially, we think Guillermo del Toro might get snubbed on this one for Frankenstein.
Best Actress
- Jessie Buckley, Hamnet
- Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
- Emma Stone, Bugonia
- Renate Reinsve, Sentimental Value
- Kate Hudson, Song Sung Blue
Perhaps Hudson is more heart over head, but we live in hope!
Best Actor
- Timothee Chalomet, Marty Supreme
- Michael B Jordan, Sinners
- Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another
- Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent
- Jesse Plemons, Bugonia
Best Supporting Actor

Supporting Actress.
- Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another
- Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Sentimental Value
- Amy Madigan, Weapons
- Wunmi Mosaku, Sinners
- Odessa O’Zion, Marty Supreme
We’ve gone a bit rogue with this one, dropping out Elle Fanning (for Sentimental Value) and Ariana Grande (for Wicked: For Good) in favour of Odessa O’Zion, playing Marty’s girlfriend in Marty Supreme.
