Even though the To Leslie dust has settled and Andrea Riseborough remains a best actress nominee, could even more surprises be in store for the best actress category? One Little Gold Men listener speculates that the Academy members who supported her nomination may be even more motivated and push her to what could be a historically surprising win. Another listener suspects that two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett may lose some well-connected Hollywood votes to Riseborough, creating room for Michelle Yeoh to sail to victory.
It’s all guesswork at this point, and with three weeks to go until the final Oscar voting begins, it’s high time for speculation to run wild. So on this week’s Little Gold Men podcast we leaned into it, answering listener questions about best actress, the role of ranked choice voting among this year’s best picture nominees, what the Oscars might learn from the backlash at this year’s Grammys, and much more. There’s even time at the end for speculation about the near future, with the hosts picking the actors they expect to earn their first Oscar nomination sometime soon.
