MTFB Oscar Take: Supporting Update / Citizen Ashe Has a Home / Deadline Talks to...Everyone

MTAFB'S OSCAR TAKE: SUPPORTING UPDATE





Here's your update on the Supporting Acting races.  This updates the predictions last posted for these categories on Sept. 27th.  TFF #48 performances are indicated in Bold and their previous position in my predictions are indicated to the right in parentheses.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

1) Kirsten Dunst/The Power of the Dog (1)
2) Ann Dowd/Mass (2)
3) Aunjunue Ellis/King Richard (3)
4) Caitriona Balfe/Belfast (4)*
5) Adriana DeBose/West Side Story (New)

Alternates: Judi Dench/Belfast and Ruth Negga/Passing
* Depending on category placement 
Personally, I'm pulling for Dunst and Balfe.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

1) Bradley Cooper/Licorice Pizza (1)
2) Ciaran Hinds/Belfast (2)
3) Corey Hawkins/The Tragedy of Macbeth (3)
4) Jason Issacs/Mass (4)
5) Jared Leto/House of Gucci (New)

Alternates: Ben Affleck/The Tender Bar and Kodi Smit-McPhee/The Power of the Dog
I'd urge Academy voters to remember Tony Kotsur in CODA and Kodi Smit-McPhee in The Power of the Dog.



CITIZEN ASHE HAS A HOME




Magnolia has acquired the domestic theatrical distribution rights to the Rex Miller/Sam Pollard documentary about tennis legend Arthur Ashe.  The film made its debut at the year's Telluride Film Festival.  The film also screened this past weekend at the BFI London Film Festival.  The film was produced by HBO Max and CNN Media among others.




DEADLINE TALKS TO...EVERYONE




Deadline.com's "Contender" series (London) has begun and is highlighting a number of the films and filmmakers that were a part of  the 2021 edition of The SHOW.  I have linked a bunch of them here:
