The 92nd Academy Awards- The Oscars- Best Actress in a Supporting Role
With the Academy Awards, the Oscars, just a few weeks away, we can step back and take a look at the award categories. We have already taken a look at the category nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Now we will be taking a look at the nominations for the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award.
At the top of the list for Best Supporting Actress nominees, we have Kathy Bates for her role as Bobi Jewell in the movie Richard Jewell. The movie being about Richard Jewell, the security guard suspected of bombing the 1996 Summer Olympics. Bates gave a performance as a caring mother throughout the film, and it comes across very well. If it didn’t come across that well, then she wouldn’t have been chosen for this nomination to begin with.
Going down the list, we have Laura Dern for her role as family lawyer Nora Fanshaw in Marriage Story. The movie shows us a couple pushed to their extremes during a divorce. Dern plays one of the crucial characters that mediates the divorce proceedings and does an incredible job being a lawyer. Her nomination just shows another reason why this film is so highly praised.
An actress that was nominated for Best Actress made it to this nomination as well. Scarlett Johansson was nominated for her role as a single German mother in the film Jojo Rabbit. As a supporting actress she plays a very important role in the film, and she performs it very well. Obviously that gives her plenty of reason to be on this nominations list as well.
Following that nomination, we have Florence Pugh who played the role of Amy March in the newest adaptation of the film Little Women. Little Women is about four sisters’ Massachusetts childhoods and the events and relationships that helped shape them as adults. She portrays the character as being jealous of her sister,the main character, and her emotion as such is what gives her this nomination.
The final actress to be nominated for the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role is Margot Robbie for her role as Kayla Pospisil in Bombshell. The movie sees three women take on the controversial media empire Fox News and face off against the powerful man who created it. She plays as one of the key characters of the film and as such delivers a performance to match up to her role.
