In The Best Actor Oscar Race, Literally Anything Could Happen
['Radhika Seth']
Vogue UK
At the Oscars, it’s usually the Best Actress race that is unreasonably stacked year after year – packed to the rafters with contenders who’ve given performances for the ages.
This year, that category is strong, no question, but, for once, the Best Actor line-up is stronger – so impressive, in fact, that a number of commanding turns (Joel Edgerton in Train Dreams, Jesse Plemons in Bugonia, Lee Byung-hun in No Other Choice) couldn’t even make it onto the shortlist.
Well, in the run-up to Oscar night, there seems to be a feasible path to victory for every single one of them.
Should a late-breaking Sinners wave sweep it over the line to take Best Picture, it’s easy to see how it could propel Jordan forward, too.
