Academy Awards 2018 nominees predictions: BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (1st ROUND)

Of course it is too soon to predict the Academy Award nominees since the "Oscar releases" will only come around September/October/November/Christmas, but sometimes early word on some cinematic works and some early releases give me enough factors to have under consideration.
This way and after presenting you my TOP 5 contenders, it's time to present the other contenders I have under serious consideration:
  • #6: Jason Mitchell for Mudbound - He's the best chance Dee Ree's Mudbound at scoring an acting nomination at the Oscars. Reviews are solid and so it's his buzz. Award season will dictate if he goes beyond being "just a contender". A good alternate to Boyega if they want to nominate another black actor instead.
  • #7: Laurence Fishburne for Last Flag Flying - The third element of the leading men of Linklater's upcoming new movie. Fishburne is a gifted actor for sure, but Carell and Cranston can be much more charismatic figures which can be a huge difference when it comes to campaigning. 
  • #8: Armie Hammer for Call Me By Your Name - The love interest of the movie's lead, Hammer also got praise from critics and audiences at Sundance. The movie will be subject of analysis of many critics and many AMPAS members will want to see this story of discovery of homossexuality and nostalgia - and his role is far more central than Stuhlbarg's... Is he the right Call Me By Your Name's horse I should bet? Maybe. Let's wait.
  • #9: Javier Bardem for Mother! - You know he makes such a good psychopath!! But buzz around Darren Aronofsky's Mother! seems to be more about Jennifer Lawrence and Michelle Pfeiffer than other cast members... But Bardem is brilliant and he will find a way to make an impression for sure! You still remember him in No Country for Old Men, right?
  • #10: Michael Greyeyes for Woman Walks Ahead - The AMPAS loves when actors embrace their origins and transform themselves into some historical figure. Greyeyes fits the profile: from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada, he will be portraying the historic Sitting Bull. We have no big details, but pay close attention to this one!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
