Unlike last year, Netflix doesn't lead the way in terms of nominees. Oscar predictions 2021: Best Original Screenplay With Zengel missing out entirely, however, we'd like to see Maria Bakalova will it for her hilarious turn as Borat's teenage daughter Tutar Sagdiyev. Who do we want to win? We had initially opted for Helena Zengel, the 12-year-old child star of Netflix's and Universal's News of the World. The Broadchurch and The Favourite star is a darling on the awards circuit, so Colman should secure her second Academy award. Olivia Colman will want to add to her 2019 gong for The Favourite, while Borat breakout star Maria Bakalova or Minari's Yuh-Jung Youn will eying a shock victory over these household names. Glenn Close will be looking to break her Oscar hoodoo after seven previously failed attempts to win an Academy Award, but she isn't a shoo-in by any means.

It's odd to see two actors in the same movie nominated in the same Oscars category, but that's exactly what has happened with Judas and the Black Messiah. Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah).

Oscar predictions 2021: Best Supporting Actor
Who do we want to win? A victory for Vanessa Kirby would be surprising yet deserved, particularly as this is her first Academy Award nomination. Surprisingly, McDormand lost out to Day in the Golden Globes' equivalent category, but we'd still expect McDormand to win the Oscar. Who do we think will win? We think it'll be Frances McDormand.
Add in Carey Mulligan, and this field is as strong as it's ever been. Lest we forget the impervious Frances McDormand too, who is the likely frontrunner for this award, while Andra Day has snuck onto our list after her Golden Globes triumph. Viola Davis’ commanding portrayal as Ma Rainey was a joy to behold, while Vanessa Kirby’s committed performance to a tough role in Netflix's Pieces of a Woman should make her a strong contender. Again, like our Best Actor predictions we got this quintet spot on. With so many stellar female performances this year, it’s been difficult to whittle this list down.
Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom).
