Welcome to the most exciting, unpredictable and indecipherable category of this new edition of the Oscars. The coveted statuette corresponding to the best supporting actress is currently without a clear favorite, with (at least) three options that could very well win and two that, given what has been seen so far in the race, could even end up surprising at the last second. .
Oscars 2023: Analysis of the best supporting actress
1 Angela Bassett – “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
There was a point in her career, following her celebrated wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, where Angela Bassett seemed like the one to beat. in the Best Supporting Actress category at the 2023 Oscars. It was something ephemeral that, in any case, seemed to make all the sense in the world in its essence of recognition of an entire career. Also, her performance was by far one of the strengths of ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ so it wouldn’t have been a scandal that he took home the statuette.
But the ride went back and forth until almost transforming the Basset option into a sort of third way facing a (surprising) battle between Jamie Lee Curtis and Kerry Condon. Certainly a victory for him cannot be ruled out, far from it, but at the moment he seems to be further away than close to the Oscar.

2 Kerry Condon – “The Banshees of Inisherin”
Her key win at the Baftas, coupled with her defeat to Angela Bassett at the SAGs, make Kerry Condon the closest thing to a “frontrunner” in the Best Supporting Actress Oscar category. And she multiplies the quotes. Her triumph would, of course, have been an act of justice in all respects ever since this is the best of five performances nominated for the award and, perhaps, the only Oscar that would end up taking home the magnificent ‘Lost Souls of Inisherin’ and ‘All at once everywhere’ military parade holds up in virtually all major categories.

3 Hong Chau – “The Whale”
Every moment of “The Whale” where Hong Chau appears is something very similar to receiving a pocket of oxygen, truth and purity in the midst of the most unleashed and underlined drama. Admirable in her ability to live up to a spectacular Brendan Fraser, both are by far the best in the film, the Vietnamese-American performer moves without artifice and thrills without cheating. A sober and emotional performance that the Academy, which seems to have been practically unenthusiastic about Darren Aronofsky’s latest proposal, was able to appreciate the right measure of him.

4 Jamie Lee Curtis – “All at Once Everywhere”
His performance may not be one of those recitals that remain in your memory forever, but in the end, What a joy it would be to see the great Jamie Lee Curtis lift an Oscar. Something that seemed impossible until the SAG award and the absolute buzz generated in Hollywood by the success of a performer who is already part of the family and who is truly stunning in ‘All at once everywhere’, could be verified. terrifying and moving with equal skill. A more than serious candidate to reach the Oscar for best supporting actress on March 12th.

5 Stephanie Hsu – “All at Once Everywhere”
If this category also falls on the side of “Everything at once everywhere,” a very real possibility, it will not be in favor of Stephanie Hsu. And that’s as surprising as it is, well, unfair, as we speak a heartbreaking and courageous performance, funny and sensitive, passionate and compelling. A terrific work that becomes particularly memorable in a last stretch where all of Hsu’s scenes have to be framed. One of those nominations that reconciles you with the Academy.

We are talking about a path to the Oscar where the label of favorite has passed through the hands of practically all the nominees without remaining fixed in any of them. We are therefore faced with a wonderful scenario in which it is impossible to bet strongly and fully on the triumph of any of these wonderful actresses who have undoubtedly offered award winning shows.
Will it be a recognition to the career of Angela Bassett or Jamie Lee Curtis? Have Stephanie Hsu and Hong Chau been in hiding all this time? Will Kerry Condon make good his Bafta by turning it into an Oscar? All these possibilities can come true in a ceremony that has one of its most anticipated moments in this category.
