88th Academy Awards News: Who Will Take Home an Oscar?
With the upcoming 88th Academy Awards soon approaching, fans are already casting their bets on who will be taking home an Oscar this year.
There have been many movies released within the span of 2015, which created a diverse competition between the nominations. Two of the most talked about categories are the best supporting actor and actress.
For best supporting actor, the nominations go to Christian Bale in "The Big Short," Tom Hardy in "The Revenant," Mark Ruffalo in "Spotlight," Mark Rylance in "Bridges of Spies," and Sylvester Stallone in "Creed." From this category, one of the predicted winners is Mark Rylance, who took on the role of a Soviet spy named Rudolf Abel in "Bridges of Spies." He was able to portray Spielberg's character with no dialogue at all.
However, there are other speculations that Sylvester Stallone could take home the Oscar. It was stated that Stallone remains a fan favorite. This could also be due to The Academy's biase toward the underdogs.
In the category of best supporting actress, the nominations go to Jennifer Jason Leigh in "The Hateful Eight," Rooney Mara in "Carol," Rachel McAdams in "Spotlight," Alicia Vikander in "The Danish Girl," and Kate Winslet in "Steve Jobs."
There are speculations that it will be Jennifer Jason Leigh who will win the category for her involvement in the Quentin Tarantino film. She took on the role of Daisy Domergue, who was the film's most despicable villain. However, it was also stated that Alicia Vikander could also be awarded best supporting role. This could be due to the fact that the category is often a presentation of the "best newcomer" award, which will make the Swedish actress a fit for the award.
However, fans will have to wait for Feb. 28 to see which among of their favorite movies, actors, and actresses will take home Oscars for the 88th annual Academy Awards.
