I was down to the last one and got stumped like last time.

Update (): I finally pulled it off! A perfect 230/230 score, with four whole minutes to spare. However, new blood like Andra Day, Carrie Coon, Vanessa Kirby, Elisabeth Moss, and Jessie Buckley have potential to join the first-timers club this year in a field that's somewhat crowded with more familiar names. Who do we think gets added to this group come March? Frances McDormand, Viola Davis, Sophia Loren, Kate Winslet, Carey Mulligan, and Michelle Pfeiffer are all previous nominees, so nominations for any of them wouldn't affect this list. Perhaps this post will make me remember her next time I attempt it. The Carrie and Children of a Lesser God Supporting nominations are much more prominent in my mind for her.

I'm ashamed to admit that I've never seen The Hustler, a movie that I associate solely with Paul Newman, which is why I occasionally forget her in this quiz. In case the print is too small, the actress I forgot to include was Piper Laurie. Nothing like mixing a global pandemic, boundless procrastination, and an inclination towards insomnia to improve my Oscar trivia. 229 out of 230 actresses that have ever received a Best Actress nomination. So, as someone who has watched far fewer of the contenders than most compiling their predictions, here's how I could see the nominees going:įor years now, I've been trying to get a perfect score on this Sporcle Best Actress nominee quiz, and today was the closest I've ever come. That being said, I can't let my tradition of predicting the nominees die just because of my own shortcomings. Either way, I'm not nearly as informed as I normally would be. Blame it on the pandemic or personal life or my immersion in pre-2020 cinema. But let's just say I'm a hair less obsessive about it this year.

I'm obviously going to watch the nomination announcement tomorrow as I do every year, and I'm going to catch up with the nominees eventually. I've seen less than 50 movies that are eligible for this year's Oscar nominations, and this is likely to be the first year in a long time that I haven't watched all of the nominees from the above-the-line categories. What is there to say about this year's awards race? For my part, I have very little to say as I haven't been following it as closely as I have been for the last 15 years.

Minari is easily the highlight of this year's Oscar contenders.
