And this is all ignoring any backlash for Leo's campaign ads. Plus history has shown that wins in the supporting actress category have gone to child actresses. I just think the Academy will want to spread the wealth if they nominated True Grit for that many awards and think that supporting actor will suffice for The Fighter. Everyone thought Murphy would win along with Hudson in 2006, but even that didn't happen. Not since 1986 have supporting actor and supporting actress been won for the same movie (Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest for Hannah and Her Sisters). It also helps Steinfeld that True Grit cannot win any of the big six awards besides supporting actress. It is no accident that True Grit wound up with ten nominations (among them a surprise director nomination and a supporting actress nod for what is a leading role). I'm glad this topic is being brought up, because I think Steinfeld is going to pull off an upset at the Academy Awards. the SUPPORTING ACTOR Page is also updated Are you fond of these pairings? Do you think we'll have another (fictional) mother & son set on Sunday night? Thelma Ritter and Burt Lancaster in The Bird Man of Alcatraz (1962) - neither won Gladys Cooper and Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady (1964) - only the son Meryl Streep and Justin Henry in Kramer Vs. Mary Tyler Moore and Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People (1980) -only the son Jessica Tandy and Dan Ackroyd in Driving Miss Daisy (1989) - only the mom Kate Nelligan & Nick Nolte in The Prince of Tides (1991) - neither wonīrenda Ficker and Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot (1989) - WINNERS! Toni Collette and Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense (1999) - neither won Julianne Moore and Ed Harris in The Hours (2002) -neither won Melissa Leo and Christian Bale in The Fighter (2010) - we shall see Past 50 Years of Mother & Son Oscar Combos - wins? Ordinary People (1980) and My Left Foot (1989) But what of Mothers & Sons? It turns out there aren't very many of them that are ever nominated. I'm still leaning towards thinking that Leo is going to pull off the win, given that I think her competitors are probably too strong across the board to steal all the NOT LEO votes for themselves.īut while researching this category, I realized that if Bale and Leo both win for The Fighter, it'll be the first time since Holly Hunter & Anna Paquin in The Piano (1993) that actors playing immediate blood relatives have both won. It feels like a nailbiter as we just discussed on the podcast.
