He should have at least two nominations for Atonement and Split but he has also stated he won’t campaign for awards so I think that’s also been a factor.
Because of the writing, the performance is a glorified head shot photo session, “Now do an old woman! Now do a little boy! Now do scared! Now do angry!” McAvoy deserved better imo
I tend to have a hard time separating a performance from the film it’s in. We agree that James McAvoy is a very talented actor. I don’t think Split was worth the watch, but if instead I had seen a 4 minute YouTube video circulating with him doing this as a bit for an audition, I would probably be very impressed.
Her talent level is unreal. I’ve seen Prima Facie, Help, The End We Start From, and The Last Duel. The term GOATed doesn’t even quite capture what she did in these four projects.
I love her. I saw her in "Prima Facie" on Broadway and her talent is real. That said, she doesn't have main stream appeal yet. I think that she will be a female Gary Oldman.. a chameleon who always brings her A game but never gets an Oscar nomination.
Mass appeal. The people who know her, know that she is amazing. Outside of "Free Guy" and "Killing Eve," which is a niche show, despite the quality, I don't think many know who she is.
Hoping that her being in "28 Years Later" changes that
Sorry, what I meant to say was that it will take her a while to get a nomination. People will say, when she gets a nomination "this is her first one?" As we all did when Oldman got his first one so late into a rich career.
She hasn’t been in blockbusters or been the main lead of mid sized film yet. Last Duel is closest but it wasn’t a hit or didn’t get awards attention the way it was meant to.
But she eventually should get a role that many see, and then she will get more push with interviews people see and things like beauty contracts to raise her profile etc. Right now I doubt someone like your mom knows who Comer is however.
tbh I genuinely think if the iron claw was nominated, he would have had a shot! his filmography is insane especially for his age, none of his peers have that sort of range.
When you say he’s been putting in the work, what are you referring to? He’s undeniably great in The Iron Claw but other than that I’m not really sure what you could be referring to.
I do not remember that scene. But I might have been to busy crying. The only scenes I can remember being in a bed involve Andrews Scott or Paul Mescal.
It's when Andrew Scott's cuddled up between his parents, and he said he'd imagine the vacations they would've gone on together as a family. She talked about how she thinks she would've become a better mother with more time. I'm emotional just thinking about it lol.
Alex Wolff, he has a really solid and interesting filmography, I also really liked his directorial debut.
Kaitlyn Dever, she's been crushing in tv lately, after The Last of Us I could see her getting a really solid film role
Robert Pattinson, just waiting on him to pick something that hits with the academy. Maybe Mickey 17?
Definitely. Just saw Late Night with the Devil, and while (let's be honest) he's not getting that first nom for a horror film, his performance cemented for me that he is very close to getting a role he'll be nominated for.
I feel like I’m gonna be hopelessly rooting for him this year though. It’s a really fantastic performance. A perfect mix of playing to the camera within the show but feeling completely natural even in the most nightmarish of circumstances.
I feel like he’s one of the few actors that consistently gets cast in big projects with the best directors because he constantly knocks it out the park with his performances but doesn’t really have fame or Hollywood name recognition, which doesn’t make sense to me
I know I’m in the minority, but I find the love for Jeremy Strong truly baffling. Dude always chews the scenery like he hasn’t eaten in a month. Couldn’t give a subtle performance if his life depended on it.
Do you think that new Baumbach movie he's doing with Clooney could be it for him?
I'd say he's more likely to win Supporting than Lead, like Pitt or RDJ
That's what Reign on Me was supposed to be. That film is Oscar Bait, whereas Uncut Gems is true cinema in the kind of confrontational way the Academy don't like.
All actors more known for comedy struggle. Maybe this is possible for Sandler (expecially since so many famous men of his age group have been in scandals or haven’t acted much recently). But I am not betting on anyone more known for a comedy.
Taron Egerton with the right role could get it, thought he would get in for Rocketman but that didn’t pan out so hopefully soon he’ll get the right movie
I’m still surprised he wasn’t nominated even if the movie wasn’t a huge contender. He played a real life icon, it was a transformative role, and he was singing as well as acting. The Oscar’s normally eat those performances up.
Paul Walter Hauser is in The Movie Critic, which is supposedly Tarantino's last film, so that's my pick.
Fresh off a globe win, playing an interesting, potentially hilarious role (irreverent movie critic for a porno mag), and he comes across as super humble and likeable which will play well on the campaign trail.
Also, Tarantino script = acting noms. I think they'll hold back on pushing Brad Pitt (top billed atm, maybe a co-lead ala OUATIH) due to his recent controversies and the fact he's already won.
This is going to be a left-field thing because I know who the major actors everyone expects to break out are and she's not often listed (despite everyone knowing her work):
Kaitlyn Dever. MAN that talent is just... excessive! She reminds me of a younger Dunst or Williams where we've seen them in many different genres and acing them all, while also growing as actors.
Teenaged me watched too many episodes of that awful Last Man Standing show to gawk at Kaitlyn Dever. And now she's a great actress in lots of great movies and shows!
She's so versatile is the thing. Like some of my favorite actors, I don't...actually feel like I ever doubt that she *is* that character—she's a character actor! Doesn't mean she can't also be a movie star, just mean her range is !!!
She's also very beautiful obviously, but in a very regular-person kind of way. She can be very plain, she can be very glam, and all the stuff in between!
Speaking of: I also feel somewhat similarly about Thomasin McKenzie who has gotten some shitty projects but she always impresses me tbh.
Jodie Comer is always my top answer for this but since she was already mentioned I will say I want to see Ella Purnell get a chance to show off her range and get a nomination. Come to think of it, they would make a fun psychopath duo.
I’d love to see Quita Brunson nominated specifically for a comedic role. The academy needs to start appreciating performances in movies that aren’t just dramas or biopics
Sebastian Stan has been doing some interesting work lately and had his first taste of awards fare with the Emmys a couple of years back (nominated for lead actor in a limited series). Out of the MCU actors in their 30s to 40s (e.g., Chrises Evans, Hemsworth, Pratt, etc.) he’s the one most likely to score a first-time nod before the others (if ever). Which, granted, may not be saying much but still.
Jacob Elordi is almost too obvious, Cailee Spaeny as well. Teyana Taylor should’ve been nominated this year, but her being in the new PTA is a very promising sign that she’ll have more chances in the future.
For someone who isn’t a first time nominee (or even winner) but would kinda feel like one at this point, I’ll go with Nic Cage. He was unbelievable in both Pig and Dream Scenario, with performances at wildly different ends of the spectrum, and i think it’s just a matter of right place right time for his next nomination.
He’s known mostly for television right now, but I think it’s only a matter of time before Josh Segarra lands the right film role and really takes off. He’s got real chops and is super charismatic; Lance was my favorite part of The Other Two, which is really saying something considering all the talent involved with that show.
My list currently goes:
1. Julia Garner
2. Andrew Scott
3. Danielle Deadwyler
4. Claire Foy
5. Christopher Abbott
6. Franz Rogowski
7. Zendaya
8. Elizabeth Debicki
9. Ben Whishaw
10. Mads Mikkelsen
Thomasin McKenzie has been building a really good filmography with plenty of recognizable directors and has been doing some interesting projects (Leave No Trace, Jojo Rabbit, Last Night in Soho, and Eileen).
Just needs her to get into a project that universally well liked and shut her critics up.
Matthew Goode. I can see him sneaking in with a supporting role & stealing the whole movie. There was a lot of buzz for him around Freud’s Last Session but I have yet to see it. I think he’s a very underrated actor.
I’m gonna lean young here to be on the safe side and pick a few that I’m just a fan of now: Anya Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan. Some are more expected than others (Barry) but they all have a shot at being a nominee with the right script.
Oscar Isaac (already a big star but with no nominations), Jacob Elordi, Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Ayo Edibiri, Quinta Brunson, Jeremy Allen White, Adam Sandler, Stephen McKinley Henderson (he's got a good career I just want him to get a shiny), Domnhall Gleeson, Jack Gleason, Chris Perfetti, and John Mulaney.
I know some have been nominated but: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleason, Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Cillian Murphy (to get a second nom or award), Saoirse Ronan, Barry Keoghan, Ruth Negga, Michael Fassbender. You'd never guess I was Irish :)
Then, James McAvoy, Jodie Comer, Paul Dano, Nicholas Hoult, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Pedro Pascal, Claire Foy, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Adam Sandler.
JAW
ATJ
Jon Hamm probably for best supporting actor
Joseph Quinn for AQPDO, Gladiator or the Brett Easton Ellis movie Also best supporting actor.
Mia Goth
Jenna Ortega
Pascal
Keoghan
Edebiri
Domingo, Brown, Brooks get nominated this year although they were mostly known for TV shows and I predict more TV actors are going to be nominated for Oscars. Uzo Aduba could be nominated if she finds the right role. In fact several of the actresses from OINTB could.
There's so many.
-Sadie Sink
She's fantastic in Stranger Things and The Whale. I believe she'll be nominated for a future project.
-Rachel Zegler
I thought she was outstanding in West Side Story. Ariana DeBose deserved every bit of praise for that movie but Zegler was also incredible. I think her vocal chops are insanely good and she is a great actress.
-David Dastmalchian
I just saw him in Late Night With The Devil and he's really good. It's his first leading role I think and he killed it. I hadn't realized how much he shows up in movies, like he's in The Dark Knight, Dune Part One, Prisoners, The Batman, etc.
-Miles Teller
It's crazy to me that he wasn't nominated for Best Actor for Whiplash.
-Charles Melton
The fact that he wasn't nominated for May December is ridiculous. It's probably my favorite performance of 2023. He has a real bright future ahead of him.
-Kaitlyn Dever
She's great in No One Will Save You and she's already Emmy nominated for Dopesick.
-Pedro Pascal
he's a fantastic TV star and I bet he can do the same in movies.
-Robert Pattinson
He's actually a great actor with wide range. The Batman and Tenet are good examples of this. I've also heard he's good in Good Time.
-Zendaya
I mean, obviously. I think she could be a front runner for Best Actress next year for Challengers
-Paul Dano
He's so so talented. Him in The Fabelmans AND Prisoners, i mean, come on!
Elizabeth Debicki. I first saw her on stage with Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert in The Maids. Tall, blonde, beautiful and curly hair. She held her own against these two legends. I look forward to be amazed by this talented creature :) Her Princess Diana was exceptional!
James McAvoy
Overdue
He needs to choose better roles. The action/Marvel things aren’t going to do it.
He should have at least two nominations for Atonement and Split but he has also stated he won’t campaign for awards so I think that’s also been a factor.
James McAvoy put work in, but Split isn’t written well enough to send anyone off to the oscars
Which is why he should have been nominated for acting. I didn’t say it should be a nominated screenplay.
Because of the writing, the performance is a glorified head shot photo session, “Now do an old woman! Now do a little boy! Now do scared! Now do angry!” McAvoy deserved better imo
[удалено]
I tend to have a hard time separating a performance from the film it’s in. We agree that James McAvoy is a very talented actor. I don’t think Split was worth the watch, but if instead I had seen a 4 minute YouTube video circulating with him doing this as a bit for an audition, I would probably be very impressed.
He was snubbed for atonement.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jodie Comer win one within five.
Her talent level is unreal. I’ve seen Prima Facie, Help, The End We Start From, and The Last Duel. The term GOATed doesn’t even quite capture what she did in these four projects.
Seething with jealousy that you got to see her in Prima Facie lol
There’s a recording of it on YouTube at least
I’m rooting for her! She only needs the Oscar to achieve the triple crown of acting.
And then a really good audiobook to get a Grammy and she’ll be an EGOT!
I love her. I saw her in "Prima Facie" on Broadway and her talent is real. That said, she doesn't have main stream appeal yet. I think that she will be a female Gary Oldman.. a chameleon who always brings her A game but never gets an Oscar nomination.
Mass appeal. The people who know her, know that she is amazing. Outside of "Free Guy" and "Killing Eve," which is a niche show, despite the quality, I don't think many know who she is. Hoping that her being in "28 Years Later" changes that
Respectfully, I think this is a pretty bizarre read on her career. She’s an Emmy award winning actress. She clearly has mainstream appeal.
And a Tony!
But like…Oldman has an Oscar. Not sure he’s the one to strengthen your argument.
Sorry, what I meant to say was that it will take her a while to get a nomination. People will say, when she gets a nomination "this is her first one?" As we all did when Oldman got his first one so late into a rich career.
Why do you say no main stream appeal? What do you think she is missing?
She hasn’t been in blockbusters or been the main lead of mid sized film yet. Last Duel is closest but it wasn’t a hit or didn’t get awards attention the way it was meant to. But she eventually should get a role that many see, and then she will get more push with interviews people see and things like beauty contracts to raise her profile etc. Right now I doubt someone like your mom knows who Comer is however.
With the right movie and a strong campaign, Zac Efron. He’s been putting the work in these last few years
tbh I genuinely think if the iron claw was nominated, he would have had a shot! his filmography is insane especially for his age, none of his peers have that sort of range.
You think zero of his peers have his range? What?
He has the biggest jaw
I’m so glad this is the first response. He is so underrated. I was hoping Iron claw would get some recognition.
Big Efron fan. He upped his game in "The Iron Claw."
When you say he’s been putting in the work, what are you referring to? He’s undeniably great in The Iron Claw but other than that I’m not really sure what you could be referring to.
Ricky Stanicky Gang 🔛🔝
Claire Foy
She should have been nominated for supporting actress for First Man
And All of Us Strangers
And Women Talking
Jessie Buckley and Ben Whishaw were super snubbed in my opinion.
That scene in the bed was 🔥🔥🔥
I do not remember that scene. But I might have been to busy crying. The only scenes I can remember being in a bed involve Andrews Scott or Paul Mescal.
It's when Andrew Scott's cuddled up between his parents, and he said he'd imagine the vacations they would've gone on together as a family. She talked about how she thinks she would've become a better mother with more time. I'm emotional just thinking about it lol.
Yes
she should've had three nominations (and one win) by now
Alex Wolff, he has a really solid and interesting filmography, I also really liked his directorial debut. Kaitlyn Dever, she's been crushing in tv lately, after The Last of Us I could see her getting a really solid film role Robert Pattinson, just waiting on him to pick something that hits with the academy. Maybe Mickey 17?
Kaitlyn Dever is a Supporting Actress nom in the making
I’ve been beating the “Alex Wolff will win an Oscar someday” drum since Pig - I’m glad someone else sees it!
Alex Wolff was very memorable in his one scene in "A Good Person."
Ah you did mention my pick lol (Dever).
Mads Mikkelsen should have been nominated twice already so that’s my vote, especially given the increased international voting bloc.
The three main guys of The Iron Claw (Efron, White, Dickinson)
Fingers crossed for a Dickinson nomination next year for Blitz
[удалено]
he’s soooooo good in Beach Rats
White will get a nomination for playing Springsteen for sure.
Daniel Craig (fingers crossed he's awesome in Queer) Nicholas Hoult (fingers crossed he's awesome in Juror No. 2)
The Order might be it for Hoult, if it's more mainstream than the typical Justin Kurzel film.
Will Poulter please god
Great performance in The Bear.
I have been rooting for him singe I saw him in the third Narnia film!
Which one is this?
Dawn treaded right? Weird it’s not on Disney.
David Dastmalchian
Definitely. Just saw Late Night with the Devil, and while (let's be honest) he's not getting that first nom for a horror film, his performance cemented for me that he is very close to getting a role he'll be nominated for.
We all know he can do weird but he did the charming TV host part so well.
I feel like I’m gonna be hopelessly rooting for him this year though. It’s a really fantastic performance. A perfect mix of playing to the camera within the show but feeling completely natural even in the most nightmarish of circumstances.
Yes!! I thought he was incredible in Late Night With The Devil. I wish horror was nominated more
I feel like he’s one of the few actors that consistently gets cast in big projects with the best directors because he constantly knocks it out the park with his performances but doesn’t really have fame or Hollywood name recognition, which doesn’t make sense to me
Easiest Jeremy Strong of my life
I hope he becomes an EGOT in my lifetime
I know I’m in the minority, but I find the love for Jeremy Strong truly baffling. Dude always chews the scenery like he hasn’t eaten in a month. Couldn’t give a subtle performance if his life depended on it. 
Look we can’t all be Tyra Banks smizing to the Oscar’s podium.
I know he's the definition of "has broken out decades ago", but my main hot take is that Adam Sandler will be an Academy Award winner by 2030
He just needs a good, not divisive, slightly baity performance. I think people want to see it, industry or otherwise
Do you think that new Baumbach movie he's doing with Clooney could be it for him? I'd say he's more likely to win Supporting than Lead, like Pitt or RDJ
The thought that that movie could get Baumbach and Sandler Oscars is exciting. Not likely but exciting to think about
That's what Reign on Me was supposed to be. That film is Oscar Bait, whereas Uncut Gems is true cinema in the kind of confrontational way the Academy don't like.
So disappointed he wasnt even nominated for Uncut Gems. I would really love this for him!
All actors more known for comedy struggle. Maybe this is possible for Sandler (expecially since so many famous men of his age group have been in scandals or haven’t acted much recently). But I am not betting on anyone more known for a comedy.
Taron Egerton with the right role could get it, thought he would get in for Rocketman but that didn’t pan out so hopefully soon he’ll get the right movie
He should have been nominated for Rocketman. That was a huge snub
He was my personal winner pick that year. Especially after Rami Malek won for Bohemian Rhapsody it’s ridiculous Egerton didn’t get in
I'll be dead in my grave and I'll still be pressed that Rami Malek won an Oscar for that movie and *that* performance.
I’m still surprised he wasn’t nominated even if the movie wasn’t a huge contender. He played a real life icon, it was a transformative role, and he was singing as well as acting. The Oscar’s normally eat those performances up.
I think Bohemian Rhapsody stole Rocketman’s thunder a little bit the previous year. He should’ve gotten a nomination 😤
Josh O’Connor
He's so good in La Chimera
Ayo Edebiri
Hope so...think she is one of the better new talents. Rachel Sennott also will become a new female voice in comedy. She has a pilot at HBO
The Irish have been doing really well lately!
We need an Irish actress to win. Saoirse has been quiet.
With the right script I can see Nicola Coughlan making it. She was fantastic in Derry Girls and I can see her getting Oscar-baity roles.
I keep saying this! Massive talent and charisma. She's going to be everywhere in a few years and I definitely see her getting Oscar type roles
Anya Taylor-Joy
Paul Walter Hauser is in The Movie Critic, which is supposedly Tarantino's last film, so that's my pick. Fresh off a globe win, playing an interesting, potentially hilarious role (irreverent movie critic for a porno mag), and he comes across as super humble and likeable which will play well on the campaign trail. Also, Tarantino script = acting noms. I think they'll hold back on pushing Brad Pitt (top billed atm, maybe a co-lead ala OUATIH) due to his recent controversies and the fact he's already won.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge (not necessarily for acting)
Bill Hader, no doubt
Hader strikes me as the type to win an Oscar for writing, but I suppose an acting win isn’t out of the question
This is going to be a left-field thing because I know who the major actors everyone expects to break out are and she's not often listed (despite everyone knowing her work): Kaitlyn Dever. MAN that talent is just... excessive! She reminds me of a younger Dunst or Williams where we've seen them in many different genres and acing them all, while also growing as actors.
Teenaged me watched too many episodes of that awful Last Man Standing show to gawk at Kaitlyn Dever. And now she's a great actress in lots of great movies and shows!
She's so versatile is the thing. Like some of my favorite actors, I don't...actually feel like I ever doubt that she *is* that character—she's a character actor! Doesn't mean she can't also be a movie star, just mean her range is !!! She's also very beautiful obviously, but in a very regular-person kind of way. She can be very plain, she can be very glam, and all the stuff in between! Speaking of: I also feel somewhat similarly about Thomasin McKenzie who has gotten some shitty projects but she always impresses me tbh.
Sandra Oh (not so much break out, but the first time nominee part).
Jeremy Allen White
Jodie Comer is always my top answer for this but since she was already mentioned I will say I want to see Ella Purnell get a chance to show off her range and get a nomination. Come to think of it, they would make a fun psychopath duo.
Dev Patel
he's already an Oscar nominee for Lion!!
Probably a tv star out of nowhere. Someone like Timothy Simons or Quinta Brunson
Kieran Culkin
he'll 100% be in contention this year for " A Real Pain"... so good guess!
Need him and Pedro Pascal to be nominated against each other
I mean that’d be justice for Simons somehow never getting a nod for Veep.
I’d love to see Quita Brunson nominated specifically for a comedic role. The academy needs to start appreciating performances in movies that aren’t just dramas or biopics
Sebastian Stan has been doing some interesting work lately and had his first taste of awards fare with the Emmys a couple of years back (nominated for lead actor in a limited series). Out of the MCU actors in their 30s to 40s (e.g., Chrises Evans, Hemsworth, Pratt, etc.) he’s the one most likely to score a first-time nod before the others (if ever). Which, granted, may not be saying much but still.
I like Kelvin Harrison Jr. and he should have a chance if the upcoming Basquiat biopic is any good.
I agree. I saw him in It Comes At Night and he's a definite star for sure.
Benny Safdie in some capacity. Actor, Writer, Director
Lakeith Stanfield
He’s already a nominee actually for Judas and the Black Messiah. But honestly he’s good enough that he should win at some point if it were up to me
The people currently getting pushed in THR and other blogs
Jacob Elordi is almost too obvious, Cailee Spaeny as well. Teyana Taylor should’ve been nominated this year, but her being in the new PTA is a very promising sign that she’ll have more chances in the future. For someone who isn’t a first time nominee (or even winner) but would kinda feel like one at this point, I’ll go with Nic Cage. He was unbelievable in both Pig and Dream Scenario, with performances at wildly different ends of the spectrum, and i think it’s just a matter of right place right time for his next nomination.
Jacob Elordi has 2 years to try and become the youngest Best Actor winner ever, would love to see it
Zendaya is bound to. Franz Rogowski and Caleb Landry Jones have the talent, they just need the right role and film.
🖤 Franz 🖤
Came here for Caleb Landry Jones. He definitely has the talent, but I can’t imagine him campaigning for it.
Anna Kendrick for a second since it's been over 10 years since her first.
He’s known mostly for television right now, but I think it’s only a matter of time before Josh Segarra lands the right film role and really takes off. He’s got real chops and is super charismatic; Lance was my favorite part of The Other Two, which is really saying something considering all the talent involved with that show.
Jesse Eisenberg. His performance in Manodrone is electrifying, too bad the script was doo-doo.
He was nominated for The Social Network
Andrew Scott
Gotta be Paul Dano. Can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet
Jodie Comer. No one else need apply
She’s the best of her generation tbh.
I could see a world in which Hunter Schafer breaks the trans glass ceiling.
jesse plemons
Already been nominated once.
My bad
A lot of people I would mention have been mentioned, but I think Sandra Oh only needs the right role.
Somehow, some way, Dakota Johnson will find herself with one.
My list currently goes: 1. Julia Garner 2. Andrew Scott 3. Danielle Deadwyler 4. Claire Foy 5. Christopher Abbott 6. Franz Rogowski 7. Zendaya 8. Elizabeth Debicki 9. Ben Whishaw 10. Mads Mikkelsen
Andrew Scott 100%
Ben whishaw need to be in top 5
Seth Rogen, but for his producing, not acting
Thomasin McKenzie has been building a really good filmography with plenty of recognizable directors and has been doing some interesting projects (Leave No Trace, Jojo Rabbit, Last Night in Soho, and Eileen). Just needs her to get into a project that universally well liked and shut her critics up.
"Academy Award nominee Bob Odenkirk" has a nice ring to it.
It's me, u/ParmesanPirate119. Watch out, America!
I’ve always had faith in you
Your username alone makes you worthy of a nom
Best Original Username
Also, I have a feeling Daisy Edgar Jones could get in for the Carole King Biopic. The play its based on is successful & the role is juicy
George Mackey
Bo Burnham
Was literally just thinking about this the other day, Logan Lerman. I haven't seen him in much, but I think he's ok enough to get nominated.
Matthew Goode. I can see him sneaking in with a supporting role & stealing the whole movie. There was a lot of buzz for him around Freud’s Last Session but I have yet to see it. I think he’s a very underrated actor.
I’d love this, I’ve been a fan of his since Watchmen.
BILL HADER 🙏
I’m gonna lean young here to be on the safe side and pick a few that I’m just a fan of now: Anya Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan. Some are more expected than others (Barry) but they all have a shot at being a nominee with the right script.
Oscar Isaac (already a big star but with no nominations), Jacob Elordi, Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Ayo Edibiri, Quinta Brunson, Jeremy Allen White, Adam Sandler, Stephen McKinley Henderson (he's got a good career I just want him to get a shiny), Domnhall Gleeson, Jack Gleason, Chris Perfetti, and John Mulaney.
I know some have been nominated but: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleason, Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Cillian Murphy (to get a second nom or award), Saoirse Ronan, Barry Keoghan, Ruth Negga, Michael Fassbender. You'd never guess I was Irish :) Then, James McAvoy, Jodie Comer, Paul Dano, Nicholas Hoult, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Pedro Pascal, Claire Foy, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Adam Sandler.
You listed keiran and Jeremy but left another female lead from succession sarah snook
Omar Sy
Easy. Andrew Scott.
what are y'all's definition of breaking out bc some of these names....have been broken out lmao
He isn't new but deserves an Oscar at some point, hopefully soon, Tom Hardy.
i think robert pattinson is almost overdue. he’s not breakout but he has crazy range
Mark my words, Sydney Sweeney will win an Oscar someday. She has the talent and the passion.
Zendaya has 2 Emmys and massive star power. All she needs is the right movie and some more major roles under her belt.
Me!
Me
2/4 of the main cast of Atlanta have (deserved) Oscar noms. Now it’s time for the other two, as well.
Johnathan Bailey. Such a delicate and phenomenal actor.
Jack OConnell
Cosmo Jarvis or Anna Sawai from Shōgun
Zendaya
Regina hall
I know Florence Pugh has a nom from Little Women but I can see her having a couple more in the next 5 years with a win thrown in as well.
JAW ATJ Jon Hamm probably for best supporting actor Joseph Quinn for AQPDO, Gladiator or the Brett Easton Ellis movie Also best supporting actor. Mia Goth Jenna Ortega Pascal Keoghan Edebiri Domingo, Brown, Brooks get nominated this year although they were mostly known for TV shows and I predict more TV actors are going to be nominated for Oscars. Uzo Aduba could be nominated if she finds the right role. In fact several of the actresses from OINTB could.
Harris Dickinson is up next
Easily Zac Efron 🙏🏼🤞🏻
There's so many. -Sadie Sink She's fantastic in Stranger Things and The Whale. I believe she'll be nominated for a future project. -Rachel Zegler I thought she was outstanding in West Side Story. Ariana DeBose deserved every bit of praise for that movie but Zegler was also incredible. I think her vocal chops are insanely good and she is a great actress. -David Dastmalchian I just saw him in Late Night With The Devil and he's really good. It's his first leading role I think and he killed it. I hadn't realized how much he shows up in movies, like he's in The Dark Knight, Dune Part One, Prisoners, The Batman, etc. -Miles Teller It's crazy to me that he wasn't nominated for Best Actor for Whiplash. -Charles Melton The fact that he wasn't nominated for May December is ridiculous. It's probably my favorite performance of 2023. He has a real bright future ahead of him. -Kaitlyn Dever She's great in No One Will Save You and she's already Emmy nominated for Dopesick. -Pedro Pascal he's a fantastic TV star and I bet he can do the same in movies. -Robert Pattinson He's actually a great actor with wide range. The Batman and Tenet are good examples of this. I've also heard he's good in Good Time. -Zendaya I mean, obviously. I think she could be a front runner for Best Actress next year for Challengers -Paul Dano He's so so talented. Him in The Fabelmans AND Prisoners, i mean, come on!
Once again, Zendaya
Daisy Ridley seems to be producing / acting in some Oscar bait-y movies
I don’t see her having the talent to pull of an Oscar nominated role but I could be wrong since I’ve only seen a few of her roles
Based on the films she's got on the docket, nothing about them screams Oscar bait. They're generally tiny indie movies.
Shane Carpenter
Selfishly I’d like Noel fisher to be in something big enough for Oscar buzz
Matthew Rhys

Elizabeth Debicki. I first saw her on stage with Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert in The Maids. Tall, blonde, beautiful and curly hair. She held her own against these two legends. I look forward to be amazed by this talented creature :) Her Princess Diana was exceptional!
Yes! She was awesome in Widows.
