Lily is definitely a lead.

 

Spoiler

The Scorsese cameo smartly frames the story as hers.

Gladstone would probably be an easy win in supporting, I do think she should be lead though even if that's going to be a much harder category, especially if Poor Things starts getting a lot of traction.

[Webslinger]

I saw it this afternoon and thought it was outstanding. The storytelling is riveting, the cast is loaded with great performances (Gladstone and De Niro being the highlights for me), and it feels overwhelming in all the best ways. In many ways, it feels like another later Scorsese triumph about on par with The Irishman - except that this one is actually widely available in theaters as it should be.

 

Personally, I didn’t have an issue with the run time. The narrative is so huge and sprawling that I felt like it earned that time, and I can’t imagine it being divided neatly into miniseries episodes and having the same impact.

She's very clearly a lead. And I think she will win.

 

Nothing about Poor Things excites me. Seems very weird.

De Niro's performance in this feels unlike anything else I've seen from him (radiates evil in an old man way I haven't seen from him) but at the same time, it reminded me of The Intern lol.

I don't know if anyone follows deveryjacobs on Instagram. She was one of the female leads in the show Reservation Dogs.

 

She just posted a seven Story indictment of Killers of the Flower Moon. I don't think this movie is going to get much, if any, love from Indigenous Americans outside of the Osage Nation.

Who do you think is going to finance the Scorseses next movie? Paramount was gonna do this for a while

honestly, it's pretty good but not top tier scorsese. Probably the least enamored i've been by one of his works since The Aviator.

Kinda felt the same way as well. Falls firmly into the "respect it more than I like it" category imo

She is a lead, but she will be oninated for Supporting because that is a sure fire win for her. Lead is more problematic.

Not the first time this has happened. Al Pacino has much more screent time in The GOdfather then Brando and in may ways Micheal is the lead chatecter more then Don Vito, but he still got a supporting nomination.

Yes, they will because it is a slam dunk for Gladstone. Lead is riskier.

Category fraud happens al the time.  But in that case it's because it was Brando.  They weren't going to have the newish guy go lead and Brando go supporting or put them both in Lead and cannibalize the vote.   There's no competition for her in her own film.

[CoolioD1]

They've already said in the trades that she'd be campaigned as a lead. I think that's how it'll stay because she is a lead imo and they want to make it look like they're putting the native voice at the forefront. If it wasn't for the strike she'd be the centre of their campaign.

[JustLurking]

She should and will be lead. I think her odds are still solid in this category anyway but she's not a lock like she'd be in supporting.

[mikeymichael]

Putting Lily forward as a Supporting Actress would be potentially be a huge PR mistake. 

[Valencia]

Lily will be lead.

 

You think they’re going to campaign on giving Native American’s a voice with this film from a white man’s perspective by a white man and sideline the only prominent Native American actor in it lol.

[Zakiyyah6]

Lily is going lead during the awards season. There's no grand mystery about that.

100% Apple. Especially if it brings in some awards next year. Box office is a bonus, this is a streaming movie.
