2021 Oscar Predictions - Actor: Leading and Supporting

We are now just one day away from the 93rd annual Academy Awards! It is without a doubt one of the most exciting days of the year for film lovers and one of the most exciting categories are the acting ones.

As with the female categories, the men are usually just as versatile, but I think their categories this year are more locked up than the female.

Here are the nominees for Best Actor in a Supporting Role:

Sacha Baron Cohen - "The Trial of the Chicago Seven," Daniel Kaluuya - "Judas and the Black Messiah," Leslie Odom Jr. - "One Night in Miami," Paul Raci - "Sound of Metal," Lakeith Stanfield - "Judas and the Black Messiah"

This one is Daniel Kaluuya's to lose. He's won all of the awards so far and will be the one going home with the Oscar tomorrow night. Congratulations, Daniel. You deserve it. I really don't see anyone upsetting here.

Leading nominations:

Riz Ahmed - "Sound of Metal," Chadwick Boseman - "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," Anthony Hopkins - "The Father," Gary Oldman - "Mank," Steven Yeun - "Minari"

The late Chadwick Boseman seems to be the front runner to win this one. He is winning all of the major awards and I feel like the Academy believes it is a great way to honor his legacy as he passed away from cancer last year.

I just hope they are giving it to him because he truly gave the best performance of all the nominees and not just as a way to honor his career. He wouldn't want that.

Anthony Hopkins is a close second and could upset as he's been winning his share of awards too for "The Father," but I think we'll see the award go to Boseman posthumously.

He will become just the fifth African-American to win the Best Actor award.

I will be listing my predictions for Best Director tomorrow and then Best Picture before the ceremony.

See you then!
