Actress in a Lead Role
Well, this was probably a lock before we were told there are only two genders, and someone decided to translate old Tweets from Spanish to English. I am pulling for the Portuguese speaker, but have a feeling it'll either be the young'un or the veteran longing to be young. I'm good either way!

Mikey Madison, Ani in Anora
-
She had a role in one of my favorite Tarantino movies, but really stole the show here. She is an impulsive stripper who finds "love" in an even more impulsive rich kid. For what it's worth, she has the support of the sex worker community.​

Cynthia Erivo, Elphaba in Wicked
-
She's really built for the boards, but she translates to the big screen brilliantly here. And not just because of the singing (which is stellar). We feel her pain and understand her reaction.​​

Karla Sofía Gascón, Emilia in Emilia Perez
-
I genuinely think her performance should stand apart from her ridiculous social media posts. I still listen to MJ (and I watched the documentary). Hell, I even rooted for Michael Vick -- only when he became an Eagle. We were hurtin', dude.

Demi Moore, Elisabeth in The Substance
-
This movie is unhinged. But Demi's performance really captures the pains of aging in a society obsessed with female youth. I think she's a lock since Karla Kancelled her Khances.

Fernanda Torres, Eunice Palva in I'm Still Here
-
A brilliant performance in a movie our non-reading (that's right, not even fucking subtitles) society ignored. Worth your time. I hope to see her again!​​​​

She's Racist
Just be patient, Karla, They'll forget. Look at me -- some of my best lawyers are Jews!
Can I come back now? Please?!?
