Kate Winslet and Alicia Vikander are duking it out for Best Supporting Actress

With less than a full week now until the Academy Awards, we’re continuing to focus in on a few of the races that might still be up in the air. In terms of the big eight (minus Best Picture, which I’ll tackle in a few days), the only category up for any real amount of debate is Best Supporting Actress, where the case can be made that Kate Winslet in Steve Jobs is sneaking up on Alicia Vikander in The Danish Girl. Can Winslet wind up pulling the upset on Vikander at the last moment? Let’s discuss it a bit now and see if we can figure that out… Best Supporting Actress has been a weird category all season long.

Her film seems to be slightly more preferred to Winslet’s, while it also engages the heart more. This does set her up nicely to be the frontrunner, though I’ll concede that it doesn’t make her an unbeatable one. If you’re a betting man or woman, I’d bet on Vikander, but she’s not in an invincible position, not by a long shot. She is, however, the prohibitive frontrunner. The case for Winslet is slightly more flighty, if that makes sense. It puts a ton of credence onto the BAFTA and Golden Globe wins for her, though they came when she wasn’t up against Vikander. That’s what gives me the real pause. If not for that, I’d look for the highly regarded and well [...]
