Oscar Predictions: Best Supporting Actress — Will ‘Wicked’ Make Ariana Grande ‘Popular’ Enough for Her First Nomination?’
2025 Oscars best supporting actress predictions include Lady Gaga, Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Danielle Deadwyler and Saoirse Ronan.
Initially played by Kristen Chenoweth on Broadway, who was nominated for a Tony alongside Idina Menzel (who won for her role) in lead actress in a musical, Grande might opt to campaign separately from her co-star, Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, improving both their chances. There are also opportunities for beloved and overdue veterans and newcomers, such as Danielle Deadwyler (“The Piano Lesson”), Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (“Nickel Boys”), Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”), and Carol Kane (“Between Two Temples”), along with former winners Tilda Swinton (“The Room Next Door”) and Michelle Yeoh (“Wicked”). Large ensemble casts might also produce contenders, with films like “His Three Daughters” (Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Olsen), “SNL: 1975” (Rachel Sennott, Ella Hunt, Emily Fairn, Kim Matula), and “Blitz” (Saoirse Ronan, Erin Kellyman, Kathy Burke, Hayley Squires) possibly seeing individual standout performances catching voters’ attention.
