Best Actress Oscars 2022 Predictions & Contenders

“Father, son, and House of Gucci.” Will that now meme-worthy line help Lady Gaga back into Oscar’s good graces? She’s already won Best Original Song for “A Star is Born,” but lost out to “The Favourite’s” Olivia Colman for Best Actress.

Notably, unlike the other acting categories, Best Actress is slightly (and emphasis on slightly) less competitive. There will be worthy snubs, but will they go to former winners such as “The Tragedy of Macbeth’s” (and last year’s champion) Frances McDormand, “Respect’s” Jennifer Hudson, “Being the Ricardos'” Nicole Kidman. Or will “The Worst Person in the World’s” and Cannes winner Renate Reinsve and “CODA’s” Emila Jones join them on the outside looking in? [Updated Jan 3]
