2026 Oscars best predictions of the support actress

Variety The award circuits section is the house of all reward news and related content throughout the year, featuring the following elements: the official predictions of the next Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards ceremonies, organized by Variety Clayton Davis, editor -in -chief of the seniors. The prediction pages reflect the current race classification and do not reflect personal preferences for an individual competitor. Like other formal (and informal) surveys suggest, competitions are fluid and subject to a change depending on buzz and events. The predictions are updated every Thursday.

Comment from the actress of the best supporters of the Oscars (update on September 12, 2025): Any actress who wants to win the category of the support actress, feels free. I have no idea who is the frontrunner.

Emily Blunt is Emily Blunt for “The Smashing Machine”, with the Drama A24 positioning it as a viable competitor coming after his name “Oppenheimer” (2023). Asine, Ariana Grande, was also in the mixture, Ariana Grande, whose performance that Glinda in “Wicked: For Good” continues to gain popularity, with more positive praise in circulation while the Musical Mastodon of Universal accumulates a momentum towards its version of November.

The category includes several veterans artists who seek to recognize. Believe it or not, Glenn Close could return to driving prices with “Wake Up Dead Man” from Netflix, the last episode of the “Knives Out” franchise. Gwyneth Paltrow appears as a potential competitor with “Marty Supreme” of the A24, marking his return to serious dramatic work after years focused on her lifestyle.

Warner Bros will surely have to juggle several candidates with Hailee Steinfeld and Wunmi Mosaku of “Sinners” and the Trio of Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti “One Battle after the others”. The studio plans aggressive campaigns in all categories of the Paul Thomas Anderson epic. And do not forget the previous bid of the Oscars, Amy Madigan, who has her ardent admirers of the “weapons” summer.

Jennifer Lopez has obtained her strongest criticisms for years in Sundance for “Kiss of the Spider Woman”, the musical adaptation of Bill Condon that Lionsgate and the roadside attractions will publish this fall.

And of course, two jokers remain: Emma Stone’s work in Focus presents “Bugonia” and the performance of Kate Hudson in “Song Sung Blue”, both faced with category investment decisions that could considerably reshape the race depending on whether the campaigns target lead or the care of supporting.

Any other supposition is a fair game.

Note: all the titles, exit dates, studios and category classifications listed are likely to change.
