In his last ever role, <em>Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom<\/em>, Boseman shines with charisma, command, and a sharp twinkle of defiance. He plays Levee Green, a zealous and bold trumpeter looking to break away from his role as a backing musician and secure his own record deal. Boseman\u2019s perseverance as Levee only serves as a bitter reminder that he will not be continuing to grace our screens in his own bright career.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s difficult to ignore other contenders in the category: specifically Riz Ahmed in <em>Sound of Metal<\/em> and Anthony Hopkins in <em>The Father<\/em>. As our well-deserved honorable mention, in <em>Sound of Metal<\/em>, Ahmed stunned audiences with his performance as Ruben, a recovering drug addict and professional drummer who unexpectedly goes deaf. Ahmed\u2019s performance is most powerful in its restraint. Ruben\u2019s calmness is unsettling. He reminds us of a volcano bubbling beneath a placid surface. But in a year-best performance, Hopkins gracefully contends with similar troubles. He plays Anthony in <em>The Father<\/em>: an elderly man slipping into the insidious depths of dementia. Hopkins balances control and unpredictability as a character who is losing his grasp on reality. His performance is largely physical. With just the flick of a wrist or a confused glance, he knows exactly how to make his audience burst into a fit of laughter or an ocean of tears. If 2020 had a more moving performance, I have yet to see it.

From her breakout role as reticent police chief Marge Gunderson in <em>Fargo<\/em>\u00a0to her Oscar-winning performance as the brusque Mildred Hayes in <em>Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em>, McDormand has never been afraid to take a risk. This year\u2019s <em>Nomadland<\/em>, in which she plays a woman named Fern who decides to take on the life of a nomad after struggling to find work, is no exception. From her ability to blend in on the campgrounds while surrounded by people played by actual nomads, to her willingness to participate in that bathroom scene, McDormand really proved her boldness in <em>Nomadland<\/em>\u00a0and has been getting all of the buzz as this year\u2019s fan favorite.<\/p>\n<p>But hidden away in the lead actress category are less discussed, yet just as \u2013 if not more \u2013 impressive performances. Namely Andra Day in <em>The United States vs. Billie Holiday<\/em>, and underdog Vanessa Kirby, who plays Martha in <em>Pieces of a Woman<\/em>, which follows a young woman recovering from a devastating stillbirth. Kirby\u2019s performance remains criminally underrated, as she took on one of the year\u2019s most challenging roles. The film begins with a thirty-minute, one-take shot of Martha\u2019s birth, (which should have earned director Korn\u00e9l Mundrucz\u00f3 a spot on the best director nominee list), and during the span of this time, Kirby seamlessly traverses the widest range of intense emotions: fear, pain, exhaustion, excitement, joy, grief. Perhaps most impressive, though, is the fact that Kirby manages to display that same terrain of inner turbulence on a lesser scale throughout the remainder of the film. Perhaps it is McDormand that people are excited about this year \u2013 but relative newcomer Kirby has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with and that she isn\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon.

Kaluuya has emerged as one of the most versatile actors of his generation and though he\u2019s still young, this win has already seemed to be a long time coming. Every year there\u2019s usually one major award that goes to the right person, and this will likely be the one.<\/p>\n<p>The only form of hesitance in guaranteeing this victory comes from Sacha Baron Cohen\u2019s performance in <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>. Seeing a comedic actor in a dramatic role is the kind of turn that always endears an actor to voters and it could work in Cohen\u2019s favor. With the Academy also nominating Lakeith Stanfield in the Supporting Actor category \u2014 as if the film didn\u2019t have a lead? \u2014 it\u2019s possible that voters who liked <em>Judas and the Black Messiah<\/em> could split their allegiances between the two actors, leaving Cohen with a path to victory.

Youn Yuh-jung has emerged as the frontrunner for her quietly devastating and impeccably lovable turn as the family matriarch in <em>Minari<\/em>. While the results of this category seemed rather up in the air for a while, her success at the SAG awards and the BAFTAs all but cements this well-deserved victory.<\/p>\n<p>Now as far as her source of competition in terms of who should win, Glenn Close\u2019s place in this conversation should not be what it is because she should have already won at least one Oscar. Her potential first Oscar should not be an award that many who have seen (and many more who haven\u2019t seen) <em>Hillbilly Elegy<\/em> will call nothing but a legacy win. She\u2019s certainly not the first actor to be in contention partially because of past defeats (notably, Leonardo Dicaprio\u2019s win came a few years after his career-best performance in <em>The Wolf of Wall Street<\/em>), but Close\u2019s repeated, decades-long history of snubs has become notorious. It\u2019s unfortunate that should she win this year or any year in the future, the achievement will be too easily spun as a consolation prize rather than a recognition of her immense talent. Legacy wins, much like category fraud wins, are one of those things that are not ideal, but they\u2019re going to happen regardless, and they might as well happen to the right people. Now, in all likelihood, Close will not take home the award this year, but there will be opportunities in the future. And anyway, a win in a leading actress category will be more reflective of the types of roles that have made Close one of our finest living performers.
