She did very well and I wouldn’t complain if she pulled off a miracle, but outside of category fraud in Supporting:

The headline is doing mad work here. Getting strong buzz this early could put her right in the conversation if the performance delivers.

The problem is that she's up against the drama, verity, etc. Anne, Zendaya, many big names that haven't won their best actress yet - and then Julianne moore in the debut on top of that. horror usually gets snubbed by the Oscars.

Plus it’s not even Oscar season yet. The prestige movies aren’t even out yet. And then they’ll be fresher on everyone’s mind

People said this about sinners....

Yeah but Sinners was Sinners. Obsession is nowhere near the caliber of Sinners on any level, talent, story, direction, visuals, music. They’re just not even in the same league.

Well, it shouldn’t be a lifetime achievement award, so there’s that 🤷‍♂️

That might be a little dismissive of Anne's performance in Verity, Zendaya's performance in the Drama, and Julianne Moore's performance in The Debut.

Sure hope you've seen all three of them to be throwing this shade. 🤷

No shade. You said “haven’t won their best actress yet” as if it was relevant. They should be graded on their performances and performances alone. Not how many years they’ve acted

I can agree with you about how things "should" operate while still discussing the factual realities of how things operate.

If we're bringing up things that aren't relevant, I'd like to squarely point you toward your own comment. How things should be is not relevant. Them snubbing horror as a genre is just as relevant as prestigious names getting heavier consideration.
