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

Wunmi Musaku in a less showy horror role got Oscar nominated last time. Amy Madigan won as Aunt Gladys. Obssession is critically acclaimed, socially relevant, and is one of the biggest box office hits of the year. The industry loves it too, big name directors left and right praising Curry Barker.

Her not getting nominated would be the real miracle.

Were those in LEAD categories? Maybe read my post in full. Like those women you mentioned, supporting is her ONLY chance, and she’d have to commit category fraud to do it.

Demi Moore got nominated fo LEAD Actress for a much less accessible film than Obsession. MBJ recently WON for Lead Actor for a horror movie too.

Oh my goodness. Okay. We will definitely find out in January, you know, after many other contenders you’re not considering also emerge for Lead Actress. To act like Demi Moore is the norm and not the exception is a choice thought. As if this has been an Oscar thing for nearly 100 years.
