Five great actresses are vying for first place this 2023. Oscar for best actress. There are many names on the list, from well-established Hollywood names to consolidated promises. Cate Blanchett (“TÁR”), Ana de Armas (“Blonde”), Andrea Riseborough (“To Leslie”), Michelle Yeoh (“Everything All At Once”) and Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”) for the figurine competing .
The pools are managed by Blanchett, who wanted to add a third. Oscar to his special ‘walk of fame’. The Australian actress weighs a lot, but Ana de Armas hopes to have options to win a Spanish-speaking award. Williams hopes to be glamorous for the fifth time, Yeoh wants to expand his idyll with American industry, and Riseborough wants to show that he’s earned applause on his own merits.
cate blanchett
One of the wonderful ladies of Hollywood again chose the precious statuette. She has now won two awards (with ‘The Aviator’ in 2005 and ‘Blue Jasmine’ in 2014) and has been nominated a total of eight times, including one in 2023. ‘TÁR’ was also nominated for best picture. , best directing, best original screenplay, best editing and best photography. I mean, it’s one of the best movies of the year. Blanchett has already won the Golden Globe and was named best actress of the year at the Venice Film Festival, where she started as a favourite.
Ana de Armas
The young man who became known on the small screen thanks to ‘El internado’ is gone. Although she may not seem like it, that young woman who shared the same scenes with Martiño Rivas, Blanca Suárez or Ion González is now Spain’s great hope in this edition of the Oscars. The Spanish-Cuban actress masterfully interpreted Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s controversial film ‘Blonde’ and revealed the most turbulent aspects of the artist’s life. While the feature film received as much praise as criticism, what no one questions about is Ana de Armas’ brilliant work. Not in pools, but that doesn’t mean it won’t surprise. She was also nominated for Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards.
Andrea Riseborough
His may be the most controversial nomination of this edition. Firstly, because the movie ‘To Leslie’, which earned him the nomination, was not well known to both critics and the public. So much so that his collection in theaters was insignificant (but 30,000 euros), far from the productions the Academy usually awards. But the campaign launched by his colleagues (Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet and others) took care of the rest. But where is the problem? Riseborough paid out-of-pocket for the ad campaign, something that for many is in direct conflict with the criteria set in the contest rules. And accusations of cheating multiplied. However, the academics did not back down and kept their candidacy.
michelle yeo
An old acquaintance from the academy. He has already triumphed in Hollywood with “Tomorrow Never Dies” and “Tiger and Dragon”. And this 2023 kicked off on the right foot thanks to ‘Everything at once everywhere’, for which she won the Golden Globe for best actress. This is just one example of what Yeoh represents in the United States: in 2022, ‘Time’ magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and previously, in 2008, the Rotten Tomatoes portal ranked him as the most influential action hero. . great of all time. He has also appeared in sequels to ‘Avatar’, ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ or ‘The Mummy’.
Michelle Williams
You don’t need much introduction. Career supports Michelle Williams: She has been nominated for an Oscar five times, but four times before (‘Brokeback Mountain’ in 2005, ‘Blue Valentine’ in 2010, ‘My Week with Marilyn’ in 2011 and 2016) for ‘Manchester by the Sea’) did not win. We’ll have to see what happens next March 12 to find out how his fifth nomination ends. He has had two Golden Globes, an Actors Guild award, and a critics’ award. Perhaps his role in ‘Los Fabelmans’ is the one that definitively crowned him before the Academy.
