Oscars 2024: Best Supporting Actor Predictions - For Your Consideration 

I love the dynamic between these three. The fact that they can disagree so much makes it more interesting

Jeff is hilarious 😆 i love how playfully "offended" he was at Mantz + Perri having Gosling as their #1 had me rollin

Agree with Jeff here... This feels like last year when Mantz and Jeff thought Top Gun Maverick was the front-runner to win

Honestly Robert Downey Jr is my favorite actor of all time, and I would love to see him win this award, but I honestly wouldn’t be too upset if Ryan Gosling won either since his work in Barbie was so well done!

I really can't wait for this Barbie bubble to burst. No disrespect to the film, I liked it quite a bit. But I think Scott and Perry are both a little hypnotized, thinking this is going to take off like EEAAO did last year. This isn't the same thing. The fact that they think Barbie is a serious contender to win best picture or that they think Margot is a lock for a nomination or that Gosling should be considered the front runner. Their wake up call is coming. Typically I find Jeff to be the delusional one, but in this case I'm on his side.

My Top 5 Supporting Actors are as follows with HM's 1:Robert Downey Jr.-Oppenheimer 2:Robert DeNiro- Kollers of the Flower Moon 3:Mark Ruffalo- Poor Things 4:Ryan Gostling- Barbie 5:Willem DaFoe- Poor Things HM's:Dominc Sessa-The Holdovers, Charles Melton- May December, Colman Domingo- The Color Purple, Sterling K Brown- American Fiction, Dar Salim- Guy Richies The Covenant, John Magaro- Past Lives, Jacob Elordi- Priscilla/Saltburn

RRR is finally getting nominated! Lol. RRR for Robert Downey Jr., Robert DeNiro, and Ryan Gosling.

Ken’s gonna win. His performance was Kenough.

No way is Ryan Gosling winning the Oscar for "Barbie!" NO WAY!!!!

Brian Tyree Henry got an Oscar nom for Causeway last year without being nominated at SAG, BAFTA, Globes. Such a pleasant surprise. I can see that path with Glenn Howerton.

Perri saying “Oy Vey” at Jeff’s response to Gosling 😂😂

Thank you all for the great content and commentary; hurray for the end of the strike 🎉

I'm with Jeff, RDJ is clearly the front runner going into the awards season 💯😆

Love that Mantz is defending Howerton! I think he’s got a real shot to get a nomination.

11:12 DeNiro wasn't nominated for acting in The Irishman

I agree with Jeff that Robert Downey Jr is the clear front runner with Oppenheimer, but completely disagree that his performance in Barbie as Ken will not be considered as one of Gosling’s best, or if it cheapens the film. And it would be pretty surprising and thrilling and quite a moment if Gosling does win for playing Kenough! Haha

It’s Downey’s and it’s a wrap

Another amazing episode! I love you guys! I think RDJ has it in the bag, but I would love to see Melton and Sessa get a nomination 😊

Right now I have; 1) Robert Downey Jr. 2) Ryan Gosling 3) Robert De Niro 4) Mark Ruffalo 5) Charles Melton I can see a world where Willem Dafoe gets in & Poor Things gets a double nomination as a result, maybe Dominic Sessa but the competition might be a tad tough, I’d love John Magaro from Past Lives to get in coz he was phenomenal but that’ll never happen

I love Jeff’s contrarian attitude about Gosling. He’s more Gene Siskel. Perri and Scott are more Roger Ebert lol. Perri and Scott have a point. Gosling is the best part of Barbie. They lose me when they equate great acting with box office success and critical acclaim. And that’s where I agree with Jeff. The academy doesn’t always think that way. They whipsaw us sometimes and go their own way. If Downey starts winning the precursors, I’m going with Gosling at the Oscars. If Gosling wins the precursors, then I’ll go with Downey at the Oscars. Like Eddie Murphy vs. Alan Arkin in 2006 or Lauren Bacall and Juliette Binoche in 1996. That said, Jeff is being a little dismissive comedic performances winning in the supporting category. It’s actually not as rare as he’s making it out to be. But I agree with them that as of today (11/10/23) it is a two-horse race.

The thought of Ryan Gosling winning for a broad comedic performance is not without precedent, Jeff. Remember Kevin Kline and Marisa Tomei. It does not happen often in supporting actor, though.

My current GoldDerby predictions (as of 11.11.23): 5. Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) 4. Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon) 3. Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things) 2. Ryan Gosling (Barbie) 1. Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) #AnOscarforDowney les goooooooo I feel very confident about my top 5 getting nominated but the 5 spot is a crapshoot. Charles Melton (May December) and Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction) are quite close behind, and I'm not ruling out the double Poor Things nomination with Willem Dafoe. John Magaro (Past Lives) is starting to feel like this year's Ben Whishaw. I'm not believing in Colman Domingo (The Color Purple), Glenn Howerton (BlackBerry) and any of the other Oppenheimer guys (though I'd vote for Benny Safdie if I was in the Academy).

Downey is way overdue to win and he deserved Oscar for iron man. So I think Jeff is right. The Academy will want to reward this veteran titan. Gosling will be the respectable comedic nod.

I just love the dynamics of this group conversation. ❤❤❤

Love you guys! My biggest issue with putting Gosling at 1 is that the academy never awards comedic performances. He’s my personal favourite supporting performance of the year but it’s just hard to see the academy really getting behind him (to win). I’d love to see RDJ win so I won’t be too upset either way. And yessss Mantz with Glen Howerton, I would be soooooo happy if this happened 😭😭😭

1.RDJ 2.Ryan gosling 3.Bobby de Niro 4.Mark rufallo 5.willem daffoe

People may criticize the last third of Oppenheimer, but I’ve seen much more dissent on the last act of Barbie where its social message becomes pretty clunky and a little hokey. I think people love the “fun” parts of Barbie and some the more directly “serious” stuff toward the end too obvious for its own good. I loved both films, but I definitely enjoyed Oppenheimer more front to back and as the months have gone on that movie has only grown in power for me where as Barbie was good but mostly just…cute.

Love this show, i would watch a new video every day. But at least this will be a sure thing every week for months. Dynamic between the 3 is awesome and i love how Jeff challenges the group

I can't wait until they make final predictions of who will actually win best supporting actor. I sense a bet coming at that time if Perri or Scott pick Gosling to win!

Im with Jeff on this one. I think Scott and Perri are faboying/girling.

My picks: Robert Downey Jr. - Oppenheimer Ryan Gosling - Barbie Robert Deniro - Killers of the Flower Moon Glen Howerton - Blackberry Jaime Bell - All of Us Strangers Willem Dafoe - Poor Things

People forget that Willem Dafoe has been nominated for films that not a lot of people saw or liked which means that with Poor Things he would definitely get in!

Mantz sometimes feels like he talks himself into loving some of these movies

Jeff is such a verbal power top

The strike is over! Now let’s hand out some Primetime Emmys, Daytime Emmys, Golden Globes, Oscars, and SAGs!!!

lmao gotta say i agree with Jeff that there’s no way they give Gosling the oscar over Downey Jr. BUT i do think the Goz is a lock for a nom

Great show.

To my recollection Robert De Niro was not nominated for the Irishman…

Oppenheimer made almost $1B. So picking Gosling due to BO is a wash.

1. Downey Jr. 2. De Niro 3. Gosling 4. Ruffalo 5. Dafoe 6. Sessa 7. Melton 8. Brown 9. Domingo 10. Damon BTW, De Niro did not get a nom for The Irishman.

I think Ryan Gosling have more chance winning best songs than best supporting actor.

I would love a surprise John Magaro nomination, but that's because Past Lives is still my #1 film of the year.

I haven't seen "Poor Things," or "American Fiction" so I can't judge your lists. But I think y'all missed the boat on Milo Machado-Graner! A haunting, memorable performance. Will he win? Probably not with RDJ being a lock IMO. But Milo certainly deserves serious consideration. And I agree with Jeff that comedic performances rarely win, consequently Ryan has little chance.

Milo Machado Graner gave my favorite supporting performance of the year, but I don't see the Academy going for it.

Gosling epitomizes the cultural juggernaut that is Barbie, and will be rewarded thusly.

Downey, Gosling, Ruffalo, Domingo for the color purple, and Dominic Sessa . Honorable mention Deniro for Flowers, Chris Messina for Air, Alden Ehrenreich-Oppenheimer, -Peter Saarsgard & Jacob Elordi for Saltburn.

I kinda agree with Jeff in this sense. Look at Best Supporting categories in the past. They’ve mostly went to legends in Hollywood that have an underdog story because they’ve never won an Oscar. Look at Jamie Lee Curtis, Laura Dern, Brad Pitt, Key Hu Quan, etc. they always have a narrative when it comes to that story and RDJ fits the narrative the most because he’s a two time Oscar nominee and has been in the industry for even longer then Ryan Gosling but has never been awarded for his work. The “it’s their time” narrative is what I call it and that will apply with RDJ.

What about the kid from The Holdovers. That was the best performance of the year in my opinion. All the other guys their roles were just par for the course. Basically. But that kid gave a star making performance and goes toe to toe with veteran Paul Giamatti!

Ryan is an amazing actor and is my favourite to win the Oscar but I just think that Robert Downey was superb in Oppenheimer and will take the staue this year.

having gosling over RDJ is wild 😂 the best supporting performance overall this year is without question De Niro, but RDJ is the only person that has an actual chance to take it.

I don't really understand this debate. Yes, Gosling was talked about, but nothing close to how much conversation that RDJ got with Oppenheimer.

It’s Robert Downey Jr’s time.

Gosling was great in the film but let's not lose our heads. I believe Scott and Perri (smart) are a bit emotional and not objective. It's like they want it to happen so bad ordinary judgment is clouded.

is this one of the best supporting actor lineup top 5/6 of all time? Can't remember another supporting actor year that was this stacked with great performances

Jeff made Perri so sad at 5:31 T. T Then made her happy again at 15:45 lol

Gosling at no. 1 is crazy indeed. Just no.

Never mind the movie's subjects.After almost two years in lock down, with dire news dominating television, people are ready for a bright, bouncy, funny, colorful evening at the theater. Oppenheimer may very well be the more "important" film, but a lot can be said for being the right picture at the right time. Barbie is the right movie at the right moment and Gosling is going to be one of its beneficiaries. By the way, love your show!.

Don’t worry Jeff I have you’re back, when I saw Oppenheimer I came out thinking RDJ has got to win that Oscar, Ryan Gosling is amazing and he stole the show in Barbie, It might go down to who has the better narrative and will they go for Drama or Comedy.

Agree with Jeff that so far Robert Downey Jr. has been pegged the favorite/one to beat by a lot of pundits. Think Jeff is on point on this one.

I'm with Mantz! Glenn Howerton for the win!

So yeah Jeff is correct here 111%

I would love so much if Howerton got in. He’s remarkable in the movie, and has been so good in IASIP for years with no recognition for playing one of the craziest characters on tv. Now that the strike is over i really hope he’s able to campaign and get his name out there.

I personally think Ryan deserves the nom definitely, but I don't think he ends up winning this. I think Robert Downey Jr will battle it out with a few late sparks like Ruffalo or even De Niro. I still believe Killers of The Flower Moon has win potential after seeing the movie, it is the kind of movie that can peak at the right moment. I never got on the Barbie train, it is a very significant and important movie and Ryan Gosling is terrific(its not just comedic, its very layered), but I see Barbie as a movie that gets a lot of noms, and maybe wins Adapted Screenplay, and it will definitely get a boost with the actors strike ending. But I don't see the wins! I don't think it needs any wins though, the movie is a cultural phenomenon regardless.

I know it’s a while ago but can I remind you about Kevin Kline winning for A Fish Called Wanda? Gosling’s performance has the same vibes. I’m old enough to remember EVERYBODY walking out of Wanda talking about Kline stealing the film.

Loved Oppenheimer but not sure RDJ should get a nomination for simply not being iron man

I feel that, if there is one silent disruptor of this category, is Milo Machado Graner, the kid from Anatomy of a Fall. He's excellent in it. Honestly I don't get the RDJ at #1 😐

This is a great trio. When magic happens it happens

Gosling got nominated at the Gothams too didn’t he?

Oh perri voted for him! Way to go.

One that I would personally love to see is Chris Messina for Air

Finally! I agree with Mantz on something-Glenn Howerton’s performance was thee best I saw all year. He’s #1 on my list.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT The Iron Claw?? Wait.

I would love it if "Blackberry" ended up with both an actor nomination and a best picture nomination. Easily one of my favorite movies of the year.

Am with Jeff here. RDJ is going to win best supporting actor, period. Gosling was/is brilliant, but they're never going to give an Oscar to Ken. As ever, you three are just so darned entertaining.

ANTHONY SINGLETARY on NOVEMBER 9, 2023 Andy Muschietti is set to helm the long-awaited Batman: The Brave and The Bold reboot. The project now seems on hold at DC Studios as the director focuses on other projects following the SAG-AFTRA strike😮😮😮😮😮

my crack pick for a nom is milo machado graner for anatomy of a fall.

i think of Gosling as more of a lead role, Simu Liu and Michael Cera where more supporting.

I was a little pissed for Perri when Scott stole her thunder for her number one pick

I just watched Anatomy of a Fall and I think the boy Milo Machado Graner should be in the conversation

Ryan Gosling should not be known for getting an Oscar for Barbie rather than any of his performance in way superior films like Blue Valentine, Drive, Place Beyond the Pines, The Nice Guys, La La Land or The Blade Runner 2049. It'd be a travesty if he gets an Oscar for Barbie of all things after giving such phenomenal dramatic performances in his earlier films.

Perri didn't say that Gosling was most likely to win an Oscar. Perri said that she thought Gosling was most likely to get nominated. That isn't the same thing.

Perri is the best predictor out of these 3. No contest.

Sorry it's late, just catching up on the vids, but I could not agree with Jeff more on this. I mostly enjoyed Barbie, but I wasn't blown away & I thought the worst part of the movie was Gosling. I found him horribly miscast, he only seemed to have one facial expression and I found him awkward to look at and listen to, especially during the musical numbers. I actually kept trying to look at Simu or Ben or Ncuti - literally any of the other Kens or Allen. To think that he is even in the same conversation with RDJ or entertain the idea that RDJ might lose after giving a flawless performance in a flawless epic film in a class by itself makes me want to jump off a bridge. Then again, I'd feel the same if somehown American New Yorker Commander of the French army beats either Cillian Murphy or Bradley Cooper in best actor. I feel like I'm from another multivere right now 🙃😵🤣

Remember for the past like 5 years there’s always ALWAYS been 2 people nominated from the same movie. I think those two this year will be Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo.

Thank you Scott. The Golden God, Five-star man loves you.

Mantz, De Niro got snubbed for The Irishman. That’s why the Academy will make up for that here imo.

It's Gosling to lose in my opinion. Anyone could've played Downey's part. I don't know any actor that could've played Ken the way Gosling did. It's too indelible to be ignored.

My perditions as of now 1. Robert DeNiro 2. Robert Downey, Jr. 3. William Dafoe 4. Ryan Gosling 5. Mark Ruffalo

I would love to see Oscar Isaac nominated for Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse, Donnie Yen or Hiroyuki Sanada nominated for John Wick 4, Jeremy Allen White or Harris Dickinson nominated for The Iron Claw, Raúl Castillo nominated for Cassandro and Nicholas Galitzine nominated for Bottoms

Deniro was snubbed for Irishman.

Take on count that Gosling get a Gotham nomination even tho the movie is not independent, that say something about the support he has

Barbie was bound to make a billion dollars at the box office no matter how good it was and who made it because the name barbie was attached to it. Similarly The Super Mario Bros. was destined to make a billion dollars because of it's pop culture roots. Please stop citing Barbie's box office as a special achievement. Oppenheimer's box office is a real achievement that defied all odds for the kind of movie it was.

11:14 De Niro was not nominated for the Irishman 🤦‍♂️

I have seen May December and in my opinion Charles Melton stole the show from two Oscar nominated actresses (but they all were amazing) and he shouldn’t just get nominated he should WIN the Oscar. Best supporting performance I’ve seen this year so far.

If Ken doesn't get a win,I'd be happy because it's on point with his character.

I understand though why they want Gosling to win.

1. Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon) 2. Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) 3. Milo Machado Graner (Anatomy of a Fall) 4. Jacob Elordi (Priscilla) 5. Paul Mescal (All of Us Strangers)

My number 1 pick is Mark Ruffalo!

De Niro wasn’t nominated for The Irishman

Anyone here having MAJOR issues with Gold Derby?
