Hollywood Elsewhere is also rooting big-time for West Side Story‘s Mike Faist to snag a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Because his performance leaps out and burns through. Everyone has said this.
Friendo quote from this morning: “If Mike Faist was an actor of color he’d be an automatic lock to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, in the same way that WSS costar Ariana DeBose is well-positioned to win the Best Supporting Actress trophy. Alas, Faist is descended from people in Austria and Germany (or so his last name suggests), and so he’s struggling to squeeze into the final five.”
