Why is Teyana Taylor (aka Perfidia Beverly Hills in One Battle After Another) at the top of Gold Derby’s Best Supporting Actress contenders list? Be honest — her performance is nervy or pushy or flashy as far as it goes, but it’s not all that great altogether….please. So why is she in the #1 position?
Roofman‘s Kirsten Dunst is Gold Derby’s 22nd-ranked Best Supporting Actress contender….bullshit! One, in a fair and just world she would be in the Best Actress category, and second, she’s delivered in Roofman what could arguably be called her best big-screen performance ever.
Weapons‘ Amy Madigan is fifth-ranked on the GD roster, but she should be the #1 contender…hands down.
Sentimental Value‘s Elle Fanning is in the #2 slot…deserved!
Why is Wicked: For Good‘s Ariana Grande in the #3 position? People of taste and worldly experience don’t even want to endure the viewing of Wicked: For Good, much less trudge into the Grande weeds all over again in the wake of last year’s award-season campaign.
Sentimental Value‘s Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas is in fourth place…fine.
I haven’t seen Marty Supreme so I’ve no opinion about the sixth-ranked Gwyneth Paltrow‘s chances for a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
These seven actresses — Dunst, Madigan, Fanning, Taylor, Grande, Lilleaas, Paltrow — are the only serious contenders in this category thus far.
