Most people can agree that Tiffany Haddish low-key stole the show in Girls Trip. From comedic timing, to visual storytelling, Tiffany gave humor a full-body experience that had folks screaming with laughter. Clearly Oscar material.

Betty Gabriel for Best Supporting Actress (Get Out)

Rising talent Betty Gabriel had one of the most potent scenes in the smash horror flick Get Out. Her lost soul in the midst of White people caused the movie to go from slightly comedic to a devastating narrative on Black silence. Don’t tell me you didn’t get emotional when that one tear drop left her eye! Give this woman an Oscar!

Jason Mitchell for Best Supporting Actor (Mudboud)

Jason is one actor who’s continually overlooked for his stellar performances. First, he was ignored for his powerful portrayal of Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton. Now he’s snubbed for his amazing performance as a Black soldier returning to a racist south in Mudbound. Shame on you Academy!

Once again, Dee Rees showed her directing chops with another emotional period piece. She proved she can delve into the past with her HBO flick Bessie, and now she’s recalling ancestors again in Mudbound. Check out her nuanced breakdown of a scene in the clip below!

I, Tonya for Best Picture

With movies like Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird getting nominated for Best Picture, it seems the Academy favored the more subtle dramas this year. I, Tonya is not that type of movie.

Hailed as the Goodfellas of figure skating, this flick hits you in the gut with the story of controversial figure skater Tonya Harding. Though Margot Robbie and Allison Janney received well-deserved recognition for their roles in the movie, a Best Picture nod would have been the icing on the cake!
