“It’s a tough call. While it seems like Cooper has this walking in the door, one has to assess A Star is Born’s future overall. If it’s likely to win Best Picture, he’s not likely to win Best Actor. If it isn’t going to win Best Picture, he might win Best Actor. He could do what Laurence Olivier did, of course, and win both. It’s certainly possible.” I can’t help but agree with Stone: Cooper, Mortensen and Bale are the front-runners. Who else can we consider? As nominees, at least, Ryan Gosling, doing his usual emotionless robotic thing in “First Man,” he’ll probably be nominated; Rami Malek deserves a nod for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ but the film is being destroyed by critics; Ethan Hawke delivered some peak career work in “First Reformed; Hugh Jackman as Gary Hart in “The Front Runner” definitely gets my personal approval.
