Teyana Taylor’s untamable revolutionary in “One Battle After Another” holds a solid lead over the pack in Round 1. Like her fierce character, “it’s hard to imagine anyone getting in [Taylor’s] way,” says Amy Nicholson. “Finally, she has a role equal to her dynamite screen presence.”
But the news here could be the inclusion of two horror-movie turns. Anne Thompson says Amy Madigan “steals the show in horror hit ‘Weapons’ ” and Wunmi Mosaku “heats up the screen in ‘Sinners.’ ” Katie Walsh enthuses, “If I had a ballot, I’d be voting for Wunmi Mosaku’s sexy, heartbreaking performance in ‘Sinners’ and Amy Madigan’s camp-horror turn as Aunt Gladys in ‘Weapons.’ ”
Dave Karger says he’s “curious (and hopeful) to see if Amy Madigan’s unforgettable performance in ‘Weapons’ can lead to her first Academy Award nomination in 40 years,” as she received a nod for the Gene Hackman-starring “Twice in a Lifetime” in 1986.
Noting “this category has gone to a woman of color the last four out of five years,” Robert Daniels says, “We’ll see if that streak of diversity holds up.”
