The Odyssey sets six actors for its Oscar campaign

As Gold Derby points out, The Odyssey could make a run for the Oscar-nomination record that Sinners achieved last year, as the film seems to have a decent shot at being nominated in most design categories. Sinners earned 16 nominations last year, with three of them being acting nominations for Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku. The Odyssey is submitting for 19 awards. Outside of acting, those categories are: picture, director, adapted screenplay, cinematography, film editing, casting, production design, costume design, makeup and hairstyling, original score, original song (for James Blake, Ludwig Göransson, and Travis Scott’s “When I’m Home”), sound, and visual effects.  

From where we’re sitting, Hathaway seemed like she had a good shot at being nominated in the leading actress category, where she likely would have competed against Julianne Moore in The Debut and Sandra Hüller in Fatherland and/or Rose. As for the supporting actor category, three actors from the same film earning nominations in the same category hasn’t happened since 1974’s The Godfather Part II, when Robert De Niro took home the award for his performance as Vito Corleone. Gold Derby‘s own odds only include Leguizamo as the nominee in the category, though they suggest Pattinson has a decent shot of getting in the lead actor category for his performance in Primetime. Meanwhile, both Hathaway and Morton are predicted to get nominations.
