The Hermione Granger/Furiosa/Rita Moreno Award for Best  Supporting Actress

Previous Winners:  Dafne Keene (Logan), Tilda Swinton (Dr. Strange), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), Emma Stone (Birdman), Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle), Sally Field (Lincoln), Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses), Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place), Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit), Margo Martindale (Blow the Man Down), Rita Moreno (West Side Story), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers), Ariana Grande (Wicked)

With Best Supporting Actress, we have two past winners who are up for the award this year. It happened in the Best Director category… could we have the first time 2-Time winner of The Hermione Granger/Furiosa/Rita Moreno Award for Best  Supporting Actress?

Let’s find out…

#12. Erin Kellyman (Eleanor the Great)

#11. Jennifer Lopez (Kiss of the Spider-Woman)

#10. Chase Infiniti (One battle After Another)

So the first three are all roles that were not winning this, but were solid performances. Chase Infiniti has a chance to be nominated for an Oscar, but I think her days are still ahead of her.

#9. America Ferrera (The Lost Bus)

#8. Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value)

#7. Laura Dern (Jay Kelly)

#6. Rebecca Ferguson (A House of Dynamite)

Four solid women in this stretch of the list. Rebecca Ferguson, America Ferrera both did underrated work in their movies this year. Elle Fanning stood out in Sentimental Value.

#5. Hailee Seinfeld (Sinners)

#4. Emily Blunt (Smashing Machine)

#3. Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good)

#2. Glenn Close (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery)

So no double winners in the supporting actress category this year. Emily Blunt had won previously for A Quiet Place and Ariana Grande won last year for Wicked. We have a new winner this year. Glenn Close nearly snuck up and snatched this away with her amazing performance in Wake Up Dead Man.

And #1…

Amy Madigan (Weapons)

Amy Madigan was thrilling and cruel as the witch who needed to kidnap a group of kids to save herself. She was creepy and eerie. She had the strangest, yet most deserving ending to any villain this year. Her performance made this movie work. It gave us all someone to hate.
