Best Supporting Actress 2020+

My top choices in the order I would place them on my Academy ballot if I were allowed to vote. In other words, this is my top five, but I acknowledge that this list is already influenced by awards buzz. They are not in order of my preference. Instead, the actors whom I think would theoretically benefit the most from my vote are at the top.

MARGARITA KÉNEFIC, La Llorona

KATIANA MILFORT, Zombi Child

KSENIYA KUTEPOVA, Beanpole (Дылда)

 

ESSIE DAVIS, Babyteeth
