Queer representation in film has come a long way, and this year could open the floodgates at the Oscars. As of this writing we’re predicting that seven actors will be nominated for playing Lgbt roles across all four acting categories, and there’s an eighth currently on the bubble. How many will make the cut?
“The Favourite” leads the way with three predicted nominees playing queer roles. Best Actress contender Olivia Colman and Best Supporting Actress hopefuls Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz are in a love triangle of sorts as 18th century royals, though it’s not entirely clear how much of their sexual interplay is about actual attraction and how much is about power.
“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” stars potential Best Actress contender Melissa McCarthy as lesbian writer Lee Israel and Best Supporting Actor possibility Richard E. Grant as her gay friend and criminal accomplice Jack Hock.
