it is between viola davis for ma rainey�*s black bottom, frances mcdormand for nomadland, andra day foriday, vanessa kirby for pieces of a woman and carey mulligan for promising young woman. any one of them could win. what's my name? jason, here we are in our award season finery with nowhere to go. but has the online award season meant there has been more fragmentation when it comes to actually choosing the winners? i think there is and i think that what has happened is because there is a lack of award season, no one has been able to build up a red—carpet hullabaloo before a momentum. the studios with their marketing might and the campaigns around them, no one has been able to piggyback on accrued momentum throughout the season so what you're getting is peoplejust saying, well, i'm going to vote for the one that i liked the most. korean actress yuh—jung youn, who stars in minari, the story of an immigrant korean family in america, it is becoming the favourite for the supporting actress academy award, after wins at bafta and the screen actors guild. and the award goes to... yuh—jung youn

woman to win an oscar period so there was a lot of diversity to go around i think they thought viola davis would win the best actress category that was not the case and went to francis but you also have you know judas in the black messiah at lincoln winning white category with daniel clooney and then you also have my rainey's black bottom winning for makeup in costume so there was a lot of diversity and more than 70 women were nominated for an oscar in front of and behind the camera so a lot of diversity we still have a long way to go though because remember no one has won. in the best actress category at least an african-american woman has a. very one decades ago so we still have a long way to go but we are moving in the right direction i believe here in hollywood when more of their kitty came to how did the ceremony and the conditions of the pandemic. they did the best they could and i believe just because you know we are living in a pandemic and they were very concerned about colvin so the number of people were decrease you had very few people in a red carpet and they were 6 feet apart
