Robert Downey Jr. and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, the favorites for the Oscar for supporting role.
Both won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes and the British Bafta. The actress was only revealed to the general public in 2019 thanks to her role as Lady Reed in Dolemite Is My Name with Eddie Murphy. Since 2021, she has played Detective Williams in the American series Only Murders in the Building alongside Selena Gomez and Steve Martin. For her first Oscar nomination, she could therefore win against Emily Blunt in Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks in The Color Purple, America Ferrera in Barbie and Jodie Foster in Unsinkable.
