Best Supporting Actress 2026: The Scene Stealers

Often the most exciting category, rewarding character actors and breakout stars.

Contenders

1. Sandra Hüller (Project Hail Mary - role rumors): If she plays Stratt, it's a powerful authority figure role.
2. Julia Garner (Fantastic Four - Silver Surfer): A gender-swapped Silver Surfer? High risk, high reward.
3. Tilda Swinton (The Room Next Door): Always a contender when she works with Almodóvar.

What Voters Look For

• Scene Stealing: You need a "clip" moment.
• Transformation: Disappearing into the role.
• Mothers and Mentors: These archetypes historically perform well.
