The category of the best secondary or supporting actor this year has great actors and some of them participate in the films nominated for the best film. The betting is in order, and previous awards have favored an actor. But anything can happen! Here are the 5 nominees for Best Supporting Actor.

Brendan Gleeson (Island Spirits)

In this film, the actor embodies Colm, a violinist who lives in a town far from civilization and who overnight does not want to be friends with Pádric (Colin Farrell), the man with whom he shared all his after- noon. While Pádraic is a simple, slow-thinking man who lives with his sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) in a small house where they care for their animals and a donkey, Colm yearns for a better future than he cannot find with the company of this man whom he considers rather rustic. You can see this film in theaters.

Jonathan Ke Huy Quan (Everything everywhere at the same time)

The film created by the Daniels has many chances to win the first prize, just like this actor who has just won the critics and the Golden Globes. Ke Huy Quan began his career as a child and was part of the cast of The Gonnies and of Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom. But now he’s facing a triumphant comeback with his role in Everything everywhere at the same time where he brings to life Waymond, the husband of Evelyn, the protagonist (Michelle Yeoh, also nominated for Best Lead Actress). It’s a somewhat crazy journey into different dimensions and realities that shows the actor’s ductility in taking on each role he interprets. All bets give it as a winner. You can watch this movie on Prime Video.

Judd Hirsch (Los Fabelman)

He is one of the actors who appear less on stage but who managed to impact the critics with his character and, of course, the members of the Hollywood academy who decided to include him in this category. Judd Hirsch is part of this almost autobiographical film by Steven Spielberg called The Fabelmans where he embodies the uncle of the character who gives life to the director of HEY. It’s only about 10 minutes that he takes part in this story, but it’s very relevant for the young man who is on his way to becoming a future filmmaker. You can see The Fabelmans in theatres.

Brian Tyree Henry (Casway)

The famous actor of the series Atlanta managed to be part of this select group for his participation in the film Pavement, the film which premiered on the Apple TV + platform where you can currently see it. He plays James, a mechanic who unexpectedly begins to bond with a soldier named Lindsay (played by Jennifer Lawrence) who, upon returning to New Orleans with brain damage caused during the war, will attempt to rehabilitate. to everyday life. He doesn’t have much chance of winning an award but he already considers it a great honor to have been considered.

Barry Keoghan (Island Spirits)

This film is not only nominated for Best Picture, but all of the central actors managed to sneak in the nominations, like Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, and the aforementioned Barry Keoghan. Here he plays a boy with socialization issues and mental health issues caused by an abusive and violent father who is also the town policeman. His bond with Pádric will be the one that puts him in an atmosphere where no resident can be happy. A fine performance that deserved this distinction.
