Neither will Charlize Theron, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, or Lupita Nyong\u2019o. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldderby.com\/film\/2026\/the-odyssey-oscars-acting-categories-submissions-campaign-explainer-analysis\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Gold Derby<\/a>, the Christopher Nolan-directed film will run six actors in its Oscar race, and those six actors are: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Samantha Morton, Robert Pattinson, and John Leguizamo. The biggest reveal here is that Hathaway will officially campaign as a supporting actress, which the outlet reports immediately makes her a front runner in the category. Damon will campaign for Best Actor, while the rest of the actors will campaign in their respective supporting categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Gold Derby points out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/the-odyssey-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Odyssey<\/a> could make a run for the Oscar-nomination record that Sinners achieved last year, as the film seems to have a decent shot at being nominated in most design categories. Sinners earned 16 nominations last year, with three of them being acting nominations for Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku. The Odyssey is submitting for 19 awards. Outside of acting, those categories are: picture, director, adapted screenplay, cinematography, film editing, casting, production design, costume design, makeup and hairstyling, original score, original song (for James Blake, Ludwig G\u00f6ransson, and Travis Scott\u2019s \u201cWhen I\u2019m Home\u201d), sound, and visual effects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From where we\u2019re sitting, Hathaway seemed like she had a good shot at being nominated in the leading actress category, where she likely would have competed against Julianne Moore in The Debut and Sandra H\u00fcller in Fatherland and\/or Rose. As for the supporting actor category, three actors from the same film earning nominations in the same category hasn\u2019t happened since 1974\u2019s The Godfather Part II, when Robert De Niro took home the award for his performance as Vito Corleone. Gold Derby\u2018s own odds only include Leguizamo as the nominee in the category, though they suggest Pattinson has a decent shot of getting in the lead actor category for his performance in Primetime. Meanwhile, both Hathaway and Morton are predicted to get nominations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We can now say definitively that Zendaya will not receive an Oscar\u2014nor a nomination\u2014for her role in The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":948357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-948356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/948357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=948356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=948356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
