The 2021 Oscar nominees for Best Actress are Viola Davis (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Andra Day (“The United States vs. Billie Holiday”), Vanessa Kirby (“Pieces of a Woman”), Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”), and Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”). Our current odds indicate that Mulligan (69/20) will take the prize, followed in order by Davis (4/1), Day (4/1), McDormand (4/1), and Kirby (9/2).
McDormand is already one of 14 actresses to score multiple lead wins, having bagged a pair of trophies for “Fargo” (1997) and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (2018). This year, she could follow Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, and Meryl Streep into the record books as the fourth woman to win three or more Oscars for acting. McDormand has three supporting bids to her name for “Mississippi Burning” (1989), “Almost Famous” (2001), and “North Country” (2006).
Davis is also a past winner for her supporting role in “Fences” (2017). A victory this year would make her the 22nd woman to earn multiple acting...
