There is still a long way to go for the night of March 12, the date of the 2023 Oscar gala. To dream – why not – with the award for best actress for Ana de Armas for her extraordinary composition of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde . But there is less to go, for example, for January 24, when we will know all the Oscar nominations . And even less to have the first big clue to know if Ana de Armas will opt for the precious statuette: the reading of the nominations for the Golden Globes this December 12.






The most normal thing is that on December 12 we hear the name of Ana de Armas as one of the candidates for the Golden Globe, both for the quality of her work and for the widest range of possibilities in relation to the Oscars. At the Golden Globes a division is established between drama films, actors and actresses and those of comedy or musical. That is, instead of five candidate actresses as in the Oscars, in the Golden Globes there are 10 nominees. In the more than likely case that she opts for the award, it would be the second nomination for the Golden Globes of Ana de Armas after the one she achieved as best actress in a comedy or musical in the 2020 edition for Daggers in the back .





Ana de Armas has several things going for her first Oscar nomination. First and foremost, her impeccable work on Blonde , bolstered by great characterization. Then, the taste of the Hollywood Academy for the interpretations of biopics that, in all probability, will find endorsement in the nomination – at least – to Austin Butler for Elvis . And, in addition, the recognition that until now has found its maximum expression in the 14-minute ovation that Ana de Armas received at the Venice Festival .


If there is something that can play against Ana Armas's chances of an Oscar nomination, it is only the great competition that can be found along the way. Along with her name are also those of Cate Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, Olivia Colman, Michelle Williams, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Carey Mulligan, Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh, Jennifer Lawrence and the latest winner of the Oscar for best actress: Jessica Chastain. And the list does not end there.


In the specialized press of the United States we find reasons to get excited about the Oscar nomination of Ana de Armas, but not in all cases. Keep in mind that Blonde has just been released on Netflix and has yet to gain strength, but for example Variety includes Ana de Armas in a second group of favorites , not among the top five, which for the American media are Michelle Yeoh , Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams, Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler. Ana de Armas occupies position number eight on that list.



Gold Derby , which is dedicated to projecting possible Oscar nominees and winners, also places Ana de Armas in a second group of favorites for now, behind actresses such as Cate Blanchett , Jessica Chastain , Olivia Colman, Viola Davis, Margot Robbie , Michelle Williams and Michelle Yeoh.Better expectations for Ana de Armas offers a medium with a fairly high percentage of success in recent years. Indiewire lists the Blonde star as one of the top five actresses most likely to be nominated along with Cate Blanchett, Olivia Colman , Viola Davis and Michelle Yeoh . We better stay with that forecast.
