Happy International Women's Day! Yesterday, I asked "Actresses and other female-dominated categories at the Oscars, anyone?" I didn't see any comments to the contrary, so that's what I'm covering for the Sunday entertainment feature today as filtered through Gold Derby's odds. Jessie Buckley leads Best Actress in a Leading Role for her role as the original Anne Hathaway in Hamnet with every editor and expert plus 96.3% of users. Rose Byrne sits in second with the support of 2.5% of users. She's followed by Renate Reinsve at 0.6%, Emma Stone at 0.5%, and Kate Hudson at 0.1%. I voted for Stone at the Saturn Awards and hope she wins tonight; she's not winning here.
The contest for Best Actress in a Supporting role is more competitive, as Amy Madigan currently leads as the choice of 80.0% of editors, 58.3% of experts, and 49.0% of users, Teyana Taylor, winner of the Critics Choice and Golden Globe, close behind with the support of 10.0% of editors, 19.4% of experts, and 27.7% of users, BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku on her tail as the pick of 10.0% of editors, 22.2% of experts, and 21.7% of users, with Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning far behind at 1.3% and 0.3% of users, respectively.* That's quite a change from late January, when Taylor led the Gold Derby odds. While I voted for Ariana Grande at the Saturn Awards, I expect Madigan to win tonight and am rooting for her to win on the 15th.
Follow over the jump for the nominees in three craft categories dominated by women.
The Oscars uploaded a series of "meet the candidates" videos, the first of which I'm featuring is 98th Oscars: Costume Design | Meet The Nominees.
From expansive fantasy worlds to historical dramas, these nominees reveal the inspiration, research, and craftsmanship behind their captivating costume designs.Hawley leads for Frankenstein with every editor, 92.6% of experts, and 93.2% of users. Carter is the other professional choice with 7.4% of experts and 5.4% of users voting for her. Turzanska trails with 1.0 of users, followed by Bellizzi at 0.3% and Scott at 0.2%. I voted for Wicked: For Good at the Saturn Awards, but I expect Frankenstein will win tonight, just like I expect it will win next Sunday night.

Next, 98th Oscars: Production Design | Meet The Nominees.
Get a glimpse into the minds that created the worlds in this year's most visually stunning films with our exclusive look at the 98th Oscars production design nominees.Gold Derby's odds for Production Design look a lot like Costume Design, as Deverell and Vieau lead for Frankenstein with every editor, 92.3% of experts, and 90.6% of users voting for it, followed by Beachler and Champagne from Sinners with 7.7% of both experts and users. The nominees for Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and One Battle After Another all have less than one percent user support at 0.8%, 0.6%, and 0.3%, respectively. Also like Costume Design, I voted for Wicked: For Good at the Saturn Awards, but would not be the least surprised or disappointed if Frankenstein wins this category as well.

That's a wrap for today. See the footnote for the next installment in this series.
*Seeing Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning nominated reminds me that 2025 was a great year for international/non-English-language films. I might write an entry about them between now and next Sunday, so stay tuned. Speaking of international films, I missed that The Ugly Stepsister earned an Oscar nomination for Hairstyling and Makeup so I should add that it might upset Bring Her Back and Sisu 2 at tonight's Saturn Awards.
