Vulture singles out Gaga and Jared Leto as Oscar-worthy in predictions

Lady Gaga, House of Gucci (up in predictions)

House of Gucci finds Gaga in full-on diva mode, sinking her teeth into the role of Patrizia Reggiani and piling spoonfuls of gravy onto every line. Compared with her self-consciously stripped-down work in A Star Is Born, Gucci lets Gaga show an awful lot of artifice. That hair! That accent! Those nails! She’s a hoot, but for an actress who has previously been dinged as an Oscars arriviste, I’m not sure if the movie’s campiness works in her favor. (Is her Method-acting line the new “100 people in a room”?) It’s probably best to batten down the hatches for the looming stan war regardless.

 

Jared Leto, House of Gucci (up in predictions)

Mamma mia! No one in the Gucci cast goes as grande as Leto, who piles on the prosthetics to play a black-sheep cousin, a performance multiple critics have compared to figures from the Super Mario franchise. While there’s a nonzero chance that Leto’s performance will set back Italian representation 150 years, Supporting Actor sometimes has room for an oversize comic turn like this one, especially in a year otherwise lacking in much star power.

So far Gaga and Jared are the ones who seem to stand the best chance. I think Al Pacino might get in too but Adam might not.
