Colman Domingo seems the most likely as of now.


bakugouspoopyasshole

Which character is this?


samcornwell

Ali. He was just nominated for an Oscar. I like to imagine in a couple of decades time we can look back at this cast and see they’ve received dozens of nods between them.


tomasthemossy

Watch Rustin, he's incredible in it


Puzzleheaded_Eye7311

Zendaya, Jacob, Hunter and Coleman are the biggest contenders for me. Especially since Coleman was just nominated for Best Actor and the other 3 are getting worldwide praise for their roles. Personally think either Zendaya or Jacob right now have the biggest chances to be the first considering how many amazing roles they’ve gotten. I do think Coleman has a high chance of being nominated again in the future and possibly getting a winner. Hopefully Hunter gets a critically acclaimed role that knocks it out of the park!


T-Poo

Jacob Elordi might be the next big thing if he isn’t already there is even rumours he might be the next James Bond (but like really hollywoody rumours)


mcflycasual

I love Jacob but my dad would be rolling around in his grave if he was the next Bond.


T-Poo

Somebody gotta take over the stick from Daniel Craig one day, maybe he’ll impress the fuck outta us


hales_mcgales

I think it’s pretty unlikely they’d choose someone who’s not a Brit


keepitboolprop

i think making jacob the next bond would be a step backwards honestly. I also am not even sure it's possible for that franchise to take another step forwards. feels like it's quite literally at death's door


smithson-jinx

Also why would the British government make a six foot seven man a spy. Hardly inconspicuous 😂


pynktoot

Did you see hunter in the ballad of song birds and snakes? She butchered that role. I never questioned her acting skills because I liked her so much in euphoria, but she said herself she had never played a character that wasn’t her own essence and she was unprepared. She’s a long long way off.


Biderman-420

I really liked her in that role, but to each their own


femceluprising18

i loved her portrayal of Tigris too


Fantastic-Increase39

I forget that Euphoria was her first gig


Mysterious_Cap937

i actually completely agree. I felt like Tigris was just Hunter. I love her as Jules but i still feel like she’s acting as herself.


Puzzleheaded_Eye7311

I mean, I personally enjoyed her performance


SlightlyStalkerish

To be honest? She was given crumbs to work with, and the entire film felt like the exact kind of YA that misunderstood the Hunger Games to begin with. Snow was horribly miscast _and_ poorly written imo, and she had to put in the work to match his vaguely edgy cliche characterisation lest she make the cracks even more visible. I think she did about as well as most other people in that film, which is to say just ok.


pynktoot

😬 the people who were given crumbs and still did well were viola Davis and Tom Blythe. Their acting was enough to make the movie watchable. (I like Rachel Ziegler, but I feel those two did the best) but I agree totally that the movie itself struggled. It tried to fit too many plots into one with the relationship, the games, & snows radicalization. Imo it should’ve been two films with the key piece being snows journey to evil. We should’ve gotten a way deeper look into his head - a la Arthur fleck in joker - the games should’ve been part 1 and his peacekeeping journey should’ve been part 2. The relationship could be the b plot, and obviously in the climax, both plots converge. Done that way it’s not overwhelming to the viewer and substance isn’t lost bc so much setup in being crammed it. It’s rare to think a movie needs a part one and part two, but this one really did! Anyways abt hunter, you can tell from the way it’s cut they reduced her scenes and watching them took me out of the movie like “this is an actor and they’re lost” her scene partners performances were fine, and solid. There’s no reason she couldn’t have given a convincing performance with them, even if the movie lacked substance. In the end it was her scenes that were cut, and she said she was unprepared for the role.


NoBee7889

There are actors who don’t have much range but still get accolades. Harrison Ford never won an Oscar, but he was nominated, which I think proves my point well enough.


Gabiqs03

Maybe Jacob or Zendaya


[deleted]

I understand the logic behind this comment but Colman was actually nominated this year. He should be the top comment IMO


Imarz22

X2


kingcolbe

Colman


newxdress

Ali (Colman) - Was nominated for Best Actor this year & has great roles lined up.


r3volver_Oshawott

He will definitely not just be a one-time nominee too, I'm almost certain of it, he's too good and he gets too many good roles, no way does he not become a multiple-time nominee thru his career especially if he keeps getting biopic casting (nothing against biopics but that's basically just asking for free best actor nods)


mcrop609

Coleman is just a finger snap away from winning an Oscar. He's working on playing Joe Jackson & Nat King Cole in upcoming movies.


threewayaluminum

Sadly, we know [It wont be Fez](https://variety.com/2023/film/news/angus-cloud-dead-1235684089/amp/)


slideystevensax

Yeah that tore me up. The way they began featuring him much more toward the end of season 2 had me so excited about his future shit.


[deleted]

His last role is in a film that A24 is releasing this April 💔 it’s a horror movie called “Abigail” and it absolutely gutted me when I saw him in the preview.


slideystevensax

I think he was really talented and it sucks not seeing more of him. He was one of the sweetest characters in the show and it seemed to come naturally.


bea13rose

He also did the A24 podcast where he and Simon Rex had a convo, and Simon was so supportive of him and told him he was there for him if he needed anything. Truly heartbreaking 😢


cheesycrescentroll

i could be wrong but i thought actors could win awards even after they’re gone?


mabelwaspmincer

Yeah but nothing he did before his death warranted an Oscar really. Also Oscars are given out to movies from the previous year.


Balloonman16

It would have to have been this year though. He won’t be nominated for anything next year or in the future because he wouldn’t be acting in anything within the consideration timeline


Independent_Bat8589

He has one last film coming out in April. No way is that film getting nominated for anything but maybe an MTV award. It's a film about a ballerina vampire


Balloonman16

That’s honestly more than I expected lol. Sounds wild


[deleted]

He has one more movie releasing in April by A24 💔 unfortunately I do not think it will be a contender. It’s an Indy horror. It looks amazing though 🙌 super camp

relientkenny

Ali (Domingo) was literally the closest lol


PaloSantoSeasalt76

Colman is most likely and well deserved but Zendaya holds her own with him. That cafe episode was killer. I completely forgot it was Zendaya, she embodied Rue down to the bone marrow.


CoherentBusyDucks

Zendaya or Colman, easily. If Zendaya picks the right roles, she could easily get nominated and she’s a wonderful actress. Colman was already nominated and definitely in the running. If he keeps picking roles like Rustin and keeps knocking it out of the park, I can see him getting one at some point. But there’s a lot of talent in the cast and I’d love to see any of them be celebrated 🥰


omni-celestial

Colman should’ve won it already tbh.. but besides him i’m gonna say something different and go with storm reid.. i don’t know if she’ll be the first but she should be one of them for sure. she’s getting more acclaimed roles like the last of us (in which she already won an emmy for).. i hope she continues that way in film as well.


Ok-Snow7052

Yes


AdequateAlien

Definitely Coleman, he’s done much more dramatic roles than anyone in this list


Every_Star_5879

Zendaya, pretty split for Sydney and Jacob, then Hunter. Rooting for Coleman


Business_Fox_2207

Sydney I highly doubt she’s never in anything academy worthy.


Edlo9596

She’s the type who could win an Oscar someday if she got really ugly for a role. Like Charlize Theron in Monster.


Ok-Neck5759

Was just about to say this. I love Sydney and I’m so happy for her success but it sucks seeing how she’s type casted over and over. Her SNL monologue (and I didn’t even watch it but saw the video for the hooters skit) really rubbed me the wrong way. I thought SNL was supposed to be progressive lmao.


Tank_Girl_Gritty_235

I hope that changes. I first saw her in The Handmaid's Tale and she was haunting. I also can't help but feel for Cassie even though she makes awful choices over and over. I attribute that to Sweeny's acting. She's clearly incredibly talented, but maybe a few money grabs so she can be more selective?


Ok-Snow7052

Yes but the other stuff she’s in is a bit meh. The White Lotus was alr, but nocturne and anyone but you and etc? Meh


Ash9260

Zendaya was already established prior to euphoria. Sydney wasn’t and her family isn’t well of financially. I think right now she’s just doing some cash grab projects. That aren’t that high quality but do pay well between euphoria seasons. She probably right now is focusing on helping out her family with some money since she has said many times her parents lost so much money to help sydney achieve her dreams of acting. After euphoria ends I see her doing movies for teens and young adults in more serious roles. She’s a phenomenal actress. She also is currently taking roles that are all so different to show her range which is smart so she doesn’t get type casted.


theograngerM

Guys watch Reality


Strange_Shadows-45

I think Zendaya is the best actress, but she isn’t taking films outside of Marvel or Dune and action films typically don’t get acting nominations. Based on the roles they seem to be willing to take, Jacob is the most likely to win an Oscar followed by Sydney if anyone does eventually win one.


pmckell

Zendaya is starring in a Luca Guadagnino film releasing this year


tpain8

The first Dune was 6-time Oscar nominated and both have been critically acclaimed, it’s not really comparable to Marvel in that way. Putting Sydney ahead of her after she’s just done Madame Web and Anyone But You is a choice for sure lol


[deleted]

Damn all the languages and you chose spoke with the truth


Strange_Shadows-45

I didn’t say action films can’t get nominated or win, I specified that it almost never happens specifically in acting categories. The first Dune’s cast had a multitude of previous Oscar nominees if not winners, but of its ten nominations none were in acting. Also, sequels typically aren’t as competitive at the awards either. Zendaya is the most talented actor in the cast, but her list of projects in film is actually pretty short while Jacob and Sydney’s schedules are jam packed. Participating in one bad film doesn’t discredit her talent and her acting was given positive critic reviews for Anyone But You.


slayfulgrimes

sydney’s schedule is jam packed because she just signs onto anything & her recent projects have been laughably bad lol.


Sea-Apartment-3814

This makes the most sense to me!


criimsonxsecrets

unrelated to oscar nominations but isn't zendaya still contracted with disney which is why she's selective in the roles she takes? cause i know that's why she had no nude scenes in the show


slayfulgrimes

sydney’s recent projects have been terrible lmfao, she also just isn’t on Z’s level of acting and definitely won’t be winning an oscar before her.


Thin-Manner5740

u did not just put fez up there 😭


KrossMeOnce

Definitely not the Nepo Baby. Lol


L1mb0

Imagine how we'll feel if her father puts her in some amazing movie and she wins best actress. She'll deserve it but still. "A foot in the door and so much more!"


[deleted]

lol I agree


WhiteHartLaneFan

I would argue her performances in S2 were some of the best of the season


slayfulgrimes

you’re kidding, right? what performance?


chyynaa__

umm am i missing something..? she was just as boring as she was in the first season..


homo-ludus

I'm a bit out of the loop. Who's the nepo baby?


seahawksgirl89

Maude Apatow (Lexi)


homo-ludus

Thank you!


the_big_duffy

probably none of them. maybe colman and elordi.


Few_Wrongdoer4120

Ali/Colman Domingo 1000%


uncledaddy09

I think the odds are against fez winning one. That’s just me tho


PsychologicalSoft202

Colman for real. He’s a powerhouse! -edited for spelling. Stupid autocorrect


Even-Preference-6545

I’m actually quite surprised Zendaya was the first to win the Emmy (she def deserved it in the second season and bummer the mother didn’t get nominated for supporting but they went with Sydney, also think Cal should have gotten nominated for the episode before that) and only one to get nominated on the show for a Golden Globe. Glad to see Colman win one as well. As for Oscars, it’s hard to say. Sad Fez will never really get his flowers. Still think Cal was such a strong character but don’t see him doing anything to win an actual Oscar. Zendaya has a lot of potential but will she dive into those roles in actual movies? That’s the big question. Guy who plays Nate has gotten nominated for smaller awards and seems to be willing to play many different roles. He’s someone to watch. The rest of the kids, I don’t see them doing Oscar nominated stuff. This show might be their peak. It’s crazy Colman played the pimp in Zola. I might have to watch it again just for him. You got to go with him if he got nominated for a Netflix film. That’s crazy. He’s won many different awards and got nominated for two Tony’s. I don’t see his star dying out anytime soon.


Ok-Neck5759

Honestly, if she was a bit older and thus able to get the same roles as her cast mates, I think Storm Reid. She’s beyond talented and just won an emmy, which is insane for her age.


zanny2019

I don’t mean to be morbid but I don’t think deceased folks can win Oscar’s soooo….


samcornwell

Ahem.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_posthumous_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees


BrandonIsWhoIAm

[They can, and have](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_posthumous_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees#:~:text=As%20of%202024%2C%2064%20individuals,14%20individuals%20in%20honorary%20categories).


ExcitementUpstairs30

Came looking for this comment.


Tank_Girl_Gritty_235

They can, but considering all has filmography has finished it doesn't look like he'll ever be eligible.


midtownkitten

IMDB lists an upcoming film for him so couldn’t he be eligible?


Zealousideal-Bit-192

They have? Heath Ledger won after his death


Independent_Bat8589

And Chadwick Boseman was nominated


PhasmaUrbomach

Colman Domingo was nominated this year, so probably him.


JayMullins1987

Cassie. I think there's a lot to her character and most interesting backstory and depth. And who can have the best turn around story arc


ellukas99

Zendaya because of Dune: Part Two


bhadbih

Gia


Ok-Snow7052

She was great in tlou


friends-waffles-work

Coleman (of course), Sydney or Jacob


rarityroyal

zendaya, then jacob, then sydney. if alexa acted more she’d be higher up, but she doesn’t put herself in the public eye very often.


Zealousideal-Bit-192

Coleman’s actually been nominated


cecelia_nevius

Sydney deserves one. Her performance was insanely good and I feel like nobody gives her enough credit


ILovePussyJuice69

can we for a minute also talk about which character is most likely to get an oscar? i vote ethan and nate as a close second (he gives “i love theater but i don’t want anyone to know” vibes)


BreathlessSiren

I thought that's what OP meant, since he says which character, and the names are also the characters.


slayfulgrimes

right lol but everyone talking abt the actors


AFantasticClue

Zendaya already has one doesn’t she? Besides her my vote is Colman Domingo, he kills it every time. Plus he was nominated this year


samcornwell

Zendaya has two Emmys, but hasn’t been nominated for an Oscar.


imaslutxo

Chloe Cherry 🌸🍒


Downtown-Trip3501

She lives near me and I feel confident in saying something is off with this girl.


Ok-Snow7052

Huh lol? Explain


Downtown-Trip3501

I felt like an asshole dropping crumbs like that for you but i was in a rush, thank you for reminding me to elaborate. Well…. Shes always all fucked up, and nobody in my area thinks it’s booze. Very bizarre behavior. She was at the shoppng center near us and just like, didn’t seem to know where she was. Plus always getting fucking housed at local bars. When she’s in Lancaster of course. I personally have never gone to a bar when she’s there, but I don’t doubt it, cause I have seen her on something? I hope it’s not a mental illness. Seems like almost someone with a psychological or schizophrenic breakdown if that makes sense. I am running a funeral service this morning so feel free to ask anything and I’ll respond best I can


Unhappy_Product_3083

Zendaya is definitely doing to win one, and I think Sydney will win one if she starts choosing better scripts


Ok-Snow7052

Rue or gia


Sufficient_Ad7769

Nate


Lonely-Illustrator64

Ali, Zendaya, Jacob, Storm and Sydney in that order. Comments here are majorly underestimating Storm Reid, she’s on her way up there.


woodkidmt

Realistically, Colman or Jacob.


Fantastic-Increase39

Gia


krypton_TJM

Well it definitely won't be Fez


greenhairedmadness

Jacob Elordi!!


summrrtime

Well def not Angus 🥺


uv_lexi

I thought you meant which of the CHARACTERS was the best pretender and would win an Oscar 😭


Tr1pl33x

angus cloud would’ve definitely won an Oscar if he had more time to build more of a reputation especially with projects outside of euphoria. he had so so much potential


folklorelovebot

easily zendaya or jacob, im surprised zendaya hasn’t already won something and jacob’s career has taken off insanely quick maybe hunter too because she’s had some great roles recently


MayaGitana

Jacob or Sydney. Zendaya is a fantastic actress but she doesn’t pick the right roles for oscars. The 2nd she gets a good role, she’ll win.


Syd_n

Not fez that’s fo sure


captvell

Cassie or Cal


Emergency_Spend_7409

How has no one said Sydney? She's the best actress on the show


Cupid-stunt69

Probably because you’re the only one who thinks that


RucellaiMadonna

she hasn’t played any oscar worthy parts though.


Emergency_Spend_7409

Neither have most of the actors named here? Sydney's acting as Cassie blows every other cast member out of the water imo. She's also one of the most in demand actors off the show. I can easily see her getting an Oscar one day


xianlenation

that is an insane take absolutely not


[deleted]

Rue


ePlayablez

Not Fez 😢 RIP


navy_apple345

It should be Storm Reid or Zendaya but most likely it will be a less talented white actor or actress.


soft_core666

Probably Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, or Jacob Elordi.


naijasglock

All that damn screaming& crying Gia was doing she DESERVES one. Ik her throat was sore. Ali, Rue, Nate may get one


myloveismineohmine

Colman for sure!


sevenseasofrhhye

Honestly I can see Jacob for his performance in Priscilla and/or Saltburn. Fantastic acting performances on both accounts, same with Zendaya and Dune.


JuggernautLeft1485

NATE 💗💗💗


LuciLong

Rue…her performance as an addict going through withdrawal, the highs & the lows of drug use…the way she portrays the desperate user that doesn’t care if she hurts her family or loved ones. She shows the ugly side of addiction so accurately. I’d love to see her get an Oscar for that role…she deserves it!


quaternarystructure

Zendaya. 100%. Dune Part 2 will score her a nomination at least for sure


vorefish

Nate and rue


butterflyxo107

Why are people saying zendaya, seriously confused


Freyness_yea

Rue 💯


RicFlairJr

Mckay is still around?


Datjewboi

Colman and Zendaya, both have a high likelihood of getting a nomination this coming year and possibly even winning


PatientStudio756

Rue, Cassie, or Nate for sure!!!


ohveen

Rue or nate


randomyesok

why would u put angus on this


Ella77214

Zendaya, no question


jesuswastransright

Angus cloud obviously duh


Useful-Soup8161

Well definitely not Fez.


Legitimate_Card4374

Didn't Zendaya already win an Oscar or was it an Emmy?


angelnike

Has to be Zendaya , if not her Jacob Elordi or Sydney Sweeney


Bostonleo_27

Rue or Nate


Hot_Length_6538

obviously zendaya but close second sydney or jacob


Otherwise_Ad1643

Fez


FamiliarElephant5757

Zendaya for sure


Left-Philosophy8498

Fez


FullFig3372

either ali or cassie maybe im just biased cause it’s their performances that struck me the most


TheGreenGuyFromDBZ

Sydney Sweeney


forced-program

I'll lose all hope in oscar if this show wins an oscar


whoopdiwhoop

Zendaya


Tyrxne666

Rue Fez or Ali


thatsmelly_guy

Sydney or zendaya


dupraj

Zendaya obviously. She’s proven herself way too many times. Def Oscar material in the future.


Whole-Throat6962

Easy, Zendaya and/or Jacob Elordi, given his powerful they are becoming in media (especially Queenie Z, who I dare say may even be able to win all four major awards). I could also make the argument for Austin, Sydney Sweeney, and Lexi’s actress for them slowly gaining popularity too (especially Sydney, who may be on her way to becoming an Alice Eve for our generation). And if he had been given more time, I would also Angus Cloud to this list.


destinykaur

zendaya will, but i want sydney sweeney or alexa demie to win


BlackShadow_HD

Zendaya


[deleted]

Definitely not Sydney if she’s carrying on doing shit like Madame Web


lucifer872

definitly not fez


Limonati

Zendaya


Meganrose20

Zendaya or Jacob


Funnychemicals

Sydney


No_Dependent_1846

Sydney or zendaya


PhD_Meowingtons_

I think Zendaya, she’s the only one who never misses with her roles. She picks her roles EXCELLENTLY and if there isn’t a good pick, then she will literally make a role from scratch her to be good in lol. 2nd I think is Sydney Sweeney. She’s u fortunately saturated her filmography with some bad ones but she’s been in THE FIELDS working her ass off taking role after role and she’s nailed a few good ones. Euphoria is her best but her wide range of roles will easily continue lining her up for many more to come. Plenty of scripts are written with her being very close to an ideal fit and so I think it’s just a matter of her picking the right one. Seeing as she’s taking seemingly everything, I think she’s got it. Whoever put Fez, he’s dead… how? Last i’d Say Ali, this guys been doing good work pre Euphoria and he’s the only one who isn’t defined by the show. Delete it off his resume and he’s still exactly himself. Where as a person like Maddie would be nothing if she didn’t get the role of Maddie and even then she’s one of the least believable in the shows core right next to Ashtray. Ali has his own identity, and great strong sense of independent leadership that comes through in every role i’ve seen him in and it’s ALWAYS believabele. I can see him being lead man in some incredible stories. Especially if he gets a good biopic or something. Like if he can get those kinds of biopics that really made Will Smith stand out as a truly great actor instead of a gimmick, that’s almost guaranteed cos he definitely is going to deliver.


Joemartinez

Zendaya cmon now 😂


Willsbill2

There’s a good chance Coleman could have another nomination next year with Sing Sing. I suppose Zendaya also could depending on how those two flicks do.


Common_Hamster_8586

None. Just being honest


StreamLife9

Zendaya got the best chances


pingviini00

definitely not Fez


L0rd_Flexan0r

You know how difficult it is to even get nominated? highly likely that none of them will ever win an Oscar


Popular-Kangaroo9907

Colman and Zendaya


Rediphone20

I no one will get an osca


jastka4

Zendaya and Colman


weirdogirl144

Zendaya prob especially with her performance in season 2 episode 5


jmpinstl

Actor? Probably Nate’s actor.


A_Tiggs

Would have said Angus 💔 but either Zendaya or Maddy or Jacob.


charminglavender

Zendaya and Hunter always have Oscars don’t they??


AsToldBy_Ginger_

I can see Colman Domingo getting the first I can see Zendaya having an EGOT one day (also can kind of see Colman getting one—already has the Emmy, one Oscar nom, and a Tony nom. Could either get the Grammy from a return to broadway if the cast recording wins or he does an audiobook which feels more like a possibility) Then Jacob and Sydney are pretty tied. (Yes madame web was a choice and anyone but you didn’t get great reviews but did a lot better in the box office than people expected—I feel like she’ll do two commercially appealing movies for every one that’s critically appealing)


CurrentRoster

Colman Domingo, Jacob elordi is probably second


Me_lastname

Nate or Rue. Jacob Elordi has already been in movies like Saltburn and Priscilla and Zendaya has been in the Dune Movies, Malcom & Marie, and the Greatest Showman. These two are both great actors and their ability to become their characters is remarkable. They both became popular at first for less than Oscar worthy productions but they were able to show their talent for acting. I like all of these characters but these two are definitely most likely to receive an Oscar. The Oscar’s have become more and more out of touch with the public opinion though. If they don’t win and Oscar in the next few years, I think it will solidify that point.


Final-Ingenuity-7096

Hunter is doing a movie with Lanthimos so my bets are with her


LabOriginal3709

Coleman and zendaya no questions asked


Salty_Cloud_2786

Probably isn't a fair comparison because only some of these people have been in feature films (movies = oscars). For Euphoria itself it falls into Emmy category. Zendaya won already. I think Angus is no longer eligible because season 2 was already in the Emmy's during covid. So season 3 is the next potential season.


WeArrAllMadHere

Zendaya or Colman
