In the latest installment of the Oscar Contenders series, Sophia and Nick discuss nominees for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Along with their write-in votes, who they think should win, and who they think will win, they\\u2019ll be sharing a scene from the film they think will be shown during the Oscars telecast.

Is Daniel Kaluuya the biggest lock in any of the acting categories? We discuss his excellent performance and awards run, LaKeith Stanfield\\u2019s surprise nomination, category fraud, and more, as we dive into all five performances nominated for Best Supporting Actor (3:15),

Next, they take a break with a special edition of Nom or Bomb: Category Fraud (27:56), where they go through some iconic Academy nominated performances and decide if the actor or actress was placed in the right category.

Then, they discuss what was once the most unpredictable category of the season, Best Supporting Actress (35:36). They discuss whether or not Yuh-Jung Youn is in the best position to win the Oscar after her SAG and BAFTA wins, Maria Bakalova\\u2019s awards season Cinderella story, and the performances of all five nominees in the category.
