Nominees:
- Mary J. Blige (Mudbound)
- Allison Janney (I, Tonya)
- Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread)
- Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird)
- Octavia Spencer (The Shape of Water)
Not a bad performance within this group. That said, Allison Janney's performance was off-the-charts good. Laurie Metcalf had the misfortune of being nominated in the same year as did Allison Janney, as her performance was good enough to win most years.
Should Win: Allison Janney
Will Win: Allison Janney
