During awards season, it’s common for actors to find themselves with multiple films generating buzz. Scarlett Johansson is currently in this unique position, poised to receive her first Oscar nomination possibly.
This year, Johansson has delivered standout performances in two acclaimed films: Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit” and Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story.”
These roles have earned her critical praise and positioned her as a strong contender for supporting and leading actress categories.
Despite her long career in the industry, Johansson has never received an Oscar nomination. Since her breakout in Sofia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation” in 2003, she’s been a prominent figure in Hollywood. However, she often found herself typecast as the “hot leading lady,” overshadowing her acting talent.
It wasn’t until her role in “Her” in 2013, where her voiceover performance garnered acclaim, that Johansson was recognized for her acting prowess. Despite the praise, she was still overlooked for an Oscar nomination.
Now, at 34, with an impressive career behind her, Johansson is back in the awards season spotlight. “Jojo Rabbit” and “Marriage Story” have received critical acclaim, showcasing Johansson’s versatility and depth as an actress.
While history suggests she may again be snubbed for a nomination, many believe this year could be different. Johansson has repeatedly proven herself, shedding the “sexy girl” image to deliver compelling, raw performances.
With the universal acclaim for her recent work, it seems likely that Scarlett Johansson may finally receive the recognition she deserves.
