Will Win: Demi Moore, “The Substance”In recent years, the Oscars have loved feel-good career awards. Think Michelle Yeoh and Brendan Fraser. This would be 62-year-old Moore’s first Oscar ever, and she hasn’t been shy about that. The one thing going against G.I. Jane is the divisiveness of her body-horror flick.

But well-liked Saldana has kept winning regardless. She gives an intense and deeply felt turn as a lawyer whisked on a musical (and soap-operatic) journey.
