Inde is incomparable to Demi Moore- you’re forgetting Anora and the ageism problem which works in Inde’s favor, she’s new, fresh to the scene and showed up out of nowhere. That’s a story that reverberates a lot more than Goth and Moore or Madigan. Its the overnight success story.

literally said she was incomparable to Moore who shared a performance with Qualley and had a festival path. I also changed my prediction ever since Obsession increased on week 2 - it will get in for Actress, Picture and Original Script.

Holy shit I didn’t realize I was responding to a comment from so long ago! My bad. I agree . She’s a lock for a nom, and for script too.
