Actor in a Leading Role

Daniel Day-Lewis Net Worth: $50 million

Daniel Kaluuya Net Worth: Unknown

“Get Out”

Daniel Kaluuya’s performance in “Get Out” earned him not just an Oscar nod, but two SAG Award nominations and two Golden Globe nominations, as well.

Gary Oldman Net Worth: $40 million

“Darkest Hour”

Gary Oldman’s performance in “Darkest Hour” already earned him a SAG Award and a coveted Golden Globe award — and he’s going for a sweep at the Academy Awards.

Denzel Washington Net Worth: $220 million

“Roman J. Israel, Esq.”

One of the biggest leading men in Hollywood history, Denzel Washington’s list of visits to the Academy Awards is longer than some actors’ entire resumes. Washington won Oscars for “Training Day” and “Glory” and was nominated for six more Academy Awards, including, “Malcolm X,” “Cry Freedom” and “The Hurricane.”

Actress in a Leading Role

All five women nominated in the Actress in a Leading Role category are seasoned Hollywood veterans. All five have already earned nominations, wins or both at major awards ceremonies like the Oscars, SAG Awards and the Golden Globes. Four of the five movies in this category are also nominated for Best Picture.

Sally Hawkins Net Worth: $1.5 million

“The Shape of Water”

Sally Hawkins’ lead role in “The Shape of Water” is just one of 13 nominations the Guillermo del Toro film received — and it’s not Hawkins’ first trip to the Oscars. She was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 2014 for her performance in “Blue Jasmine.” The Golden Globe-winning actress has 52 credits dating back to 1996 for roles on both the big and small screens.

Frances McDormand Net Worth: $16 million

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”

Frances McDormand is no stranger to awards shows.

Margot Robbie Net Worth: $8 million

“I, Tonya”

Ronan received Academy Award nominations for her lead role in 2015’s “Brooklyn” and her supporting role in 2008’s “Atonement.” She also received Golden Globe nominations for both.

Meryl Streep Net Worth: $90 million

Actor in a Supporting Role

The Best Actor in a Supporting Role category is dominated in 2018 by familiar faces who have been Hollywood mainstays for decades. One peculiarity about this year’s Oscars is that two of the five nominations in this category are for supporting roles in the same movie.

Willem Dafoe Net Worth: $30 million

“The Florida Project”

“The Florida Project” earned Willem Dafoe not just an Oscar nomination, but also a nomination for a SAG Award and a Golden Globe.

His resume includes “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Indecent Proposal,” “No Country for Old Men” and the “Hunger Games” franchise. Harrelson is no slouch on the small screen either, with key roles in shows like “Cheers” and “True Detective.”

Richard Jenkins Net Worth: $8 million

“The Shape of Water”

“The Visitor” already earned Richard Jenkins one Oscar nomination, and now, thanks to “The Shape of Water,” he’s got another under his belt.

Christopher Plummer Net Worth: $20 million

“All the Money in the World”

With a whopping 212 credits dating back to 1953, Christopher Plummer is one of Hollywood’s most enduring actors. This decade, however, has been one of the very best in his entire career. Plummer was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 and won an Academy Award in 2012 for his supporting role in “Beginners.” He’s up for another Oscar this year for his role in “All the Money in the World.”

Best Picture

The granddaddy of all Oscars is the Academy Award for Best Picture. This year’s crop of candidate movies includes two World War II films, several movies that have already won other awards and the rare horror movie nomination in the coveted category. A lot of these films are still raking in money in theaters, but several are already amongst the highest-grossing films of the year.

“Call Me by Your Name”

Domestic Box Office Total: $9,135,264

Called “a gorgeous, intoxicating love story” by Entertainment Weekly, “Call Me by Your Name” has been nominated for four Oscars: Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Song.

“Darkest Hour”

Domestic Box Office Total: $41,085,957

According to Deadline, Gary Oldman spent 200 hours in the makeup chair to become Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour” — but his efforts just might pay off. The publication is calling him the “Oscar Best Actor frontrunner” for the movie, which received a total of six Oscar nominations.

“Dunkirk”

Domestic Box Office Total: $188,045,546

Although he’s the mind behind films like “Inception,” “Memento,” “Interstellar” and “The Dark Knight,” Christopher Nolan has struggled for recognition at the Academy Awards, according to The Insider — or at least he used to. Best Picture is just one of eight Oscar nods “Dunkirk” earned this year.

“Get Out”

Domestic Box Office Total: $175,686,870

It’s been called a thriller, horror movie and a comedy, but no matter what box the genre-morphing “Get Out” ends up in, the Jordan Peele-directed film that addresses race in America is already a winner at the box office and remained popular long after its debut. The film was nominated for four Oscars.

“Lady Bird”

Domestic Box Office Total: $39,167,960

According to People, “Lady Bird” represents writer Greta Gerwig’s transition from Indie film superstar to a mainstream success story.

“Phantom Thread”

Domestic Box Office Total: $6,385,599

“The Post”

Domestic Box Office Total: $45,763,616

The credits that run at the end of “The Post” include famed names like Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and Steven Spielberg. With a talent pool like that, it’s no wonder the film earned two Academy Award nominations. Its well-timed subject matter also didn’t hurt. The movie explores the journalists who exposed the Pentagon papers at a time when government secrecy and the media are in the real-life spotlight.

“The Shape of Water”

Domestic Box Office Total: $30,441,204

Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” is the 800-pound gorilla in this year’s pool of nominees.

The Wall Street Journal is calling the human-amphibian love story “an early front-runner in the Oscar race.”
