Best Actress and Best Actor


Could Elliott Page become the first person to be nominated for both best actress and best actor at the Academy Awrds?

reply

Transpeople as a whole don’t get many acting roles in Hollywood in the first place. So if he doesn’t medically transition, will he naturally struggle getting roles as a man?

I could see the Razzie Awards putting "Elliott" up in both categories. They've previously nominated people for BOTH acting categories if they play duo male/female roles in a movie by doing drag and performing multiple characters (Adam Sadler up for Worst Actor AND Worst Actress by playing Jack and Jill Sadelstein in the same movie, Eddie Murphy up for Worst Actor and Worst Actress for male and female characters he played in Norbit, etc.)

Of course, "Elliott" will have portray a male character in a film to be nominated, I assume. Unless they want to make a nomination on a technicality because it was a female character but the credits on screen read "Elliot Page" anyway...)

In theory, but Page is a fairly one-note performer. This is sad because Page could have been the next Meryl Streep when you factor in the potential: https://popcultmaster.com/2015/10/14/the-next-meryl-streep/
