Fresh off an emotional awards-season rise, Teyana Taylor is stepping into Oscar night with real momentum, and the industry is paying attention.
Taylor and “One Battle After Another” are extending their hot streak as the 98th Academy Awards approach, airing March 15. Just days after her Golden Globes win for Best Supporting Actress, Taylor is back in the conversation with another nomination in the same category. According to Vanity Fair, the 35-year-old creative force continues to earn critical praise for her portrayal of Perfidia Beverly Hills, a performance that has quietly become one of the season’s standouts.
The road to an Oscar win is stacked. Taylor is competing against heavy hitters, including Elle Fanning, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Amy Madigan, and Wunmi Mosaku, for “Sentimental Value,” “Weapons,” and “Sinners.” It is a competitive lineup, yet Taylor enters the race with serious momentum. ABC previously reported in November that her odds in the category were strong, signaling that voters are locked in.
Beyond Taylor’s nomination, “One Battle After Another” is having a major night, earning 13 total nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. With the ceremony closing in, all eyes are on March 15 to see just how far this run goes.
