But that's really not ever what happens. Context matters, and narratives come into play. Always.

Caissie Levy will not be nominated because she never is because she’s not great. Kristin, Marla Mindelle, Pitts, the two ladies from beaches."

You are very sad.

Agreed! Totally inappropriate on this board! Be respectful! There are ways of saying things that one can disagree with without name calling!

I wouldn't say narratives are taken into account every time. We especially see at the Oscars how passion wins over sentiment more often than not.

I don’t even think YOU believe this BS you keep spouting.

I mean I'd say both the performance AND Caissie's overall legacy will help. The respect she has in the industry, long career, never been previously nominated, etc etc will play in her favor on top of a very beautiful and nuanced performance as Mother.
