5.Annette Bening in Nyad
IMDb Rating of film: 7/10

Playing the role of a 64-year-old is not easy. Especially if it is Diana Nyad, the marathon swimmer who tries to become the first-ever person and woman to swim from Cuba to Florida. This incident happened in the early 2010s when Diana tried multiple times to cover this distance. But her age was a big factor. All the hardships faced by her, and how being headstrong at times like this becomes a fundamental factor is what drives the film to its end. The film received various nominations for Golden Globe Awards, SAG Awards, and more. It is a one-woman show done well.
Margot Robbie from Barbie should have also been added to the Best Actress nomination list as her character questioned many notions of patriarchy and took the film to the stature it deserved. However, as we wait to see who amongst these five takes the trophy home, stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
