“There’s nothing I could say that articulates how proud I am of this one,” Cameron’s caption reads.
The Oscars will be held on March 4, and predictions about this year’s winners are already somewhat divided. The race for Best Picture will most likely come down to a standoff between The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. The top contenders for Best Supporting Actress are heavy-hitters Allison Janney and Laurie Metcalf. The predicted winner for the Best Actress category is Frances McDormand, with Saoirse Ronan as the second-most-likely victor.
Robbie currently holds fourth place in FiveThirtyEight’s Best Actress prediction scale, so it is unlikely that she will take home the golden statue this year. However, she’s leading against Meryl Streep, so she’s also in astoundingly great company. This is likely to be the first of many Oscar nods for this leading lady.
Besides — isn’t the perennial cliché that it’s an honor just to be nominated?
