It’s admittedly early to talk about the 2027 Oscars, but two stars are already predicted to be the main contenders for the Best Lead Actor award. For the 2026 Academy Awards, the battle for the Oscar in this category was difficult to predict. Timothée Chalamet’s performance in Marty Supreme was the early frontrunner before Sinners’ Michael B. Jordan swooped in with a late surge to take home the prize. A similar situation could occur for next year’s 99th Academy Awards, which is scheduled to air on March 14, 2027. The good news, though, is that a win for either of these two early favorites would give them their first acting Oscar win after having long, illustrious careers in Hollywood.
