Until very recently, Robert Downey Jr. has been tipped to win the Best Supporting Actor award at the upcoming Oscars ceremony for his incredible turn as Lewis Strauss in director Christopher Nolan's much acclaimed epic Oppenheimer. However, a new contender has arrived on the scene, one who could be set to take home the golden gong.
If you have been keeping up with awards buzz, you will be aware that of course we are talking about Charles Melton, the former Riverdale star who has delivered a sublime performance in drama May December. In Carol director Todd Haynes' latest movie, Melton portrays Joe, the husband of Julianne Moore's Gracie who is being studied by actor Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) for an upcoming movie. Why is a film being made about Joe and Gracie you may ask? Well, they caused a tabloid scandal 20 years prior as the relationship started when Joe was a minor, sending Gracie to jail.
