Robert Downey Jr. in “Oppenheimer” had it easy this year.
He took the early lead in Gold Derby’s official Oscar odds for Best Supporting Actor. He widened that lead in the following months. He then swept the precursor awards. And despite landing in a powerhouse lineup that included Sterling K. Brown in “American Fiction,” Robert De Niro in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Ryan Gosling in “Barbie” and Mark Ruffalo in “Poor Things,” there was a “near zero” chance of Downey not being called to the stage to accept the Academy Award.
But not every past recipient of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar has cruised to victory like Downey. There have been numerous nail-biters over the years.
I recall one contest in particular from three decades ago. The 1993 fabulous five included first-time nominee Leonardo DiCaprio as the autistic younger brother of Johnny Depp in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” Ralph Fiennes...

He declined to say goodbye to his family before being led away, and now he sits in jail with visions of Ranger Esau Pierce’s (Barry Pepper) despicable actions flowing through his head.
A crowded courtroom listens as Judge Parker (Donald Sutherland) claims Bass’s case is no different from any others. He was tried for murder, and the verdict is…? The opening credits play before Parker reveals the answer.
After the credits, the first scene is a flashback to the events prior to Bass’s incarceration. Judge Parker and his wife...
