- Only films that came out in 2022 are eligible. Sorry M3GAN, you’ll have to wait until next year.
- This isn’t a ranking. The actors are listed in alphabetical order.
- I split up lead acting performances from supporting acting performances.
- This is only for films. TV performances don’t count.
- This is all based on my opinion, not critical success, box office numbers, or awards received (although I may factor those things in). Another actor in the Oscar hunt for playing multiple roles is Janelle Monae. The multi-hyphenate star is a scene stealer in this Knives Out sequel. She starts the film as one of the suspects brought to the private island home of a tech billionaire, but as the plot unfolds, you realize that she’s actually playing a pair of twins. The twins couldn’t be more different (one has an outlandish southern accent that the other somehow rid herself of), and Monae does a phenomenal job flopping back and forth between the two and even playing one pretending to be the other. The degree of difficulty here is certainly high.
