Following the fourth season of “The Bear,” its two leading actors have Oscar-worthy films set to release within only three months. FX’s critically-acclaimed culinary drama boasts several performers who have previously won Emmys, such as Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colón-Zayas, Jon Bernthal, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Moreover, the show has provided a platform for the rise of some of its newer talents.
Apart from playing a leading role in the dramatic production at A24 titled “The Iron Claw“, White has also been chosen to lend his voice to Rotta the Hutt for the upcoming “Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu” film, set to hit screens in May 2026. Conversely, Edebiri is more inclined towards independent films, including comedies like “Bottoms” and “Theater Camp“, as well as the A24 horror movie “Opus“.
With the launch of Season 4 for “The Bear”, White and Edebiri are set to debut their upcoming films within the next three months. These talented actors might even earn nominations at the 98th Academy Awards scheduled for 2026.
Jeremy Allen White & Ayo Edebiri’s Oscars 2026 Contenders Explained
They Star In Deliver Me From Nowhere & After The Hunt
Jeremy Allen White portrays Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming musical biopic, “Deliver Me from Nowhere.” This movie, set to release soon, narrates the story behind the creation of Springsteen’s 1982 album, “Nebraska,” a crucial period in the life of the budding artist as he teetered on the edge of fame, wrestling with the pressures of success and the haunting remnants of his past.
The trailer for the film titled “Deliver Me from Nowhere” was unveiled in June, catapulting the actor into discussions for awards. Notably, he lends his own voice to the movie, and it bears a striking resemblance to Bruce Springsteen’s singing. Towards the end of the trailer, White effectively embodies Springsteen’s dynamic stage persona during a live rendition of “Born to Run.
In a different turn of events, Edebiri is featured in Luca Guadagnino’s film titled “After the Hunt,” where a college professor confronts her hidden past when one of her colleagues faces a grave accusation. Notable actors like Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield are also part of the ensemble cast for this movie. Interestingly, both films – “Deliver Me from Nowhere” and “After the Hunt” – are set to debut in October during awards season.
Which The Bear Star Has A Better Chance Of Oscars Glory?
White Has The Clear Advantage
Jeremy Allen White is strongly favored in the Oscar competition, thanks to his powerful portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in the film “Deliver Me from Nowhere“. It’s worth noting that musical biopics tend to strike a chord with Academy members, as evidenced by Rami Malek winning an Oscar for embodying Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody” – a feat that often adds weight when the actor contributes their own vocals and fully embraces the role physically.
Yet, it’s important not to underestimate Edebiri, given that Guadagnino has a track record of directing critically-praised performances. For instance, he directed Timothée Chalamet in “Call Me By Your Name,” which garnered him his first Oscar nomination. In the same vein, Guadagnino may draw out a career-making performance from Edebiri in “After the Hunt.
The Oscars Contention Highlights A Problem For The Bear
The Cast Will Be Busy
The argument put forth by White and Edebiri about “The Bear” being Oscar-worthy presents a challenge, as the cast members are likely to be occupied with other productions and award season campaigns for those projects. Furthermore, Moss-Bachrach is set to portray Ben Grimm/The Thing in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” and will reappear in “Avengers: Doomsday” in 2026 and “Avengers: Secret Wars” in 2027.
The reason for this is that although season 5 of “The Bear” has been given the green light, it might not start filming immediately. Despite the cast members being nominated for Oscars, which is thrilling, it could lead to scheduling issues that postpone the production of future seasons.
