‘Obsession’ Star Inde Navarrette Officially Set to Campaign for Best Actress Oscar!

It’s official!

Here at Dread, we’ve been pushing for star Inde Navarrette to receive an Oscar for her role as Nikki in Curry Barker‘s hit horror movie, Obsession. Now, Variety reports that Focus Features is officially pushing forward with a wide-ranging Oscar campaign for the film, including Inde for Best Actress!

The outlet notes that, aside from Navarrette, Focus Features also plans to campaign hard for Obsession in multiple other categories.

Here’s the full list of what Focus is shooting for:

• Best Picture
• Best Director — Curry Barker
• Best Actress — Inde Navarrette
• Best Actor — Michael Johnston
• Best Supporting Actor — Cooper Tomlinson
• Best Supporting Actress — Megan Lawless
• Best Supporting Actor — Andy Richter
• Original Screenplay — Curry Barker
• Film Editing — Curry Barker
• Cinematography — Taylor Clemons
• Original Score — Rock Burwell
• Casting — Skyler Zurn
• Sound — YJ Gold (production sound mixer) and Ben Zarai (supervising sound editor, rerecording mixer)
• Makeup and Hairstyling — Allie Shehorn (makeup and hair department head)
• Production Design — Vivian Gray

None of this comes as a surprise, by the way. For starters, Obsession just became the highest-grossing original film of the decade. That’s enough to grab the attention it needs to secure an Oscar run. Despite wildly different takes from viewers, it’s also one of the more universally beloved horror titles that’s been released in recent memory.

In his review for Dread, Josh Korngut called “the next-gen horror masterpiece I wasn’t prepared for”. He was right. None of us were prepared for what Barker delivered.
