Written and directed by Jacobs, “His Three Daughters” portrays the story of three estranged sisters reuniting to care for their terminally ill father in his Brooklyn home. The film premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was acquired by Netflix for a reported $7 million . It has since garnered positive reviews, maintaining a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety’s chief film critic, Owen Gleiberman, wrote in praise of the film : “‘His Three Daughters’ is the work of a filmmaker who has finally come into his own. Azazel Jacobs was always talented. Now he’s a major force in the industry.”

Award season often presents a challenge when multiple stars from the same film are vying for similar awards. While some films have successfully navigated this, like Yorgos Lanthimos' “The Favourite” (2018), which saw Olivia Colman win Best Actress and Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz nominated for supporting roles, others haven't been as fortunate. F. Gary Gray's “Straight Outta Compton” (2015) saw its breakout stars — Corey Hawkins, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Jason Mitchell — submit in the supporting actor category without receiving any nominations. With a highly competitive field expected in best supporting actress this year , especially among Netflix contenders like Danielle Deadwyler (“The Piano Lesson”), Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldaña (“Emilia Pérez”), the outcome for “His Three Daughters” remains uncertain despite the cast's acclaimed performances.

Among the cast, Lyonne, who has the most screen time, portrays Rachel, the non-biological daughter who’s become her father’s primary caregiver as he enters hospice care. Lyonne, who rose to fame in films like “American Pie” (1999) and in the hit series “Orange Is the New Black,” has been nominated for five Emmys, including for her roles in “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face.” In “His Three Daughters,” she delivers her most subtle and nuanced performance, skillfully using her distinctive raspy voice and commanding presence to convey deep layers.

Coon, fresh off her second Emmy nomination for HBO/Max’s “The Gilded Age,” plays Katie, the eldest and most authoritative of the sisters. Known as an actor’s actor, Coon has already proven her dramatic prowess with a Tony nomination for the 2012 revival of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and pivotal roles in films like “Gone Girl” and “The Nest.” It’s a career-best turn, and she could be a contender if vote-splitting doesn’t become a hurdle.

Olsen, who portrays Christina, the emotionally grounded middle sister caught between her feuding siblings, delivers another example of her deep talent. An Emmy nominee for her role as Wanda Maximoff in Disney/Marvel’s “WandaVision,” she’s built a reputation for taking on complex, emotionally charged roles . From her breakout in “Martha Marcy May Marlene” to her menacing turn in HBO/Max’s “Love & Death” miniseries, she’s continued to stretch herself in indie and blockbuster films.

Historically, voters have often recognized two nominees from the same film, making it one of the few categories where such overlap is frequent. This trend could work in favor of the ensemble cast, potentially placing them all in the running. Nonetheless, competition is fierce this season.

In addition to its potential for acting nominations, “His Three Daughters” could also contend for recognition in other prominent categories. These include best picture, director, and original screenplay for Jacobs, and original score and song (“In Time”), composed and performed by Rodrigo Amarante.

“His Three Daughters” is currently streaming on Netflix.
