Oscar nom for Millicent Simmonds from A Quiet Place?

Probably wishful thinking, and the Oscars, as usual, being a bunch of snobs wouldn't ever consider it because they can't recognize a good piece of film unless it's a generic and cliche period piece. I thought Millicent Simmonds gave an amazing performance,... for a DEAF actress in A Quiet Place. As someone with a mild hearing loss myself and wears hearing aids sometimes and knows some sign language, I can appreciate a film when it does something and is committed to it that I can somewhat relate to on a personal level, and I know Simmonds performed the whole thing through sign language and even taught the entire cast. Acting is more than just speaking words, and Simmonds gave a powerful performance without words and I think it warrants some kind of Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. But as usual, the Oscars would never do that.
