Los Angeles, California - Zendaya has reportedly led the charge to earn her first Oscar nomination on the back of her acclaimed tennis-centric flick, Challengers.

The 28-year-old's electric performance as former sports pro Tashi Duncan wowed fans and critics alike when the movie hit theaters in April.

While the hype quickly sparked up some Oscars buzz for Zendaya, a new report has revealed that she is feeling optimistic about her chances.

"Zendaya wouldn't have pushed for this Oscar campaign if she didn't think she at least had a shot," an inside source told Life & Style on Thursday.

Cardi B Cardi B slams non-payment lawsuit: "Iron your best suit b***h I'll see you in court!"

"Even though she was proud of the movie, she genuinely didn't think it would make the money it has or get the critical acclaim that it has."

Zendaya also served as a producer on Challengers, where she starred alongside Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist.

The Euphoria actor is said to have the "full backing" of Amy Pascal, a notable executive in the industry, in her campaign.

But she'll face some formidable competition for Best Actress, as Angelina Jolie and Amy Adams are both eyeing nods of their own.

Jolie has been making waves with her role in the Maria Callas biopic from director Pablo Larraín, while Adams is taking the lead in the buzzy adaptation of Nightbitch.

According to insiders, Challengers "has already earned its seat at the table," and Zendaya may end up being a true force to be reckoned with this awards season!
