And really, I only predicted that performance because I thought it would be cool to be the only one to predict it.<BR/><BR/> I didn't think Hathaway would be good, didn't think BLINDNESS would be bad, and I didn't think that The Young Victoria would languish without a distributor. What's up with that? Nathaniel, I think Anna Paquin should have an honorary slot in this game until Margaret is released. She can be like Jessica Lange.

Sally Hawkins has New York Film Critics Circle and LAFCA. No actress in the past who has garnered BOTH of these honors in the past has ever failed to get a best actress nomination. True, yes. <BR/><BR/>Angelina Jolie has nailed every precursor, like she did last year. To miss twice in a row under these circumstances would also be unprecedented. But stranger things have happened. Either Hawkins or Jolie could be shoved aside for Leo or Scott-Thomas, in that order. This is an insanely competitive race. And don't expect the Golden Globes to clear things up. Meryl is going to win drama, with Winslet and Hathaway as possible spoilers. Hawkins is going to win Comedy, but that doesn't mean anything. Crazy crazy competitive. And then there's Aniston, who could totally turn the race on its ear :)The Pretentious Know it Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279181033628364368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84915592969340707922008-12-21T20:28:00.000-05:002008-12-21T20:28:00.000-05:00I think if Winslet goes supporting for Reader, she...I think if Winslet goes supporting for <EM>Reader</EM>, she steals it from Cruz, and Hawkins probably wins lead.

I hope the BAFTA's throw a curveball with Blanchett to open up the field a bit. That would bode well for any actress on the fringe. <BR/><BR/>Right now my lineup:<BR/>1. Anne Hathaway<BR/>2. Melissa Leo<BR/>3. Michelle Williams<BR/>4. Julianne Moore (Savage Grace)<BR/>5. Nicole Kidman, Australia<BR/><BR/>Honestly, this year is turning out to be stronger than I'd hoped. This isn't a bad lineup considering how much (Streep, Winslet, Thomas, Hawkins, Blanchett) I still need to see. I'm also expecting Emma Thompson to have a great shot at cracking my top-whatever for Last Chance Harvey.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622435513032131426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59217514473068373802008-12-21T18:48:00.000-05:002008-12-21T18:48:00.000-05:00Damn you, Blindness, and your not being well-recei...Damn you, <EM>Blindness</EM>, and your not being well-received.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
