I just like to keep lists as the year goes by for consideration in my own awards. Oscar isn't as broad minded -- they couldn't be because with 1000s of voters peculiarities naturally get watered down.<br /><br /> This is why i find people's individual favorites so interesting. They usually contain some stowaway performances from genres unloved by big awards groups.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-21650738944989253472009-10-30T19:18:34.581-04:002009-10-30T19:18:34.581-04:00My 5:

I can see Universal push a hard campaign for her here) and Laurent (I don't see it happening but people aren't forgetting her. Maybe the chatter could generate something. If she manages to snag a critics award or two over Mo'Nique, who knows, it may snowball in her favor towards a nomination.)Tylosaurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88090511735820939362009-10-30T07:14:16.172-04:002009-10-30T07:14:16.172-04:00Oh and Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies) would be ...Oh and Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies) would be a very close 7th on my list.

I know. I can't choose between them yet...<br /><br />Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson, Olivia Williams aka the Education girls - roles all too minor (especially Thompson, hello, she said, like, two lines!) and characters too one note for consideration.<br /><br />Vera Farmiga didn't really do it for me (again, good performance, very thin character who gets forgotten about for a whole chunk of the film) and I'd be rather annoyed if Kendrick gets passed over but Farmiga gets in.<br /><br />Why is no one buzzing about Paula Patton in Precious?

You moved Carey (whose chances, I think, are better than people are thinking) all the way to 18 and removed Clarkson completely? I mean, Alice Krige is on the list before them. And so are unknowns whose films have come and they've gotten very little fanfare (Kerry Fox, Diane Kruger, Emma Thompson).

I was at a screening a couple of days ago followed by a Q&A with Lee Daniels and Gabby Sidibe, and I am still astonished by the transformations he accomplished with at least five of the actors in <i>Precious</i>. Sidibe, Carey (excellent), Kravitz (very pleasant) and Mo'Nique appear to be nothing like the characters they portray. The biggest surprise, however, was seeing the abominable Sherri Shepherd's name in the end credits. She was unrecognizable during the movie, and I actually enjoyed her few scenes.Paul Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223551781533342142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-62619426129364124962009-10-30T03:17:58.506-04:002009-10-30T03:17:58.506-04:00I think they're all supporting.

And there are enough twists and turns that we don't really stay with anyone enough for a real lead connection.<br /><br />I think Waltz comes closest, actually, but he's so much of an impenetrable antagonist, in the Anton Chigurgh vein, that I think a supporting campaign is defensible.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51124117217780188892009-10-30T01:06:03.634-04:002009-10-30T01:06:03.634-04:00Alex... agreed that Adams was a better Amelia than...Alex... agreed that Adams was a better Amelia than Swank :)<br /><br />Adelutza ... yeah, i'm still debating about INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. are they all supporting? or are Pitt, Laurent and Waltz leads?

More and more she's emerging in my mind as the favourite part of the entire film - and yes, that includes Mulligan. I feel like I shouldn't favour her over Mo'Nique, because the character seems so much more... inconsequential (?), but honestly, that's the way I'm leaning. (Mo'Nique is still fantastic, of course, and I won't quarrel with her inevitable win.)<br /><br />Melanie Laurent is also a big favourite of mine. My ballot before the LFF was almost empty, though... although have to agree with Nick M's mention of Edith Scob, the one brilliant part of such a disappointing film.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825700768032126915noreply@blogger.com
