If Mulligan doesn't win then i would say it is between Streep and Sidibe; Bullock could snatch it because this the the best performance she has done in a film. Mirren is definatly not going to win because the competition is better than her performance.<br />Performances out of 5:<br />Carey Mulligan = 5<br />Meryl Streep = 4 and a half<br />Gabourey Sidibe = 4 and a half<br />Sandra Bullock = 4<br />Helen Mirren = 3 and a half or 4<br />People who could snatch a nomination from Mirren : <br />1) Emily Blunt <br />2) Abbie Cornish <br />3) Saorise Ronan<br />So that's about everything i can think of saying, we will just have to wait for the BAFTA Nominations to see who probably be nominated for an ACADEMY AWARD!!! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78294219957295803482010-01-08T18:08:28.882-05:002010-01-08T18:08:28.882-05:00OMG, YOU ARE ALL CRAZY!!

The definante to win though is fellow brit Carey Mulligan, she is sensational in An Education. If an education was released next yer and therefore carey couldn't get nominated; then i would put my money on Sandra Bullock because she deserved it after all the years in the buisness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5795945034398277842009-12-28T12:26:58.926-05:002009-12-28T12:26:58.926-05:00oh wow, I read ALL OF THE POSTS and I'm so pro...oh wow, I read ALL OF THE POSTS and I'm so proud of myself LOL. I will defend Streep and I do think I'm right about this one-she did a FINE performance in J&J, she was fun to watch, she felt so real and I always had a smile on my face while watching her; how can people even compare Streep in J&J to Hepburn in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" and then talking about lightweight performances, has anyone seen "Bringing Up Baby?" the movie has perfect timing and Kate is so good there :) <br /><br />Meryl's Julia is better than Meryl's Dragon in Doubt; people forget about the fact that Meryl will win because the Julia Child performance is different and unique; <br /><br />I don't care about what people say, Sandra was NOT good, and she deserves to stay oscar nom free; <br /><br />I'd love to see Emily Blunt as a substitute :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731831712362994812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-47742102129598152302009-12-23T15:37:00.571-05:002009-12-23T15:37:00.571-05:00The five nominees should be:

I genuinely think it's one of her best ever performances. She's created one of the most joyous characters I've ever seen on screen, one who demands her actress to run the whole gamut of emotions throughout the course of the film. And that Valentine's dinner party scene - in which she makes her 'heart' flutter - is one of those moments for the Meryl canon. ;-)amir_uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-76551478088845323412009-12-22T02:44:05.901-05:002009-12-22T02:44:05.901-05:00@ Carl

That's the reason the film has gotten the nods it has so far, even before it opened here a few days ago to a respectable if mediocre Metacritic 61. (Most scores are in the 70s and 80s; it was taken down by Film Threat, <i>TimeOut NY</i> and <i>The Village Voice</i>.)Paul Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223551781533342142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-41294781549774713982009-12-21T22:48:10.265-05:002009-12-21T22:48:10.265-05:00No one needs a third Oscar.

Two ...There's almost sure to be some surprises. Two weeks ago, we never would have considered Emily Blunt for The Young Victoria. A month or so ago, we wouldn't have considered Sandra Bullock. (At least I wasn't thinking of them, although I haven't seen their movies so I'm not saying anything about the calibre of the performances).<br /><br />I'm not sure that Mirren is the most vulnerable though. The Last Station seems to be a very actor-friendly movie. IF the voters have screeners of the film, they might choose to watch it instead of something more demanding. Actually, it seems a lot like "Julie and Julia" in my mind, terrific actress does a take on a historical character in a lighter drama.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-67904582897489530952009-12-21T20:25:04.720-05:002009-12-21T20:25:04.720-05:00Maybe people feel that Laurent is superior to Krug...Maybe people feel that Laurent is superior to Kruger because art is subjective and not everyone will share each other's opinions? <br /><br />Side note: The issue is not that there was a typo on the website but the fact that they have switched her campaign.Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-74404511967959319442009-12-21T19:30:07.255-05:002009-12-21T19:30:07.255-05:00i agree with you steve. some think just the oppos...i agree with you steve. some think just the opposite and say streep fans need the award more than streep. i think meryl needs this one bad, after 12 or 13 losses in a row. i also think she's deserving too.brandznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-23786840558596095272009-12-21T19:01:08.428-05:002009-12-21T19:01:08.428-05:00all i know is that Streep needs this award far, fa...all i know is that Streep needs this award far, far more than any other actressstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462181491307557725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30857684160473386492009-12-21T18:20:37.119-05:002009-12-21T18:20:37.119-05:00yeah, I'm not sure why people think Laurent is...yeah, I'm not sure why people think Laurent is superior to Kruger (they're both very good).
