Phillip Seymour Hoffman-Synechdoche New York (the movie will be met with mixed response but strong enough for him to get in with the weak field)<BR/>5. James Franco-Pineapple Express (great place to honor his strong year that easy replacements would be Seth Rogen for Zack and Miri or if they can look over the flops of their movies, either Ricky Gervais in Ghost Town or Steve Coogan in Hamlet 2)<BR/><BR/>Best Actress:<BR/><BR/>1.

Yes, she's having a hot year, but so was Katherine Heigl last year with the success of Knocked Up. KU made more money at the box office, and had more critical acclaim than Baby Mama possessed. <BR/><BR/>I think Meryl will make it in Musical and Comedy solely for the "We HAD to nominate a musical for the category's title sake." After all, they DID nominate Beyonce in the same category for Dreamgirls a few years back. <BR/><BR/>And I actually don't think the Aniston pick is that far off the mark.

And Faris' reviews were nigh on raves even if the film itself was as kindly met. Perhaps I'm daydreaming, perhaps I'm not, but I really think she is a contender.<BR/><BR/>Or, if not her why not Katherine Heigl for <I>27 Dresses</I>. Or Tina Fey (who's so hot right now as we all know) for <I>Baby Mama</I>. Or, hell, even Abigail Breslin for <I>All American Girl</I> got some good reviews.
