I'm loving your blog entries even more as of ...Hey! I'm loving your blog entries even more as of late. I'm working on a couple of my own, now that my computer is working. We should definitely talk Oscars sometime too, among other things.<BR/><BR/>But anyway, actress...it's at the same time a tough call but easy to predict. Most of the women in contention either star in movies of suck quality (Blanchett, Witherspoon) or have little momentum (Jolie) to land them a nod. Occasionally, it's a mix of both (Foster).<BR/><BR/>That leaves us with a much easier lineup to work with.<BR/><BR/>First off, I should inform you that Connelly is confirmed as supporting, as was Streep a couple weeks prior. Franky though, it doesn't bode well for either, since both are on the verge of failure. (Reservation Road was panned at TIFF, though I still want to see it, and Lions for Lambs blatantly conveys what preachy crap it really is--this coming from a liberal =).)<BR/><BR/>On the flipside of things, Bonham Carter is now a LEAD, as officially noted at GoldDerby. Also missing from the list is Thurman for In Bloom.<BR/><BR/>I find it just a bit absurd that so many are rallying around Knightley. All the Brits have either found her to be adequate or underwhelming. Atonement is really all about McAvoy, and a little bit about Ronan. But she's still getting in, I'd say.<BR/><BR/>Here's my take:<BR/><BR/>1) Marion Cotillard, <I>La Vie En Rose</I><BR/>2) Laura Linney, <I>The Savages</I><BR/>3) Julie Christie, <I>Away from Her</I><BR/>4) Keira Knightley, <I>Atonement</I><BR/>5) Ellen Page, <I>Juno</I><BR/>--------<BR/>6) Nicole Kidman, <I>Margot at the Wedding</I><BR/>7) Julianne Moore, <I>Savage Grace</I><BR/>8) Keri Russell, <I>Waitress</I><BR/><BR/>Frankly, I'd prefer Russell over Knightley...but that's a bit of a stretch. Still, wit Fox Searchlight's DVD campaign, you never know....ePastor Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650421834002422666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-57204366795195277842007-09-21T12:23:00.000-06:002007-09-21T12:23:00.000-06:00@ mary ann...i agree jodie is a great actress. I t...@ mary ann...i agree jodie is a great actress. I think she's did more challenging stuff in the 90s (silence of the lambs, nell, sommersby, contact) then in 00's (panic room, flightplan, insideman)<BR/><BR/>@ jeremy, cate will probably definitly get a nod for i'm not there, but it'll surely be supporting.<BR/><BR/>@ michael, yea...i just don't know who would slip in for the LEAD catagory...for supporting, there's always an odd one that can find their way in the spot...and plus many of those other unique nominees happened in weaker years...not when so many former winners were clawing for the same five spots.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-16910537731094344802007-09-21T10:52:00.000-06:002007-09-21T10:52:00.000-06:00I have been having this problem as well.

Who will it be.<BR/><BR/>Jodie, Cate, Julie, Marion, Keira, Ellen, Halle, Laura, Sigourney, Keri, Angelina, Catheirne are all in with a chance. <BR/><BR/>But isn;t there always one late entry to shake things up? Samantha Morton? Anna Paquin? Sophie Okonedo? or even Anamaria Marinca?Michael Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668853285292187310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-72930518289137115012007-09-20T21:00:00.000-06:002007-09-20T21:00:00.000-06:00What about Cate Blanchett for "I'm Not There"?
