| Julia
Roberts - Closer |
She
gets to play edgy, sexy and sharp tounged in a Mike Nichols film |
| Kate
Winslet - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Min |
A
brilliant performance and an actress Oscar likes |
| Renee
Zellweger - Bridget Jones: Edge Of Reason |
Academy
might be tired for voting for her and it's a comedy, but already
a beloved character |
| Laura
Linney - Kinsey |
Well
liked, well respected actress in what might be the better role in
the film |
| Joan
Allen - The Upside Of Anger |
Apparently,
a great performance, hot from Bourne, still due |
| X |
| Kim
Basinger - The Door In The Floor |
Small,
smart film... maybe too small to be remembered |
| Cate
Blanchett - The Life Aquatic |
Why
don't they seem to nominate Cate? She's up against herself (The
Aviator) again this year. |
| Cameron
Diaz - In Her Shoes |
It
may not open this year, but could be a "breakthrough"
acting role |
| Catalina
Sandrino Morengo - Maria Full Of Grace |
Sure
to be a big critics' favorite |
| Gwyneth
Paltrow - Proof |
Whither
Gwynnie? |
| Audrey
Tautou - A Very Long Engagement |
All
depends on the movie... could happen |
| Robin
Wright-Penn - At Home At The End Of The World |
A
great actress... might be too far away to remember come awards time |

| Meryl
Streep - The Manchurian Candidate |
An
Oscar lock even before the film opens |
| Natalie
Portman - Closer |
Two
strrong roles for her this year... could be her time |
| Emmy
Rossum - Phantom Of The Opera |
If
you take one thing away from the film, it might be Emmy |
| Gena
Rowlands - The Notebook |
It's
a tough, unexciting role, but they love to honor the body of work |
| Naomi
Watts - We Don't Live Here Anymore |
She's
got the heat. |
| X |
| Toni
Collette - In Her Shoes |
Might
not be released, but an excellent actress with Cameron Diaz around
to take focus and let Toni shine |
| Shirley Maclaine
- In Her Shoes |
Never
bet against Maclaine |
| Barbra Streisand
- Meet The Fockers |
This
is going to be one of the events of the year/ |
| Sissy Spacek
- A Home At The End Of The World |
Oscar
fave... strong role |
| Robin
Wright-Penn - At Home At The End Of The World |
A
great actress... strong character |
| X |
| Julie Christie
- Finding Neverland |
Too
small a role for a nod |
| Cate Blanchett
- The Aviator |
Why
don't they ever nominate the Great Cate (here playing The Great
Kate)? |
| Anjelica Houston
- The Life Aquatic |
Tanks
a lot |
Hope
Davis - Proof
|
Hope
Davis is always worth campaigning for |
| Lauren Bacall
- Dogville |
A
grand dame.. but an early year role |
