BEST ACTRESS
	Actress - Film	HFPA	Comment
1	Reese Witherspoon - Walk The Line	M/C	Every inch a movie star, Mangold keeps her close to earth and her voice will shock
2	Dame Judi Dench - Mrs. Henderson Presents	M/C	Undeniable nomination
3	Diane Keaton - The Family Stone	M/C	A self-styled legend who should be able to overcome marketing trouble
4	Charlize Theron - North Country	D	A movie star in a classic performance in a movie that is too long
5	Zhang Ziyi - Memoirs of a Geisha	D	This year's strange fruit?
6	Q'orianka Kilcher - The New World		A quiet performance... will she be singular?
7	Felicity Huffman - Transamerica	D	TV stardom and a good stunt performance, but is it enough?
8	Julianne Moore - Freedomland	D	Always great... see the film...
9	Gwyneth Paltrow - Proof	D	She's Gwynnie... prove it
10	Joan Allen - The Upside of Anger	M/C	Enjoy the Globes
11	Keira Knightly - Pride & Prejudice	M/C	Star power at the party
12	Renee Zellweger - Cinderella Man		Could pop into Globes picture

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
	Actress - Film	Comment
1	Uma Thurman - The Producers (GG)	Williams may be the critics' choice, but Thurman is at "That Moment"
2	Michelle Williams - Brokeback Mountain (GG)	Glorious work in a truly supporting role
3	Scarlett Johnasson - Match Point (GG)	Has the couple breakout scenes that could make this happen
4	Michelle Yeoh - Memoirs of a Geisha (GG)	Exotic elegance
5	Sarah Jessica Parker - The Family Stone (GG)	Hard to get it for a comedy role, especially for a TV actress, but could happen
6	Shirley MacLaine - In Her Shoes	The box office floppage will be damaging
7	Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener	Really should be higher... up to Focus now
8	Amy Adams - Junebug	A delight... but probably too small to get traction
9	Maria Bello - A History Of Violence	Really fine work, but film is getting slammed
10	Frances Mc Dormand - North Country	One of the best... but not enough role
