BEST ACTRESS
Rk	LW	Actress - Film	Comment
1	1	Reese Witherspoon - Walk The Line	The only 95% lock
2	2	Judi Dench - Mrs. Henderson Presents	Needs some face time to have a shot
3	3	Felicity Huffman - Transamerica	Will win a Drama Globe... should be happy to be nominated
4	4	Charlize Theron - North Country	The new standard bearer
5	5	Joan Allen - The Upside of Anger	A great veteran whom the Academy loves
-	-	Keira Knightly - Pride & Prejudice	Really?
-	5	Naomi Watts - King Kong	Box office bounced

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Rk	LW	Actress - Film	Comment
1	1	Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener	She is here... she is brilliant in the movie... she is the best "actress in a room surprise" since Brenda Blethyn... and her main competition is not here at all and is in a small role
2	2	Michelle Williams - Brokeback Mountain	Magnificent.
3	4	Catherine Keener - Capote	Couldn't happen to a better actress or nicer person... but too small to win
4	-	Amy Adams - Junebug	Another lovely surprise... an Oscar nomination would be stellar.
5	3	Maria Bello - A History Of Violence	Strong role, strong performance... could fall
-	5	Diane Keaton - The Family Stone	Can the veteran kick back? The film is an undeniable hit with older women
-	6	Scarlett Johnasson - Match Point	Fading as she looks more and more like a horny college kid and less and less like a movie star (She should reconsider Bond, if it's still on the table.)
