This year's Best Sup. Actress category isn't as crowded as last year's. It would be easy to make my predictions:
AMY ADAMS, Doubt. (left, with Meryl Streep)
- Well loved by the press for her graciousness on and off screen, the Academy member gave a fine performance in John Patrick Shanley's adaptation of his acclaimed play. But the critics preferred her co-star Viola Davis.
PENELOPE CRUZ, Vicky Christina Barcelona
- Woody Allen received his 15th WGA nod for his script, and Cruz's performance was immensely praised. If last year's Best Sup. Actor winner (and her current love interest) Javier Bardem presents the Oscar for this category, will he gonna declare her as the winner? Hmmm...
VIOLA DAVIS, Doubt.
MARISA TOMEI, The Wrestler
- Never underestimate the Academy love for this 1992 Best Sup. Actress winner (and 2001 nominee). The love for the movie will carry her over to the Kodak Theater as a nominee.
KATE WINSLET, The Reader
- The film's producers the Weinstein Brothers are busy campaigning for Cruz in this category, because apparently Winslet was displeased with the same release schedule for her other 2008 movie. If she wins for this film (which is likely), will she receive the Best Lead Actress award? (Impossible.)
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME TO...
Rosemarie DeWitt, Rachel Getting Married
Taraji P. Henson, Benjamin Button
Tilda Swinton, Benjamin Button
Elsa Zylberstein, Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
