| SAG has re-energized this film and this performance. Viola Davis will be this year's Oscar Winner for Best Actress. Her biggest campaign supporter?...Meryl Streep. | The Queen of the Screen has extended her record yet again with her 17th Oscar Nomination. This is a horse race between her and Davis. With Streep losing the SAG, it's looking more and more like she will be steamrolled in the 9th inning for another year. Davis is unstoppable at this point I think. | Williams won the Globe for "comedic" actress as well as a huge precursor showing. I think it may be too tough of a competition from Streep and Davis though. | Mara took Swinton's spot here. Both amazing performances, but Mara edged her out. I don't think she can win here, so the nomination is her reward. | Close got in. I'm glad. But she'll be a 6-time nominee with no wins after all this is over. |
Maybe Next Time...
