Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie, Away From Her
Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose
Laura Linney, The Savages
Ellen Page, Juno
Cate Blanchett may be the first actor to receive two nominations for playing the same character, but, while it was the kind of powerful performance we've come to expect of the actress, this isn't her category to win this year. And while she carried the entire film on her shoulders and is the major reason for the film's success, Ellen Page will most likely be going home empty handed. The same can be said for Laura Linney. Hers was a brilliantly subtle work, but it left me so depressed afterward. So that makes this come down to Julie Christie and Marion Cotillard. Christie was ahead early on winning many awards and lots of buzz. However, the downside of an early lead is that it typically dies down too soon. And that's right where Cotillard has swooped in, nabbing the last few awards before the big one. In all honesty, I haven't yet seen La Vie En Rose yet. I tried to, but I just wasn't in the mood. But it doesn't always come down to whether or not you've seen a movie. It's usually about who has the most buzz, and right now it's Cotillard. Prediction: Christie (Should Win)/Cotillard (Will Win)
