REVIEW

Who SHOULD win? (Readers Choice) 
CAREY MULLIGAN took 53% of your votes
How'd I do on my predictions
5/5 These were the expected nominees and I didn't get frisky in the nominations here and try for a shock nominee.
Who was left out?
Sophia Loren (The Life Ahead) and Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit) had their fans but in the end not enough support. Amy Adams (Hillbilly Elegy) and Zendaya (Malcolm & Marie) had some precursor attention but their movies weren't popular. Rosamund Pike (I Care A Lot) won the Globe for Comedy Actress. Here's what my ballot looked like.
Who will win?
Good question. This actually feels like a race. We're going to give it a couple of weeks before we decide.
Who should win? (Nathaniel's choice)

Trivia Specific to these women

First black woman ever nominated twice in this category

Most nominated black woman of all tim (4 nominations)

Nominated for her film debut. Not super rare in this category but still...   If she wins she'll have the second most lading actress Oscars of all time (after Katharine Hepburn)
