Who Got Left Out |
||||
|
Jennifer Aniston managed all the important precursors for Cake but was left out in the rain on Thursday morning. Too many of the other candidates like Keira Knightley (Begin Again), Scarlett Johansson (Under the Skin) and so on were in films that were too far off of Oscar's imaginative playground in terms of genre or appeal |

|
Who Will Win
|
||||
|
Julianne Moore may well finally win the Oscar she's deserved for 20 years. AND SO IT CAME TO PASS!
|
||||
|
Who Should Win?
This is where you came in. And BEST ACTRESS is always the most popular poll. Lotsa votes but Julianne Moore had no trouble pulling it out
