She keeps playing roles she's too young for but she's definitely "it" right now. Lights up every screen in this hilarious and BIG star turn |
Her performance as the slave her master calls "queen of the fields" is rich and haunting. It's a star-maker. |
Julia leads the bitter funny ensemble in August: Osage County. If it had been a bigger hit it would've been a big comeback |

 In the dread sixth spot: That was probably Oprah Winfrey for The Butler, who looked like a potential winner in the summer but her film didn't hold up well as the prestige pics started hitting and the precursor support was spotty.We'll forever wonder why Margo Martindale, Scarlett Johansson, and Sarah Paulson and others didn't win traction in a competition that narrowed down to 6 people way way too quickly in a rich film year.
