01/07 I know it's perverse to include a performance in the fifth spot that virtually no one has recognized. But I still have trouble imagining Cate Blanchett swinging enough #1 and #2 placements for a film nobody likes (Elizabeth the Golden Age) when she's already won an Oscar and she'll already be nominated in the other actress category and it wasn't exactly her BIG year (which is when you usually can swing two nominations). But since I don't truly believe in her chances, or those of Keira Knightley (too small a role), or Amy Adams (too Disney), or Jodie Foster ( same problem as Cate) I decided to throw my girl Laura Linney back up into the shortlist. It's not impossible you know. The 2003 actress race proved that a surprise is possible, even TWO surprises. And The Savages keeps getting mentions here and there, even if it's never for Linney (ironically the best thing about the entire film)

12/15 all new commentary below ~ in the meantime, that fifth slot is a true nail biter. If they truly love Atonement it'll probably be Keira but her screentime is so limited. That has to make her vulnerable. They might go with the default name (Blanchett) or the breakout star (Adams) despite the film and role being completely non-Oscary. They still could even go with the strangely neglected (That'd be Laura Linney --her film obviously waited too long for release. I suspect not enough people have seen it). Who do you think is in fifth?
