Not a strong category, but some actress surprised us and some were new. I didn't see Blue Valentine and only a really, bad copy of Frankie and Alice
- Halle Berry - Frankie and Alice as Frankie/Alice
- Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole as Becca Corbett
- Jennifer Lawrence - Winter's Bone as Ree Dolly
- Natalie Portman - Black Swan as Nina Sayers
- Michelle Williams - Blue Valentine as Cindy
Who Will Win: Natalie Portman. This was the role of her career! I never thought she was anything special, but she was down right creepy and sexy at the same time in this role. Hopefully people are ignoring her new movie with Aston Kutcher, otherwise she may have an Eddie Murphy/Dreamgirls fiasco on her hands. (Runner Up: Jennifer Lawrence)
Who I Think Should Win: Nicole Kidman. I have never been a fan of hers either, but as the coping mother in Rabbit Hole, she was amazing. Not too many people saw it, and that's disappointing, but she gave an amazing performance. (Runner Up: Halle Berry)
Who Should Be Here: Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit. What an amazing job for a 16 year in her movie debut. She plays a tough ass girl looking for revenge for he father's murder. Very similar to Jennifer Lawrence, which may be why she was overlooked for the role, but I would have LOVED to have seen these two young actresses go head to head.
Who Shouldn't Be Here: Michelle Williams. Not enough people saw this film (like me) and it went through a lot of controversy, but the other actresses have given such strong performances that they should be recognized.
Longshot: Halle Berry. No one has seen this movie and it should be seen. Halle is a schizophrenic go-go dancer who has a southern white woman as her alter-ego. It's pretty messed up and if anyone sees this, they'll forget all the horrible stuff she has made.
