PREDICTIONS BY: CLAYTON DAVIS
|
|
THE PREDICTED FIVE ARE...(in order)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Barbara Hershey-
Black Swan
|
|
Irina Bjorklund-
The American
|
|
Naomi Watts-
Mother and Child
|
|
|
Bryce Dallas Howard-
Hereafter
|
|
FOR HER:
She has a nomination
under her belt for The
Portrait of a Lady. Some
say she should have won.
Will a veteran take this?
|
|
FOR HER:
Breakthrough performance
opposite George Clooney?
It's his love interest. This
year's newcomer.
|
|
FOR HER:
Many were excited for her
to be nominated in her
bravura work in 21 Grams.
We've been waiting to see
what she does next.
Opposite Bening is a good
team.
|
|
FOR HER:
She's Oscar-less and it
hurts. The Academy must
feel it too. Two big roles
this year.
|
|
FOR HER:
Daughter of Ron Howard. A
true up and comer.
Eastwood does good things
for his actors.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Big enough role?
|
|
|
AGAINST HER:
She could be
overshadowed by Bening.
Early word is that.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Split votes with herself.
She could be pushed LEAD.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Will her role be big enough?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Marion Cotillard-
Inception
|
|
Cate Blanchett-
Robin Hood
|
|
Jessica Chastain-
The Tree of Life
|
|
Emily Blunt-
The Adjustment Bureau
|
|
|
FOR HER:
She missed for two very
worthy performances last
year for Nine and Public
Enemies. A Christopher
Nolan film is a good bet for
her.
|
|
FOR HER:
As Robin Hood's love
interest Blanchett will
probably have scenery to
chew through.
|
|
FOR HER:
On the merit of Terrence
Malick, she will be watched
very closely this year.
|
|
FOR HER:
This close for The Young
Victoria. Very close for The
Devil Wears Prada. Is Blunt
on the cusp of being
Oscar-ly embraced?
|
|
FOR HER:
She does great work on TV
on "Weeds." Alongside a
very good cast in a baity
film, could do her the trick.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Depends on how big the
role is.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Could go LEAD or
SUPPORTING. Could be just
an action flick.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Depends on the nature of
the role and how big it is.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Is it "Oscary" enough.
|
|
AGAINST HER:
Most of her success as an
actress has been on
television. She'll need to
raise the material.
