Oscar Predictions: Best Actress

Click the image for a direct link to the trailer for the film. 

 

September 4th Update.


It now looks like Meryl Streep is indeed going lead for August: Osage County. In my previous predictions, I had her going supporting. I'll update that next time around. For now...

1. Cate Blanchett- Blue Jasmine

Cate Blanchett looks like the clear frontrunner so far. Reviews have called her performance a career best. In a career that's already brought her an Oscar win, that's saying something.

2. Sandra Bullock- Gravity

Gravity looks like a major Oscar player after the recent screenings. The word has been outstanding so far. Reviews have raved Bullock, calling it a career best for her as well. She seems pretty safe for now.

3. Amy Adams- American Hustle

Amy Adams could finally be making the leap for a nomination in the lead category. This category is tough right now. 8 of the 10 possibilities I have listed have already won Oscars. I have to think someone will be nominated who hasn't won before. Adams seems like the safest bet right now.

4. Nicole Kidman- Grace of Monaco

Nicole Kidman in a period piece about a classical character, what's not to like? The Academy loves these type of roles. She plays former Hollywood star Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco.

5. Kate Winslet- Labor Day

Kate Winslet is one of the best actresses of this generation. Early word on her performance in Labor Day has been great. She already has 6 nominations, I wouldn't count her out for another one.

6. Emma Thompson- Saving Mr. Banks

7. Julia Roberts- August: Osage County

8. Berenice Bejo- The Past

9. Naomi Watts- Diana
