Nominees:
Amy Adams - The Master
Sally Field - Lincoln
Anne Hathaway - Les Miserables
Helen Hunt - The Sessions
Jacki Weaver - Silver Linings Playbook
It completely breaks my heart that I have yet to see The Master or The Sessions. I adore Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, Boogie Nights, etc.) so I'm really looking forward to The Master, and from what I've read Helen Hunt and John Hawkes put on an acting clinic with a super-interesting story in The Sessions. From what I have seen, though, nothing comes close to the three minute scene pictured above. So much passion, pain, and raw beauty in one simple, no-frills camera shot. I don't see how Ms. Hathaway loses.
My Ballot:
Anne Hathaway - Les Miserables
Sally Field - Lincoln
Jacki Weaver - Silver Linings Playbook
My Pick to Win:
Anne Hathaway - Les Miserables
Shoulda Been Here:
Emma Watson - The Perks of Being a Wallflower
These things usually go to the suffering, disabled or overacting, so I'll agree with your pick to win. Sally Field should win though.
ReplyDeleteAmy Adams doesn't have a chance to shine in The Master as it's a two man movie.
