Best Actress
Marion Cotillard - Two Days, One Night
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore - Still Alice
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
Reese Witherspoon - Wild

In my quest to see every nominated film, this category seems to be my Kryptonite. I talked myself out of driving to Raleigh last week to see Still Alice, and I'm still not entirely sure that Two Days, One Night actually exists. Otherwise, this was a pretty weak year for leading female roles. Julianne Moore will finally take home an Oscar, which is nice, since she is about 17 years or so overdue (see Boogie Nights, Far from Heaven, or The Hours).

My Ballot:
Reese Witherspoon - Wild
Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl

My Pick to Win:
Julianne Moore - Still Alice

Shamefully Snubbed:
Jenny Slate - Obvious Child
