Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

The nominees:
SAOIRSE RONAN, ATONEMENT
JULIA ROBERTS, CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
AMY RYAN, GONE BABY GONE
CATE BLANCHETT, I'M NOT THERE
TILDA SWINTON, MICHAEL CLAYTON

My predictions: 4/5, choosing Michelle Pfeiffer over Swinton.

The hurricane that is "Michael Clayton" continues to extend its reach to this category. I wish these performers would get nominated for better roles. In any case, a category that seemed to have no contenders only weeks ago is suddenly filled with the expected five. Roberts may fall out along the way, but I am still not sure who will replace her. I am surprised that "Hairspray" did so well but Pfeiffer missed out.

Who will win? The most likely choice is Blanchett, but Ryan has won every critics' awards, and Ronan is really good in "Atonement".
