Golden Globe Winner Predictions: Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama

The competition: Keira Knightley’s abandoned young woman in “Atonement”, Julie Christie’s Alzheimer’s patient in “Away from Her”, Jodie Foster’s woman with a vendetta in “The Brave One”, Cate Blanchett’s Queen Elizabeth in “Elizabeth: The Golden Age”, and Angelina Jolie’s journalist wife in “A Mighty Heart”.
For your information: Foster has five previous nominations and two wins. Blanchett also has five nominations and one win (for this same role), and she is nominated for a second Globe this year. Christie has two previous nominations. Jolie has won all three of her previous nominations. Knightley has one previous nomination.
Who should win: Jolie was the best of this bunch, but Christie and Knightley were great too.
Who will win: I doubt anyone can overcome Christie.
