Oscar Nominees: Best Actress in a Leading Role

My predictions: 3/5, choosing Jolie and Knightley over Blanchett and Linney.

The snubbing of Angelina Jolie comes to me as a major shock. Even more so, the inclusion of both Cate Blanchett and Laura Linney. Blanchett had been there all along but everyone said the movie was terrible and she did not deserve a nod. She is the only nominee with an absolute zero percent change of winning. Linney's nomination is fine (I liked her best in the film), and a refreshing statistic that she made it in along with Best Actor nominee Tommy Lee Jones after being virtually ignored every step of the way.

My current bet to win: Ellen Page
