Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Actress in a Leading Role
The nominees:
JULIE CHRISTIE, AWAY FROM HER
CATE BLANCHETT, ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE
ELLEN PAGE, JUNO
LAURA LINNEY, THE SAVAGES
MARION COTILLARD, LA VIE EN ROSE
My ballot: 2/5, Page and Cotillard
Who should win: Page or Cotillard
Who will win: This is an interesting race because Christie is currently the frontrunner but Cotillard may surge and Page may upset. This race has not really been a contest since 2001, which sort of falls before my time Oscar-wise. In 2002, Renee Zellweger did beat out fellow Globe winner Nicole Kidman for the SAG, only to lose the Oscar to Kidman. I think that will be the case here, with Cotillard taking it home.
