Oscar Nominees: Best Actress in a Supporting Role

My predictions: 5/5
My ballot: Come back next week!
The nominees: Amy Adams (The Fighter), Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech), Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom)

The first category announced this morning, by last year’s winner Mo’Nique, no less, was also my first in which I scored five for five. No Mila Kunis, but we do get the lovely Weaver as well as Steinfeld in the supporting category where many don’t believe she belongs. A terrific list, honestly, and I’m excited to see these women here!

My current bet to win: Leo
