Well, in my opinion, Elizabeth Olsen transcends both. (Michelle Williams would probably be my second-choice.) But the Academy rarely awards

Posted by: dsbman on Dec 31, 18:46 in response to lobogotti's post I'm a BIG supporter of The Help, but in my opinion...

the Best... I think Davis has the slight edge right now, but a long time to go.

I'm actually more interested in the fifth slot nomination in the category. Davis, Streep, Williams, and Close are locks. Many say Swinton is the easy fifth, but I don't buy it. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN is far darker and even more obscure than JULIA (a better performance IMO) and the Academy gave JULIA no love. I think it could be Olsen, Theron, or even Dunst.

so it's a shame that Michelle Williams is going to have to go up against Streep for best actress. not having seen Iron Lady yet I can't say lobogotti Dec 31, 17:51

This is not one of Streep's best performances, but the Academy loves a good old age make-up job (which would be why Leo gets in too). dsbman Dec 31, 18:08

Plus, Streep has lost many more times than she has won. {nm} dsbman Dec 31, 18:10

I'm a BIG supporter of The Help, but in my opinion Williams shined a bit more than Davis. I've seen a lot of old lobogotti Dec 31, 18:18

how far does one go. I vividly remember her in Dawson's Creek... she was really good in it... Oleg Max Dec 31, 18:15

that's what is even more amazing, the fact that she started out on Dawsons Creek. not often do actors/actresses make the transition for lobogotti Dec 31, 18:20

yeap, truely amazing... great for her... she deserves it... {nm} Oleg Max Dec 31, 18:25

Kirtsen Dunst performance in portraying the bipolar condition was far superior to Michelle Williams {nm} RedDex's Movie Blog Jan 01, 08:18

Will Mara get nominated? In lead or Supporting? {nm} HarryWarden Jan 01, 09:33

doubt she gets nominated in that 5th spot for lead. not sure if they would qualify her for supporting (doubtful though) {nm} lobogotti Jan 01, 17:45

Seen both and I want Michele Williams to win...and she deserves it {nm} Latinman4747 Jan 01, 11:53

nice indeed. {nm} lobogotti Jan 01, 17:45
