There are loads of good performances to choose from...and personally...I think Michelle Pfeiffer epsecially and Abbie Cornish [though I haven't seen it yet] should still be in the race. Not because a film isn't getting buzzed means it's unworthy. You are absolutely right.

Loved Sophie Okenedo in Skin. I am still not convinced of Sandra Bullock's dramatic acting ability, but haven't seen 'The Blind Side' yet. Meryl Streep, though a greta actress, is just okay in Julie & Julia (nto undertsand what all the hoopla is behind her performance). As far Amy Adams, she was good in Sunshien Cleaning but we really need to give her a rest as far as all these nominations. Her roles are frankly starting to looks the same, as if she was playing the same character over and over again. I like MIchelle Pfeiffer, but I'm nto sure that Oscar is in the cards for her. I haven't ever relaly been impressed iwth her work. I'm all for Saoirse Ronan, Penelope Cruz and Hilary Swank .I just would rather not seen female actresses getting rewarded for predictable female roles. I'd rather the meatier roles, like perhaps Robin Wright. Just because females may be everywhere at the box office or in movies, doesn't make the roles good, but predictable. would love to see gabourey Sibide get a nod, though she is still wet behind the ears.
