Who Got Snubbed?
Rooney Mara's surging with a slow burn hit and a beloved character (Dragon Tattoodidn't open superbly but grew legs) costTilda Swinton. Tilda had won the NBR and the OFCS and a few other critics prizes as well as all of the major precursor nominations. Still, We Need To Talk About Kevin was always going to be a hard sell with Oscar. She came as far as she did partially on the momentum of three years of great work post-Oscar win.Kirsten Dunst, another worthy contender, never won post Cannes traction.Nathaniel's Personal Ballot.
Who is Likely to Win?
It's shaping up to be a battle betweenMeryl Streep(Globe & BAFTA winner and long overdue for a third Oscar) andViola Davis(just hitting her stride which is a wonderful time to reward people and she's won SAG and BFCA). Michelle and Glenn pull "due" votes away from Meryl rather than Viola sowe're guessing Viola.But not-so-secretly we're hoping for a tie.
