Oscar Prediction: Best Supporting Actress

I have six of these posts to go and six days until the Oscars. so let's do Best Supporting Actress.

the nominees:
  • Amy Adams-Junebug
  • Catherine Keener-Capote
  • Frances McDormand-North Country
  • Rachel Weisz-The Constant Gardener
  • Michelle Williams-Brokeback Mountain
My prediction: Amy Adams in Junebug. I figure this award is going to come down to either Amy Adams or Rachel Weisz. both performances are the glue that hold their respective movies together. but The Constant Gardener has an excellent novel behind it, and most of the action takes place without Weisz, and you could see that maybe another talented actress could play the part. Junebug, however, would be nowhere without Amy Adams. The role of Ashley is the bright star around which all of the other characters in the movie rotate. The performance is absolutely amazing, and i echo Roger Ebert's sentiments when he says he hopes enough people have seen this film to have voted for her. It may have been the performance of the year from any actor, bar none.

Next: Best Supporting Actor
