Oscar Prediction: Best Actress

four more of these to go.

the nominees:

• Judi Dench-Mrs. Henderson Presents
• Felicity Huffman-TransAmerica
• Keira Knightly-Pride and Prejudice
• Charlize Theron-North Country
• Reese Witherspoon-Walk the Line

Conventional wisdom says to go with Reese Witherspoon. She's Hollywood's golden girl right now and she's already won a Golden Globe for her performance as June Carter Cash. but something tells me we might see upsets in both the Best Actor and Best Actress categories. So my prediction is Felicity Huffman in TransAmerica. it takes a lot of courage for an actress to play a man, especially a transgendered man and i think that maybe the Academy will reward courage like that.

next: Best Actor
