REVIEW

Who SHOULD win? (Readers Choice) 
CAREY MULLIGAN took 53% of your votes
How'd I do on my predictions
5/5 These were the expected nominees and I didn't get frisky in the nominations here and try for a shock nominee.
Who was left out?
Sophia Loren (The Life Ahead) and Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit) had their fans but in the end not enough support. Amy Adams (Hillbilly Elegy) and Zendaya (Malcolm & Marie) had some precursor attention but their movies weren't popular. Rosamund Pike (I Care A Lot) won the Globe for Comedy Actress. Here's what my ballot looked like.
Who will win?
Good question. This actually feels like a race. We're going to give it a couple of weeks before we decide.
Who should win? (Nathaniel's choice)
