| Rooney Mara's surging with a slow burn hit and a beloved character (Dragon Tattoo didn't open superbly but grew legs) cost Tilda 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 between Meryl Streep (Globe winner and long overdue for a third Oscar) and Viola Davis (just hitting her stride which is a wonderful time to reward people). Meryl seems more likely at this point given the somewhat muted showing of The Help in the nominations... but then again, don't Michelle and Glenn pull "due" votes away from Meryl rather than Viola? | ||||
