Was I really the only that voted for Salma Hayek :O Such a shame
If I had seen it, I probably would have too. Or wait, just my top ten? I don't know, I can't really predict how good someone can be, but she is a very underrated actress and owns mediocre films with her intensity. She kills it in Lonely Hearts, so I have no doubt she is capable of killing it over and over again.Originally Posted by Dooby
What film was she in? Savages?

Savages. The film was an undeniable mess, but she was astonishingIf I had seen it, I probably would have too. Or wait, just my top ten?

You can do it, Naomi! You're...
ONLY 10 EASY STEPS AWAY FROM OSCAR!
1.) Bankrupt small, independent distributor via massive Oscar campaign. Failing that, proceed to...
2.) Cash in King Kong residual checks to pay for FYC advertisements from Kinko's.
3.) To avoid getting sent straight to VOD, attach entire film as a "trailer" to another film people actually want to see. And then...
4.) Try to do it Lahti-style and win Academy Award for Best Short Film.
5.) Avoid telling a story that everyone already knows by adding exciting details and/or gratuitous editing.
6. Carefully and patiently weather the wrath of film critics/the royal family/the tabloids/Diana-maniacs for trying to add said details. (Good luck!)
7. Find all of the boxes with "August: Osage County" screeners and slip in self-made cam bootleg from premiere screening at Lowes...the hardware store.
(Not Loews, the movie theater -- too expensive!)
8. Trick octogenarian Oscar voters into thinking that you are, in fact, a real princess. (Hey, it worked on Eva Marie Saint!)
9. On Oscar night, have camera crews come to Nicole's house, Joan Crawford-style, so you can win and keep your day job.
10. OSCAR!

How difficult it was to balance strategy and taste! But fortunately, I consider 14 in the list to be absolute acting masterpieces, which is quite unusual, so everybody I ranked above everybody is in the end deserving of top honors.
Sadly, zero leading actresses in my list, I have yet to see one this year that I absolutely love. As for the rest, 6 supporting guys (truly the category of the year, for a change), 5 supporting girls and 5 leading guys.
So I guess you haven't seen Nina Hoss in Barbara ...
RIP James Gandolfini
I have, and it's my favorite leading performance by a woman this year, but it's still not in my top tier.
You know this is blasphemy on AD, right?
