They were:<br /><br />Nicole Kidman, The Paperboy <br />Heather Simms, Red Hook Summer <br />Lorraine Toussaint, Middle of Nowhere <br />Bella Heathcote, Not Fade Away <br />Anna Kendrick, End of Watch <br />Sally Field, Lincoln <br /><br />Not sure as I see this as a problem so much as a matter of differing tastes. If the alternative is Judi Dench in Skyfall or Sarah Silverman in Take This Waltz, though, I'm happy with my list...<br /><br />My skandie overlap in Supporting actress was, for the record, Gershon, Hathaway (TDKR), Hayek, McDormand (Promised Land).<br /><br />On the other hand, I don't think I voted for Holy Motors anywhere, but it dominating doesn't bother me a bit.Jeremy Heilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025198716777000854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-72253718431574634372013-02-15T14:02:15.150-05:002013-02-15T14:02:15.150-05:00A little sad I was the only one who thought THE CO...A little sad I was the only one who thought THE COLOR WHEEL was top 10 material.

I wanted to know so much more about her and that I didn't is the fundamental problem I think I have with the film. It's primarily a character study of a not very interesting character.

She's the lowest point total of all 8 winners and only had 2 people give her 20 or more points. She probably benefited from what was just (IMHO) a down year for supporting actress in which she emerged as a consensus choice.Dignannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-28246423406720952232013-02-15T11:32:02.151-05:002013-02-15T11:32:02.151-05:00I too don't get Amy Adams as #1.

BEST ACTRESS!<br /><br />TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE was one of the three or four worst films of the year but her performance there is every bit as good as in THE MASTER. I think she just got swept up in the (appropriate) MASTER love. She's fine, but not the best.
