Impact Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Early predictions:Keira Knightley for Anna KarreniaI'll get back to you :PIs Mulligan lead or supproting in Gastby? Same with Hathaway for Les M? (Yes this tells you how much I know the 2 stories ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Thinking about this category really makes you realize just how little female lead roles there are compared to male roles. I can't think of any serious competitors right now besides Keira. Edited May 18, 2012 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Its like 1994! (Which I have read that it was considered to be one of the weakest years for lead actresses apparently.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) The little girl from Beasts of Southern WildAnne Hathaway for Les MiserableMeryl Streep for Hope SpringsThat's all I got for nowMeryl Streep isn't happening IMO, it's a comedy, and she just won, so the Academy probably will give her a break, especially seeing as she's as of now the runaway favourite for actress the following year in "August: Osage County." [but, we all know how runaway favourite status works for Streep ] But, to her credit, this movie's directed by the Director that got her a nomination for "Prada", and managed to convince the Academy that she was lead, so she could..... but I don't see it. Plus, it's being released in August now, so it'll need to get like "The Help" level of box office success if it wants to be seriously considered for awards [Apart from the Golden Globes of course] Edited June 14, 2012 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The great thing about the category being so weak this year is I think it makes it all the more likely Wallis will get nominated for Beasts of the Southern Wild, and I think that would be a pretty exciting thing to have happen.
