Moving on -

The Exorcist, Summer Wishes Winter Dreams, Carrie, Turning Point, On Golden Pond, Frances, Children of a Lesser God

(that's through the 80s - not sure of all of those)

Basically - the two times that is has happened probably are less than would happen by random drawing of winners - in other words, there is absolutely no predictive value of having mother/daughter roles helping then tamdem both win.

I can see how you don't but having thankfully SeanFlynn has mentioned numerous nominations of mother/daughters...thats a trend for sure...and if I jumped the gun on the actual # of wins...then I am sorry for that...but you will disagree with this post also...

Thanks, nutlen. That will be all.

We'll let you go now, as I'm sure you're heading over to your good friend Meryl's house for dinner tonight.

Tell her hello for me.

What I wrote disproves what you stated, which is the suggestion that their playing a mother and daughter help the chance that both of them will win.

It does nothing of the sort. It is irrelevant.

Most of the times when a mother/daughter pair have been nominated, both lost.

Several times one of them has won.

Twice both have won.

If Sidibe and Mo'Nique win, it will be an unusual enough event to be noted in the reporting afterward, it will be that unusual.

That's the opposite of what you suggested.

Stella Dallas, Now Voyager, Song of Bernadette, Since You Went Away, I Remember Mama, Johnny Belinda - that's just through the 40s, and I might be missing one or two.

In a couples cases, one of them won.

It has nothing to do with anybody's chances of winning.

Aggie was Belinda's aunt in "Johnny Belinda" not her mother if I recall correctly.


Anyways, How dare you guys attack Oscarnutlen. He is a member of the academy and is good friends with Meryl Streep herself!

hmmm....How ever would he tell her that he is voting for Gabby instead?

My predictions so far:

Gabby Sidibe-Precious
Meryl Streep-Julie & Julia
Carey Mulligan-An Education

in the run:

Charlotte Gainsbourg-Antichrist
Marion Cotillard-Nine
Saoirce Ronan-The Lovely Bones
Hilary Swank-Amelia

I hope Swank does not get in. It would be the equivalent of Cate Blanchett getting nominated for The Golden Age. Very few people look back on that nomination kindly.

1. Streep
2. Mulligan
3. Sidibe
4. Mirren

Last Spot- Ronan or Cotillard

Cornish and Swank are fading.

Is it confirmed that Marion Cotillard is Lead in Nine? if she is, then she gets my last spot for Lead Actress and if she's supporting (which I hope) then she's tied for #1 with Mo'Nique.

I read somewhere that she is confirmed for going LEAD.

Yeah, I also read she's confirmed by the film's production office as the only female being campaigned for lead. The rest of the ladies are going supporting.

I just found out about it from the latest issue of EW. They made their early Oscar picks and Cotillard's name was listed in the Lead category.

As I wrote , an insider from NINE told me that Marion is going to be campaigned as Lead, actually she is going to be in the cover of many european magazines alone promoting the film, he also said that in many countries the poster will have Kidman´s name beside Day Lewis because her star power worldwide.

You're welcome.

I really like that prediction, but I just know that Helen Mirren is going to get in the way with The Last Station...

In my predictions I sacrificed Marion Cotillard for Helen Mirren, but I wish it could in fact be a Bullock, Cotillard, Mulligan, Sidibe, Streep lineup...

Bullock has a lot of things going for her to get a nomination. Cotillard has already won an Oscar so far and Bullock, for as long she has been in this biz, still has not recieved her first nomination, and now that she has strong buzz for The Blind Side, I think many voters may put Bullock ahead of Cotillard when it comes to ballots and therefore she can finally get that nomination. This is what happens sometimes. But I do support a Bullock nomination for now! I can't wait to see the film and I would love to see Bullock get her first nomination as well! This really is turning out to be her year!

I wouldn't mind if Bullock had "Oscar nominee" to her credit b/c she really proved herself that she can do drama, in a surprise/underatted supporting turn in Crash.

Yes, she really should've gotten in for that role.

and so far Sandra Bullock has the best grossing film of the year starred by a female actor with "The Proposal"
