Marion Cotillard - "La Mome"
Takes an iconic woman and gives an iconic performance.
She ably transitions between many different ages, never once faltering.
Angelina Jolie - "A Mighty Heart"
Treats the role with immense respect and dignity to Marianne Pearl. Even turning away from the camera to grieve.
The accent never waivers.
Keira Knightly - "Atonement"
The smallest role of the bunch, but it leaves such an impression. The clippered 1930's speech to her face as she realizes her feelings. A true actress emerges.
Laura Linney - "The Savages"
For being funny, pathetic and true.
She is believable as a sibling and a woman who is deeply flawed.
You never question her.
Annamarina Marinca - "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days"
For the difficulty of carrying the movie on her back.
The moments she has to reflect on what has transpired she truly shines. amazing acting.
Ellen Page - "Juno"
She carries the movie and is able to make the stylized dialogue completely believable.
Any actress who can say the line "I don't know what type of girl I am" so poignant and true is brilliant.

No Cate Blanchett for The Golden Age?
I'm appalled! Hehehe, great lineup, too bad you snubbed Julie Christie though, although Keira and Anamaria being in makes up for it.
