There has been considerable festival buzz regarding the performance by Michelle Williams in director Kelly Reichardts critically acclaimed feature about a young woman (Williams) en route to a summer job in Alaska. When her car breaks down and her faithful dog Lucy is taken to the pound, her financial circumstances break down.
We may see Williams name being thrown about come year end awards, but the film is small so she is going to need a considerable push. Good start though as the buzz is slowly rising and she is beginning to crop up on peoples radars.
To have her nominated with Heath will be very bitter sweet indeed.

This is by far one of my most anticipated films of the year, Williams looks fantastic in the trailer and I really want her to be nominated on the same night as Heath Ledger, as you say: a bittersweet ending to an awful story. Great trailer too.
