Ok, I know I am probably one of the only people who is thinking it could happen, but it is that far fetched? Michelle Williams has been getting across the board raves for her understated performance in ‘Wendy and Lucy’. Of course when it comes to understated performances, Oscar usually doesn’t take notice (they like screaming crying women – so I guess Jolie is in), but with all the buzz surrounding Heath Ledger could there be a sway of sympathy towards giving Williams a nomination? Last time either of them was nominated it was in the same year for ‘Brokeback Mountain’.With Steep and seemingly Hathaway and Hawkins almost locks could it not be possible that Jolie, Scott Thomas, Leo and Winslet could all lose votes to Williams?
Jolie has her loud detractors (although that did not hurt Blanchett last year for ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’ – or as I like to call it, ‘Elizabeth: The Movie in which Samantha Morton is the only one to walk away with any Dignity’).
Winslet could cancel herself out completely, Scott Thomas seems to have drifted out of minds a bit (and also has her detractors) and Leo is in a small film as well, and Williams is younger and much higher profile.
Am I crazy?
