Re: Official 82nd Annual Academy Awards Nomination Thread
^^ Mirren is of course always excellent in anything she does, but I don't think she has a chance of winning this time. Mulligan just got an unexpected boost with her BAFTA win (they have a decent track record of matching Oscar wins in this category, and I think about 500 or so of their voters overlap with the Academy) so she may be a dark horse after all, and I think she'd be a decent winner.
Julie and Julia isn't Streep's best performance, but lord knows she's far more deserving than Bullock (who would easily go down as the worst Best Actress winner in my estimation, and yes, I've seen them all). Streep is often at the podium for Globes and SAG so I think a lot of people think she's won a lot already, but she actually hasn't won an Oscar in two decades. And only one of the two Oscars she's won was for Lead Actress. When you think about it, it's kind of inconceivable that our Greatest Living Actress has one Lead Actress Oscar while Hillary Swank has two.
Anyway, I'll take Streep or Mulligan or Mirren or Sidibe or ANYONE over Bullock.
