A musical would be great to get the Academy's attention. A lot of musicals feature Oscar winning performances. In fact Julie Andrews, Barbara Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Sissy Spacek, Reese Witherspoon, and Marion Cotillard have all won Best Actress for musicals or films about singers featuring singing. So it's possible she could give an award worthy, heartbreaking, and impressive musical performance given the right material.
But I also agree that a very dramatic role with no musical ties (abused single mother/rape victim/teacher) would show a completely different side to her.
But either way she could do it.
