No she hasn't. People were predicting her for lead since the beginning. It's probably Harvey Weistein's trick to pull atention on an Oprah x Meryl battle but the role is lead. It even won the lead Tony award.
I hope Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller snatch a nod for The Spectacular Now. But if Zooey and Joseph couldn't do it with 500 Days of Summer then I highly doubt it.
Cate is a sure thing. Amy Adams too probably. Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl and Oprah are all heading to Supporting.
I want Ethan Hawke for Before Midnight.
Naomi Watts for Diana and Julie Delpy could sneak in too.
Best Actor is going to be between Redford, McCounaghey and possible DiCaprio.
Best Actress is totally going to be between Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams.
Supporting Actress, Oprah Winfrey or Meryl.
Supporting Actor I don't know..
Sharon Stone should get a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in Lovelace.
It'd be nice for Amanda to get nominated for Best Actress, but it wasn't a knockout performance. She did a good job though. Maybe at the Golden Globes she will have an opportunity to get some love; since they split the Drama and Comedy nominations.
