Carrying on with the Countdown to Oscar Sunday…
BEST ACTRESS
Felicity Jones
“The Theory of Everything”
I really liked Felicity’s performance here. She brought the strength of what it was to go the distance in this type of relationship.
Marion Cotillard
“Two Days, One Night”
I did not really like this movie at all nor did I think was such a great performance. Not her best by far and not sure how she slipped in here when there were others that for me, did much better.
Reese Witherspoon
“Wild”
Was not WOWED by this performance in the least, nor by the story. Both were very averagely done. Reese deserved her last Oscar win. This one doesn’t do it for me.
Julianne Moore
“Still Alice”
While the movie was an just average, Moore’s performance is quite stunning.
Rosamund Pike
“Gone Girl”
While previously not a huge Rosamund Pike fan, she did bring it to this film. But then she also did Hector and the Search for Happiness this year and it was awful and reminded me of why I wasn’t her biggest fan.
My Pick: Julianne Moore
Will Win: Julianne Moore
Possible Win: Rosamund Pike
Peggy at the Movies 
I thought Cotillard was excellent in Two Days, One Night, and her nom here was a pleasant surprise. I gotta go with Rosamund Pike, though, even though it’s a lock for Moore.
I really just didn’t like the movie or her performance..so much so that I didn’t even bother to write a review.. but then that’s just me. Rosamund Pike would be a good upset. and I’m hoping for a few of those..they make it interesting!!! I don’t love her so much as again, she hasn’t really been spectacular until this film tbh. But yeah..it would be a fun upset..though I like Julianne so much as she always turns in a good performance.. 🙂
