Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama

The nominees:
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY, ATONEMENT
JULIE CHRISTIE, AWAY FROM HER
JODIE FOSTER, THE BRAVE ONE
CATE BLANCHETT, ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE
ANGELINA JOLIE, A MIGHTY HEART

My predictions: 4/5, swapping Foster for the Comedy-nominated Marion Cotillard.

It pains me to see Foster included for her dismal performance in "The Brave One" when the slot could have gone to Tang Wei for "Lust, Caution" or Naomi Watts for "Eastern Promises". I really hope that this is the end of the road for Foster awards-wise. I assume that she and Blanchett will fall off the radar after the Globes, and that Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard will fill the remaining two slots.

Who will win? It is actually Jolie who deserves it, but I think Christie will easily walk away with the trophy, unless Knightley can get enough votes.
