- Cate began the year as the strongest contender for Best Actress for 'Carol', but 'Truth' has been getting great reviews (Cate) and it's said to be her best yet;
- They say that 'Truth' will be hit pretty hard by journalists, which may damage the chances of nominations, so Cate would probably end up nominated for 'Carol' instead (an actor cannot be nominated in the same category twice);
- The whole uproar over the real story behind 'Truth' was exaggerated because it was a woman, if it had been a man it would've been much different;
- Cate won Best Actress last year, so it means this could be a big chance for Brie Larson who's been getting amazing reviews for her role in 'Room'. The fact that she's never won before could help her;
Best Actress is shaping up like this:
Brie Larson, Room
Cate Blanchett, Truth or Carol
Carey Mulligan, Suffragette
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
Lily Tomlin, Grandma
Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road
Marion Cotillard, Macbeth
Coming Soon:
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
