5/5 [100%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED

Who got robbed (either Actresses with good buzz or ones I just felt deserved the recognition):
Cloris Leachman (Spanglish) / Meryl Streep (Manchurian Candidate) / Kate Winslet (Neverland) / Sharon Warren, Regina King, Kerry Washington (Ray) / Minnie Driver (Phantom) / Lily Tomlin (Huckabees)

who should win:
Cate Blanchett deserves this Oscar

who will win:
I think Virginia is going to beat out the great Cate by a hair (but I hope I'm wrong) - this is probably the toughest choice of all of the categories

and the Oscar goes to...
Cate Blanchett - I am glad I was wrong with this one (the only one I missed in the "Big Eight" categories).
