This year, the Supporting Actresses category is filled with worthy names, women who even though only shared a few minutes of screen time in their respective movies, managed to ’steal the show’ with commanding performances that will not be easily forgotten. Oscar buzz currently surrounds the two female cast of the movie Doubt, Viola Davis and Amy Adams. My vote however goes to Emily Mortimer of Transsiberian, although I know in my gut that sadly, she will probably be overlooked by Oscar voters.
1. EMILY MORTIMER (Transsiberian)
2. VIOLA DAVIS (Doubt)
3. TARAJI P. HENSON (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
4. MARISA TOMEI (The Wrestler)
5. ROSEMARIE DeWITT (Rachel Getting Married)
6. DEBRA WINGER (Rachel Getting Married)
7. LINA LEANDERSSON (Let The Right One In)
8. VERA FARMIGA (The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas)
9. AMY ADAMS (Doubt)
10. PENELOPE CRUZ (Vicky Cristina Barcelona)
