We’ve reached the midpoint of our EPL Oscars extravaganza and now is a perfect time for a brief intermission. Stretch your legs, grab a beverage, and then hurry back. Next up, we have the award for Best Actress.
The Nominees Are…
Cate Blanchett, Carol
“Cate Blanchett was just plain stellar in a stellar film that should be on the best pictures list.” — Lin Berryman
Brie Larson, Room
“Brie Larson’s portrayal of her character was very multidimensional – maternal, creative, depressed, petulant, angry, and ultimately resourceful and resilient. What a ‘wow’ performance.” — Hilde Kaiser
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
“I couldn’t vote for Charlize Theron so…” — Joshua Corey
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
“I want a classy older lady to win. She’s an amazing actress who has somehow never won. Also, she’s looked better on the red carpet than starlets half her age. Have I mentioned she’s a boss older lady?” — Bridget Petrites
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
“Before seeing Brooklyn, I read the book and figured that there was no way I would like the movie as much as I liked the book. Saoirse Ronan really brought the book to the screen. She was totally believable.” — Heather Ross
