Cate Blanchett - Blue Jasmine |
| |
The only knock against her candidacy is that Adams, her strongest opponent, is the only person in the category who has never won. That is a recipe for an upset. We still believe Blanchett's victory is a foregone conclusion, though. |

Amy Adams - American Hustle |
| |
She may not have appeared in Bridesmaids yet the phrase "always a bridesmaid" definitely applies with regards to Oscar. |

Sandra Bullock - Gravity |
| |
She would be the prohibitive favorite in this category if she had not won in 2010. In some ways, Gravity is history repeating itself from The Blind Side. We do not think she will win this time, but her performance is worthy. |

Judi Dench - Philomena |
| |
This is actually Dench's first nomination in seven years. Adams, Blanchett and Streep have been nominated four times each during that time frame. Stop slacking, Dame Judi! |

Meryl Streep - August: Osage County |
| |
She has been nominated 18 times. Everyone else in this category in combination has been nominated 20 times. Let that spin in your head for a moment. |
