Cate Blanchett - Blue Jasmine |
| |
Although Blanchett is still the front-runner, the recent mini-scandal involving Woody Allen and the allegations against him are certainly not welcome news for the actress, who is certainly wishing that the Winter Olympics had not added an extra week to Oscar voting this year. |

Amy Adams - American Hustle |
| |
Adams is still in distant second, but Ms. Blanchett's misfortunes are her gains. Perhaps she should send anonymous copies of Dylan Farrow's letter to Academy members? We're joking, of course. |

Judi Dench - Philomena |
| |
Although the three remaining contenders have arguably faded from the race, Dame Judi is gaining some traction as people finally see her film and respect her performance, which is arguably outside her usual comfort zone. |

Sandra Bullock - Gravity |
| |
Like space debris, all the attention has showered on Gravity's technical aspects and largely ignored Bullock, as Oscar will on Oscar night. |

Meryl Streep - August: Osage County |
| |
Streep already won by deforming her face and body. She's going to have to try even harder if she's going to stand a chance to match Katharine Hepburn's Oscar tally. |
