Cate Blanchett - Carol |
| |
It seems hard to think that Cate will total Meryl Streep's Oscar tally, but her performance in Carol is widely acclaimed. |

Brie Larson - Room |
| |
With Room's Toronto boost, the up and coming Larson is all but guaranteed a spot in the final five. The babe factor will help her too. |

70 |
Saoirse Ronan - Brooklyn |
| |
A past nominee for Atonement, the young actress carries the beloved Sundance hit, and should have space in the final list. |

Carey Mulligan - Suffragette |
| |
The movie will have to be well-reviewed to help Mulligan, but it's female driven and this will help. |

Jennifer Lawrence - Joy |
| |
David O. Russell is good at getting nominations for his actors, and Lawrence is beloved. Another Hunger Games strong performance won't hurt. |

Charlotte Rampling - 45 Years |
| |
The only question is whether the movie will be widely seen, but there is always space for this off-the-cuff, well-respected actress to get in. |
| 7 |

Cate Blanchett - Truth |
| |
Cate's performance in this movie is even more highly regarded than in Carol, but she can only be nominated for one, and the campaign seems to be coalescing around the Todd Haynes vehicle. |

Maggie Smith - The Lady in the Van |
| |
Again, will the movie be widely seen? If it is, Dame Maggie has a good shoot of returning to the Oscars spotlight |

Charlize Theron - Mad Max |
| |
The voters love it when they ugly themselves up, but this movie may have been released too early. |

Lily Tomlin - Grandma |
| |
The performance has been universally praised, but the movie didn't do well. |
