Saoirse Ronan - Brooklyn |
| |
Saoirse showcases her movie throughout, and her lack of misses with SAG and Globes, not to mention critics, show she has the most consensus. |

Brie Larson - Room |
| |
But, it will be a neck and neck finish with Larson, whose absence in the third act of her picture could hurt a bit. |

Rooney Mara - Carol |
| |
I have a crazy theory that Rooney will get in and Cate will be left out. We shall see. |

Jennifer Lawrence - Joy |
| |
Critics may be panning the movie, but I think the audiences and the Academy will respond. The Globe for Comedy actress seems almost a gimme at this point, too. |

Cate Blanchett - Carol |
| |
Cate is marvelous, as is she normally is, but I really wonder whether they won't find Mara's performance the harder of the two. Almost every year there is someone who got Globe+SAG that misses here, and Cate could be the one. |

Charlotte Rampling - 45 Years |
| |
She didn't make it into SAG or the Globes, which really hurts, but the critics are giving it to her when it's not Saoirse. The veteran seems to have better than decent chances now. |

Charlize Theron - Mad Max |
| |
Mad Max's surge in the last week could carry her in its wave. |

Lily Tomlin - Grandma |
| |
The Globe comedy nomination helps, even if the SAG miss does not. |

Carey Mulligan - Suffragette |
| |
She's fading fast and on life support. |

Helen Mirren - Woman in Gold |
| |
Of the two SAG shockers, Mirren has a leg up over Silverman, not only because she is a veteran, but because she has Weinstein behind her. |
