Alicia Vikander - The Danish Girl |
| |
I had her for lead and she made it for supporting. That alone may make her the front-runner, as lead performances win here when they're present. |

Rooney Mara - Carol |
| |
Mara finally did end up here due to category fraud, but her more muted performance will hurt her vs. Vikander |

Jennifer Jason Leigh - The Hateful Eight |
| |
The other contenders, meanwhile, can cry bloody murder. Of the roles, Leigh's is the most supporting and probably the most deserving, but I doubt she wins. |

Kate Winslet - Steve Jobs |
| |
Winslet made it despite screenplay snubs against Jobs. Her Globe will is unlikely to translate into Oscar gold but let's wait and see what SAG and BAFTA say. |

Rachel McAdams - Spotlight |
| |
Spotlight flexed its muscle by pulling her in here, as the actors branch clearly wanted to shore up the tally for the Best Picture frontrunner. |
