Emma Stone - La La Land |
| |
Though the Oscar circles name her the frontrunner, I hold out high hope that an actually better performance (Adams, hopefully) will triumph. |

Jessica Chastain - Miss Sloane |
| |
Since the allegory to Hillary Clinton in her character is too obvious to ignore, sensitivity to politics may doom this otherwise deserving role. |
| 3 |

Amy Adams - Arrival |
| |
The movie is carried by her moving performance and is the deserving winner. Could it be that three redheads will be vying for the gold? |

Ruth Negga - Loving |
| |
Meanwhile, Negga could upset them all with her understated but moving turn as Mildred Loving. |

Isabelle Huppert - Elle |
| |
If there is a Charlotte Rampling/Emanuelle Riva slot this year, it will go to the veteran French actress. |
| 6 |

69 |
Natalie Portman - Jackie |
| |
But of course you can't take my ranking too seriously given that I have Portman, a real chance to win, let alone get nominated, is only at a pitiful 6. |
