She herself didn't believe she was worthy of Oscar, but I'm sure Ellen Page can't argue with the overwhelming results in the Best Actress category, where she won by a 57% margin over Amy Adams. Adams in turn finished 21% ahead of Helena Bonham-Carter. A trio of supporting turns comes next, with Jennifer Garner well ahead of Calvin winner Amy Ryan, and Cate Blanchett a bit further back.

Blanchett is incidentally the highest ranking actress to fail to interest the BOP staff. Conversely, staff choices Marketa Irglova (Once) in the lead category and Leslie Mann (Knocked Up) in the supporting category got no love from you readers.

The returning champion for the ladies is ... *does a doubletake* ... Ellen Page? Showing the world they can spot a rising star, readers made Page's turn in Hard Candy their twelfth-ranked performance of last year.
