I haven't seen any of these movies. No idea who's taking it home.

Just give it to Larson now.

Yawns.

I wasn't expecting her to be nominated, but I'm kind of disappointed that Carey Mulligan hasn't had more awards/nominations/buzz for her performance in Suffragette which I thought was a very good performance, she really carries the film. I can see why some people might not like the film but her performance deserved more recognition, I thought.

But I haven't seen any of the nominated performances yet, perhaps it was just a very strong year. I've heard really good things about Saiorsie Ronan and Brie Larson's performances.

Wow, still haven't seen four of these so I will wait to vote.

Shock, J-Law got a nom hoping Ms. Blanchett gets the win though

Can we get off the Jennifer Lawrence train now???

Larson.

I thought Charlotte Rampling gave the best performance. Brie Larson is the frontrunner, but having seen all five I don't know why. And Rooney Mara is the real lead in Carol, but they pushed her in the Supporting category.

I love Jen, but why is she on this list? Joy was not a good movie....

I thought Brie Larson was very deserving. I haven't seen the other four yet though.

Brie Larson

1. Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
2. Brie Larson, Room
3. Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
4. Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
5. Cate Blanchett, Carol

Oh, yes it was.

I liked Joy, and I think her performance is pretty damn good, even if she is miscast.

Brie Larson is the guaranteed winner

Oh, no it wasn't.

"Oh, no it wasn't," my ass.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I thought it was a pretty mediocre film, just like American Hustle....

Brie Larson is freaking gorgeous
