| Best Lead Actress in a Motion Picture | ||||||||
| This is an independent actresses year. First the "indie" films "wowed" us, now the "indie" actresses "wow" us. Patricia Clarckson was beyond belief, Charlize Theron became the million dollar woman, and Shoreh Aghdashloo came out of nowhere(well she did come from Iran, but...). Charlize Theron gave us one of the most heatwrenching, tearjerking, emotionally stirring performances in recent history. Her Oscar can now sit on her mantle piece and await the other Oscars which she will undoubtedly get because she can now get the roles that will get her to that ceremony again and again. Winner:Charlize Theron-Monster Other Nominees:Keisha Castle-Hughes-Whale Rider Diane Keaton-Something's Gotta Give Samantha Morton-In America Naomi Watts-21 Grams |
