Singing I Dreamed a Dream in quivering macro close-up while dying of Generic Tragic Wasting Disease: Thats acting. Not to me, but it is to a lot of people, and Im guessing itll be to Oscar voters. And good for Hathaway, whos deserving, if not for this. The Paperboy may be a modern camp classic, but Kidman does strange and wonderful things in it. Adams delivers the sneakiest, most subtle performance in Master no way shell win.

Janice Page says ...
Front-runner Anne Hathaway is a Hollywood darling but she may be a victim of viral video parodies and her own hyper-prattling Golden Globes speech. Field could swoop in (please, God, let her talk off the cuff) or Adams, who quietly commanded every inch of The Master. Never heard of Ann Dowd? Shes from Holyoke, and she made a throwaway movie something to see.
