Gabby Sidibe, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Katie Jarvis, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tilda Swinton and Penelope Cruz; some would say Abbie Cornish, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Michelle Monaghan, Emily Blunt, Audrey Tautou and Zooey Deschanel; potentially Marion Cotillard, Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep (again) and Natalie Portman — this is NOT a weak year for lead actress performances.

2006 was one year in which all 5 nominees were Oscar-worthy. Then, I thought it belonged to Mirren. Now, I would go with Dench or Winslet. 2009 looks to repeat.
By “repeat,” you mean Mirren’s gonna win? I have a hard time picturing that, personally.
Please, Oscar for Michelle Pffeifer¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
