    Jovovich? I guess Armond White votes for these.

    I really love the list, though. The top TEN is really great and the mentions for Anders Danielsen Lie and Muhammet Uzuner are great! Love the list overall.

    Resident Evil: Retribution has its champions, even among the snobby critics from Slant, MUBI and Cinema Scope.

    Dame Leo quotes,

    "48. Melissa Leo, Francine (9)"

    Dame Leo says,

    It's about selling moootiooooooon pictuchaaas and RESPECTIN THE CRAFT!!!

    Dame Leo behind Milla Jolovoich and Satellite Award nominee Keira Knightley??? Tis an outrage!

    This is why Julianne Moore has never won an Oscar

    The only thing that would have made this better is if Jovovich scored higher than Knightley.

    Cecile De France in The Kid with the Bike gave an emotionally crushing performance so to see her below Jovovich is

    It's so tragic that it's just really amusing now.

    To be fair, I'm a big KK fan, but her performance in AK was nothing special.

    It's been quite divisive: either decent/average or she was wonderful/career best work. Interested to see what I think myself, especially how it fits with the world Wright created.

    I wouldn't say it was nothing special but I'm a pretty big fan of her and I don't really feel it is nomination worthy. I thought she was better with her two performances last year and with Never Let Me Go before that. I actually prefer her to some current contenders but I can't say objectively that she would deserve any of these nominations she's not getting, lol.

    It's my mom's favorite performance of the year though, randomly.

    which proofs they have a great taste. Rachel making the top 10

    I know Waltz is only at 10 points but he keeps to be pointed out as the only actor from Django, I have a feeling it will be him or nobody from it to get an oscar nod.

    There's something wrong with this signature.
    Can you find that ONE mistake?

    Robert Pattinson getting a mention here is deserved but the complete absence of Paul Giamatti at this year's awards and lists is really susprising. He's my fave supporting performance of the year so far.

    This is for lead performances. Category confusion probably explains his low amount of points, while Dicaprio and Jackson are clearly supporting contenders.
