Oscars: Best actress
Michelle Williams got a much-deserved Oscar nomination for her role as a disillusioned wife in “Blue Valentine.” But another stellar performance, by Lesley Manville in “Another Year,” was overlooked.
Instead, Nicole Kidman eked in with her role in “Rabbit Hole” and Jennifer Lawrence was something of a surprise for the tough young woman in “Winter’s Bone.” Still, Lawrence’s nomination is a coup for the small movie about the Ozarks.
Other nominees include the brilliant Annette Bening for “The Kids Are All Right” and Natalie Portman for the deranged ballerina in “Black Swan.”
