How do you rank the Top 8 contenders in Best Actress?

1. Johansson - I was very impressed. I preferred Driver a tad more, but I hope that Johansson ends up being able to upset because I think she deserves it this year, and I can see Driver winning for something else.

2. Ronan - Maybe not her impressive performance, but I thought she had a lot of fine moments especially when she's dealing with Beth's illness and the subsequent fallout.

3. Zellweger - It was my favorite performance of the year, and right after seeing it, I got the feeling that she would win because it was so baity. However, I think the rest of the film brings her down, and her performance is uneven especially before she moves to England, imo.

4. Nyong'o - I think I'm one of the few here that really liked Us; although I do have to have to admit that the third act really brings in down a lot especially having Nyong'o do all the exposition about what happened. I think Nyong'o was good, but I prefer other performances more.

5. Awkwafina - She's fine. I would have gone with any of the other nominees in her Globe category, but I don't think she's terrible, so at least she made history by finally being the first Asian actress to win a leading Globe.

-I have to admit that being sick for the past few weeks has kicked my butt, so I couldn't make it out of the house to go to the movies for awhile. I felt better the past few days and was going to go see 1917 and either Bombshell or Just Mercy, but I'm still coughing and started to feel weird right before I went to see 1917 that I would have an embarrassing coughing fit during it, so I canceled because I don't want to disrupt the movie for others. So I haven't seen Bombshell yet, and I missed Harriet when it first came out. I was going to go see it, but something always came up.

Clemency still hasn't made it here, but looking at the big campus theater, it should be here in two weeks. So hopefully I'll have recovered and be able to see it by then.

is Woodard even in the top 8. Haven't seen her yet but she looks great in the trailer. I really think I'll like that performance a lot when I get to see it.

not really crazy about any of the rest of these sans Johansson. Theron and Zellweger are pretty good.
