actress: this is a great category with amazing nominee's and i'd be happy to see any of them win. but go see frozen river. she has no chance but i'd vote for melissa leo.

I strongly DISAGREE about Ledger. I think it is the most overrated acting performance in recent memory.
But, I strongly AGREE about Melissa Leo in Frozen River. In my opinion it was the best acting performance of the year....man or woman.

Unfortunately, Ledger will probably win....and Leo - as you say - has no chance.

I never liked Melissa Leo on All My Children.

It's lame to speak up for the majority, but I thought Ledger was great, if only because he made an otherwise awful movie semi-watchable.

I thought that is why they cast Christian Bale


SWOON!

It isn't like I thought he was terrible. He did a perfectly acceptable job, but I don't understand why everybody is falling all over themselves about his performance.

Shockingly, The Dark Knight received consideration for a Best Pic nomination. I also thought it sucked ass.
