O'Neil's Tight Best Actress Race

Comically, Tom O'Neil takes the position that the race for Best Actress is strong this year. But even he can barely come up with enough names to fill the Golden Globes ballot.

In total, he offers 13 possibles. Three are mentioned on page one (Huffman/Zhang/Knightley). Three more are mentioned on the next two pages (Danes/Kilcher/Witherspoon) and then, on page four, six more candidates (Dench/Diaz/Aniston/Allen/Zellweger/Theron/Paltrow).

So, In Her Shoes, Rumor Has It, Cinderella Man, and Proof are back in Oscar contention for Best Actress? Seems like a long stretch to anyone who isn't doing favors for publicists... or at least trying to find someone to fill Globes slots.

The Best Actress race for Oscar is, at best, eight deep.

Flooded? No.
