    thank you for hosting this. I'm amazed at the number of women cited and it's so cool that it's not just the usual suspects. if only awards season would show as much film-loving variety

    I agree! The variety is delicious, and the write-ups have been great fun to read. I hope there are even more coming!

    I'm only aware of one (for sure) that's still on it's way. Other than that, we can just keep our fingers crossed...

    But the range? Exactly what I hoped for... It's like Xmas all over again!

    Yeah, I'm shocked that there's so much diversity.

    Well done StinkyLu! You deserve big props!

    it's also nice that half of the frontrunners are absent. nice to hear about other performances in such a good year for acting.

    Darn, I would have liked to have written about Phyllis Somerville in "Little Children." :(

    Otherwise another great feature. I like getting convinced to watch even more movies (Nick & Nathaniel's being most convincing in the "why couldn't I see it that way?" sense).

    Back atcha y'all on the "props" point. It's been a totally awesome "if you build it..." kinda thing. And given that I didn't ask folks to "claim" who they were writing about, I'm frankly shocked that we didn't develop a few "piles" on particular perfs. (Indeed, my big gay fear was that it'd be all about Blunt & JHud, with one or two others.)

    And, to JS and others, I'm still accepting posts... So if the actressexual spirit so moves ya...

    Holy crap! I just watched Water. Seema Biswas! Yowza.

    I know, kamikaze, I know.

    Biswas and Epps are -- I think -- my favorite performances of the year.
