    Every year the Supporting Categories are the hardest to predict. And it makes me so damn frustrated. Grr. This year I am 100% positive two actresses will receive nominations; Octavia Spencer and Berenice Bejo.

    Since the beginning of this crazy awards season I have been torn with the notion of Jessica Chastain and Melissa McCarthy receiving nominations. Jessica Chastain was in a bunch of movies this year and I’m happy The Help is the one she is getting notice for, but there is this inkling inside of me that wonders if she’ll be victim to a vote split and completely miss the nomination. On the other hand, if Melissa McCarthy received a nomination I would smile wide, very wide, but I keep wondering if the academy will shut her out just because it’s comedy. But, then I think back to when Robert Downey Jr. received a nomination for Tropic Thunder. So, that tells me anything can happen and that McCarthy has a great chance of hearing her name called Oscar morning.

    Now, if Bejo, Spencer, Chastain, and McCarthy receive nominations that leaves one spot. And that spot will be filled by Janet McTeer, Shailene Woodley, or Carey Mulligan.

    Let’s review the possible nominees for Best Supporting Actress.

    Octavia Spencer- The Help

    I’ve grown up always being able to share my love of film with others. What makes it particularly important to me is that my passion started with my parents and my best friend Caitlin. Whether it has been spending the whole day at the theater with my parents, or sitting on the floor of a movie store for hours with Caitlin, this love of mine has always been a huge part of who I am. This love affair has been going strong for over a decade. My name is Anna and I’m in love with film. Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AYAwardsCircuit

    1. I’m less solid than you are on McTeer, but we shall see…

    2. At this point the only questionable choice is McTeer, I still think Woodley has a better chance but it’s between them both with maybe a surprise showing from Mulligan for “Shame”.

    3. I don’t think there is a chance for Mulligan in Drive, especially if you consider vote splitting.

    4. I think Mulligan will be a suprise nominee, like Maggie G was for Crazy Heart.

    5. wow you were perfect! Sorry for coming into this article late. Although the Octavia Spencer win was expected and deserved I had really hoped for a Chastain/McCarthy win.
