Amy Is In...Even More than we Thought

Ever since she started gathering buzz, I thought that Amy Adams in Enchanted could spice up the boring Best Actress race and garner a nomination. However, with these reviews, she's looking at a chance for a win. That's right. I said it.

Let's consider what she has going for her:

-She's unknown to the public, but Academy members and film lovers remember her in Junebug, where she also played a lovable character, and got a nomination (I have to rent that).

-Her film has been getting sensational reviews, and the reviews have indicated that she is what carries the movie.

-She has been compared to Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins. If that's true...look out.

-She has limited competition. The only real contenders for the win are Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard (both Musical/Comedy contenders, as it would seem).

-Oscar loves traditional Disney. Especially if it's good.


If these reviews and this buzz continues, then prepare for the unseen clean-sweeper of the year.

Yeah, that comparison to Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins is amazing.

I know I'm the only one, but I really don't see Marion Cotillard as a contender. But yes, the Best Actress race is looking surprisingly weak and surprisingly extremely C/M (Page, HBC, Linney, Cotillard (maybe))

Amy Adams is "Enchanted". She gave a great nomination worthy performance.
