   No Meryl, no Michelle. Wow. Yay for Tilda!
   And I’m surprised Rooney’s the winner but it’s surely awesome.

   What the f*ck happened??? I don’t know about Mara… mimicking/interpreting a character really doesn’t impress me that much.

   I haven’t seen the Kevin film but the Tilda Swinton pray is starting to build some hype.

   Great list. I’m glad to see Kirsten Dunst is number 3 on here. Appearntly winning at Cannes means you don’t get a nomination anywhere else.

   Ok, so far this is the only category where I dislike our list compared to the Oscar nominations.

     I think, on the whole, I like our list better, I just don’t know about Mara as the top choice. She was one of my favorites of the year, but I don’t feel like she’s deserving of the top spot.

   @Joel: Wait, wait, wait. Interpreting a character doesn’t impress you? So, you are never impressed?

   And Mara wasn’t mimicking Rapace. He Lisbeth is different in lots of ways.

     Haha, I think Joel’s worded it strangely. In acting you’re either giving your “interpretation” or “mimicking”.

   I like everyone on this list. Especially Mara, who I thought was great in her role. Surprising to see Binoche, though, but she really was great in Certified Copy.
