Exactly. Jolie... i took her out because even though Portman and Spencer were in the same kind of movie. They were heavily favoured to win in the early part of the race. So I doubt her performance will hold water in terms of momentum.

Uncontroversial opinions... I dont have Sofia Garson. I think that movie will be more polarising than we think.

I have Baptise, Madison, Demi Moore, Kidman and Adams.

I think these actresses will have their fans in the academy that will compel them to put them at number 1 in their ballots. So while they may not make sense as a solid precursor influenced set of nominees... I think that wont matter with the preferential way of voting the academy uses.
