Best Leading Actress 2005

By John • Mar 1st, 2006 • Category: Oscar Talk

And the nominations for actress in a leading role are:

  • Judi Dench in “Mrs. Henderson Presents” (not seen)
  • Felicity Huffman in “Transamerica”  (not seen)
  • Keira Knightley in “Pride & Prejudice”
  • Charlize Theron in “North Country”
  • Reese Witherspoon in “Walk the Line”

Huffman won the Golden Globe but the movie was not seen by a lot of people (I haven’t!) so I doubt she will win. Theron gave a good performance, but it wasn’t spectacular. I really liked Knightley’s performance, truly a revelation for me. But the winner for me is Witherspoon. She completely changed my opinion about her, and she was justlikable and true. And a great singer. Hands down my favorite.
