- Cate Blanchett. How many tours-de-force can a person have? One can’t imagine any other actress commanding the screen in “Carol,” “Blue Jasmine,” “Elizabeth” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” like Blanchett.
- Kate Winslet. Four of Winslet’s first five roles are as follows: “Sense and Sensibility” (Austen), “Jude” (Hardy), “Hamlet” (Shakespeare) and “Heavenly Creatures,” in which she plays an obsessive, murderous teen.
- Meryl Streep. Of course we love Streep. Who doesn’t love Streep? The Academy loves Streep – she has 21 Oscar nominations, give or take several hundred, and three wins, give or take a dozen.
- Tilda Swinton. Whether it’s a mega-budget studio tentpole or an arthouse indie, Swinton makes any movie she’s in at least 32 percent weirder. That’s a fact supported by science and things.

Sally Hawkins, previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Blue Jasmine" (and robbed of a nomination for "Happy-Go-Lucky"), brought a winsome innocence to her not-so-very-innocent character Elisa in Guillermo del Toro's romantic fable/sci-fi story, "The Shape of Water." As a mute cleaning woman whose scars suggest a difficult life, her fa...
An Oscar-winner for her delightful turn as pregnant police officer Marge Gunderson in the Coen Brothers' "Fargo," Frances McDormand is nominated for a much darker character -- a woman who seeks justice for her murdered daughter and, barring that, a measure of vengeance -- in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." The bitterness and obstinance...
The faux-documentary "I, Tonya" is a terrific blend of narrative styles as it tells the story of an American Tragi-Comedy: the rise and fall of Olympic skater Tonya Harding and the dastardly assault on her rival Nancy Kerrigan. The performance of Margot Robbie as Harding perfectly captures the skater's ambition and chip-on-the-shoulder attitude, an...
It is remarkable that Saoirse Ronan, who first came to attention playing a complicated teenager in the 2007 film "Atonement," is still playing complicated teenagers a decade later. But she does it beautifully in Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird," which dramatizes in moments large and small a year in the life of a high school senior in Sacramento. She's ea...
Another year, another Oscar nomination for Meryl Streep. It's easy to feel blasé when she holds the record for an actor, with 21 nominations. (She's won three times, most recently for "The Iron Lady.") But the sheer breadth of her work and her remarkable talent cannot be overstated. And that is particularly true of her performance as Katherine Grah...
