I think that the Academy might wait and honor Zellwegger for the second Bridget Jones movie for lead actress. Also, while Theron is the clear frontrunner for actress, I would not be the least bit surprised if it goes to Diane Keaton.

That's fine. I don't mind if mods want to close this thread and re-direct folks. I should have performed a search. My bad.
