I love Sandra, but she just isn't Oscar material. As I've stated before, she might have been good in her role, but it wasn't something that many other actresses couldn't have pulled off just as well, if not better. For some reason, she's captured all of the buzz and will probably be taking home the statue tomorrow. She's also been making the rounds this past month, schmoozing with Academy members. Not that I can blame her for that, I'd probably do the same thing. However, if there's any category this year that has any wiggle room at all for another winner, it's this one. It would be nice to see this as a repeat of the Lead Actor category last year. Both Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn were front runners, with Mickey having a bit more of an edge and ultimately expected to win. However, Sean won. I'd love to see Meryl take it.
