For the award for an Actress in a Supporting Role, the nominees are…
• Cate Blanchett/“The Aviator”
• Laura Linney/“Kinsey”
• Virginia Madsen/“Sideways”
• Sophie Okonedo/“Hotel Rwanda”
• Natalie Portman/“Closer”
This is the toughest category to choose, but I think the winner of this award will be Cate Blanchett for “The Aviator.” more
