OSCAR PREDICTION: Actress:
Naomi Watts, 21 Grams -- Should win. Powerful performance as a happily married mother who has everything torn away from her.
Charlize Theron, Monster -- Will win. She uglied herself up to get into the mind of a serial killer. A good performance, but not the best.
Keisha Castle-Hughes, Whale Rider -- A pleasant surprise of a nomination, but she probably has little to no chance.
Diane Keaton, Something's Gotta Give -- I don't really know why she was nominated.
Samantha Morton, In America -- DID NOT SEE
