This years Oscar nominations have been greatly anticipated. There are several deserving leading actresses from Hollywood, but only one can get the final award. Of course, simply getting a nomination alone is recognition of an excellent job well done.
Sandra Bullock is a well known actress. She gained her fame by starring in small roles and working her way up. 2009 was a big year for Sandra, because she was the leading actress in many big and well performing films of the year. She is being nominated for her astounding performance in \”The Blindside\”, where her character takes in a young boy that is homeless. Her acting here is why she was nominated and will continue to do well.
Another top ranking movie called \”Precious\” charmed watchers around the country. The leading Hollywood actress, Gabourey Sidibe took over the big screen with her acting power. Her bold role struck critics as awe inspiring. Gabourey Sidibe is one of the never before seen actresses that made it big last year, and is also nominated for a leading actresses Oscar.
Gabourey is the only new young Hollywood actress competing for an Oscar. Carey Mulligan is another new actress that is up for an Oscar thanks to her shockingly dramatic role in \”An Education.\” She played in British small films but \”An Education\” is receiving praise and significant interest thanks to the storyline and her excellent acting skill.
Next up is Penelope Cruz, a well known Hispanic actress that is always stunning on the red carpet. She is nominated for a supporting actress role for the movie \”9\” and continues to awe her fans with her acting prowess. Penelope is often misunderstood as a B list star, but her acting and fashion sense definitely have the ability to make her the top of the list.
Unlike other movie stars, Mo\’Nique hasn\’t been in the spotlight. Even though she is well known in Hollywood, she tends to lay low. She also played in the movie, Precious, based off the novel \”Push\” by Sapphire. She plays the evil mother that is abusive and beats her pregnant daughter. Her role is very realistic and powerful – which is why she was nominated as a supporting actress.
