Every time she's nominated, another actress gives a performance that's a no brainer for winning the Oscar. 1991, Whoopi was due for one. 2000 and 2005, Hilary Swank gave terrific performances. This year, Natalie Portman will obviously win. She's swept all the awards so far. She needs to give a great performance in a mediocre year for movies, kind of like the year Reese Witherspoon won.

shareSwank deserved both of her Oscars. You don't know what you're talking about. You obviously have not seen Boys Don't Cry.
share"Two Lead Actress Oscars, though, are a bit too much for an actress like Swank."
An actress like Swank? What's that supposed to mean? 2 Oscars given to a great actress. What's the crime in that? You act like she's Megan Fox or something, the woman can act. I prefer when the Academy actually gives the best performance the trophy.
I have seen Boys Don't Cry. And I still say Bening DESERVED the oscar.
It is not as difficult to just be a straight up depressing, tragic character the whole movie.
On the other hand, Bening delivered a performance that was so incredibly layered-- she was tragic, funny, empowered, vulnerable-- all with great authenticity.
It would be a travesty if Natalie lost to Annette.
