I've noticed that many people are still calling
Cate Blanchett the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actress for her "Katharine Hepburn" in
The Aviator. And I'm wondering why.
She didn't win the NBR. Didn't win the Globe. Didn't win the BFCA. She lost the three major critics awards (NYFCC, LAFCA, and NSFC). Yet, people still proclaim her the frontrunner. Hmmmm. Conspiracy of wishful thinking or good common predictive sense about her connection to a majorly nominated film and the film's no-chance status in the other acting races?
