Ask a bunch of people which actress will win the Best Actress Oscar this year and you're bound to get five different answers. Some of the nominees are favored but not necessarily because they triumphed in their roles.
In Beasts of the Southern Wild, Quvenzhane Wallis plays Hushpuppy, the runt who survives the odds as her community becomes overwhelmed by floods. The young actress could not have imagined she would get an Oscar nomination.
But despite a soulful performance, Wallis is too new to win the golden statuette.
Naomi Watts is in the running for her performance in the The Impossible. She plays a mother of three caught in Thailand's 2004 Tsunami.
This is the second Oscar nomination for Watts. The first was for her role as a grieving wife and mother in 21 Grams.
So far, Watt’s performance in The Impossible has not gained enough momentum to put her in the lead.
At 86, Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest nominee ever for a Best Actress Oscar. She's had a long and illustrious career in her native France.
She became known in 1959 for her role in Alain Resnais' ground breaking film Hiroshima Mon Amour.
Critics have hailed Riva’s performance in Amour, about an elderly woman who is slowly dying. But Riva's gut wrenching interpretation of Anne may not yield an Oscar.
Some say she is too old and the film too esoteric for Oscar voters.
And that leaves the frontrunners. Jessica Chastain is one.
