BEST ACTRESS
Actress - Film	Comment
Annette Bening - Being Julia (GG/C-M)	Beginning to look inevitable... Staunton & Rossum are the kinds of breakouts that usually get Supporting wins
Imelda Staunton - Vera Drake (GG/D)	Pretty much undeniable
Emmy Rossum - Phantom Of The Opera (GG/C-M)	She sings, she swoons, she's a great story
Kate Winslet - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (GG/C-M)	Flipping to Globes comedy... will it cost her an Oscar nod?
Scarlet Johansson - A Love Song For Bobby Long (GG/D)	In a very, very thin year, a chance to give her something for last year
Additional Golden Globe Contenders (Drama) 3 of 4 likely
Hilary Swank - Million Dollar Baby	Still waiting... but in a thin year...
Laura Dern - We Don't Live Here Anymore	Wonderful performance... great in person
Kim Basinger - The Door In The Floor	Could make the leap without anyone in the way... hard to imagine HFPA going for a young non-English speaker
Catalina Sandrino Morengo - Maria Full Of Grace	A young non-English speaker
Julia Roberts - Closer	It's not her year.
Additional Golden Globe Contenders (Comedy/Musical) 2 of 4 likely
Kate Bosworth - Beyond The Sea	They love the movie and with some free slots...
Julie Delpy - Before Sunset	There is some hardcore support... but enough?
Tea Leoni - Spanglish	Does she make it or break it?
Laura Linney - P.S.	The movie probably isn't good enough
Natalie Portman - Garden State	If it weren't for Closer, this movie stealing role could get her there
And...
Claine Danes - Stage Beauty
Audrey Tautou - A Very Long Engagement
Renee Zellweger - Bridget Jones: Edge Of Reason

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Actress - Film	Comment
Natalie Portman - Closer	Brilliant... vulnerable... likable
Virginia Madsen - Sideways	The grape speech makes the comeback go
Cloris Leachman - Spanglish	Tart seniors... love 'em!
Laura Linney - Kinsey	Big role... fine work...
Sophie Okonedo - Hotel Rwanda	Could be a consolation prize
X
Potential Alt Golden Globers
Meryl Streep - The Manchurian Candidate	Could move up
Lynn Redgrave - Kinsey	Hard to get two nods for one film
Paz Vega - Spanglish	She's the wildcard... could go from zero to a win
Kate WInslet - Finding Neverland	Likely to go for Eternal Sunshine or this, but not both... Golden Globe comedy slot could tip scale
And...
Lauren Bacall - Birth
Cate Blanchett - The Aviator
Regina King - Ray
Barbra Streisand - Meet The Fockers
