Imelda Staunton - Vera Drake (GG/D - BFCA)	She's too great not to be nominated, but probably can't win
Annette Bening - Being Julia (GG/C-M - BFCA)	The movie just isn't helping...
Golden Globe/BFCA Possibles
Kate Winslet - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (GG/C-M - BFCA)	Tremendous performance of range and subtlety
Scarlet Johansson - A Love Song For Bobby Long (GG/D)	The most Academy friendly of the young ones
Emmy Rossum - Phantom Of The Opera (GG/C-M - BFCA Young Actress)	Amazing in many ways... but dependent on the film
