I like all of these but it's hard to disagree with Leo as the winner, she steals every scene much like Christian Bale so they made two great winners. I liked that this role was so different for Amy and she had some fab 'yaaasss' moments too. It pains to me to put Queen HBC last because I adore it but the role wasn't the most challenging even if she was great at it! She should have way more than two nominations by now :(

 

In terms of snubs, I think Mila Kunis & Barbara Hershey would have rounded out my top five for Black Swan. I was especially sad about the former missing out, a shame she doesn't seem to be getting any great roles anymore :(

Amy was MUCH better than Melissa -_- The Fighter is the most UN Amy role ever and she nailed it. She should have won alone for the fight scene. Can you imagine Giselle or Louise Banks breaking someones nose? NO.
