2007 is more then half over (can you believe it?), and already there are some front-runners for the big prizes this movie year.Sure things in their respective categories at this point are Michael Moore's health care doc Sicko, Disney/Pixar's animated hit Ratatouille, and two strong contenders for Best Actor: Don Cheadle in Talk to Me and Christian Bale (finally) in Rescue Dawn.
But the big surprise is in the usually hard-to-fill Best Actress race. There are no less then four women gaining much-needed buzz:
- Marion Cotillard as chanteuse Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
- Julie Christie as an Alzheimer's victim in Away from Her.
- Angelina Jolie as Mariane Pearl, wife of slain reporter Danny Pearl, in A Mighty Heart.
- Sigourney Weaver as a mother traumatized by her daughter's disappearance in The Girl in the Park.
Of course, very few people have actually seen most of these movies, but there is no doubt that this year's race is on.
