James received a Golden Globe nomination for Atonement. Daniel Day-Lewis won that year (There Will Be Blood). James is always great, though. Current Score (come on voters): Rachel Bilson [8] Saoirse Ronan [6]

That role resulted in her first Oscar nomination. Tilda Swinton won. (not that anyone was curious)

Thank you for running the comp.

^ One of the reasons I like this survival is that everyone can vote for different reasons. Sometimes, I may vote for different reasons from one pairing to the next.

We can come up with ideas, and maybe some combination of the them could work, but they are never going to give up control. It may be more than semi-public knowledge that this is how the process works, but there are limits to it. It's true that a small movie with no money has a harder time wooing the judges, but no amount of money can overcome a truly bad movie and get a win. The Academy has changed the makeup of its members in recent years in hopes of avoiding ridicule, but the fact that keeps them free of complete distrust in the system is that there is very rarely a clear best anything. In any year a number of actors, movies, directors could win and it's hard to say they didn't deserve it. You can say someone else did, but not that the winner didn't. (somewhat off topic, but I was bored and I thought of it )
