Best Actress

Sure-Things:

Viola Davis, The Help

Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady

Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk About Kevin

Michelle Williams, My Week With Marilyn

Remaining Prediction:

Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs

Alternates:

Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Charlize Theron, Young Adult

Long-Shots:

Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia

Elizabeth Olson, Martha Marcy May Marlene

Kristin Wiig, Bridesmaids

It’s a tough call: Dragon Tattoo did really well with the Guild Awards, and Mara would be the only first-time nominee in the group, but Close edged her out for the SAG nod.
