Is 2014 a strong or a weak year for the Best Actress Oscar race?
Hard to tell. One thing is certain: As always, the Best Actor category is much more crowded.
As of today, these are the actresses who may vie for the female lead kudo:
Reese Witherspoon, Wild
Shailene Woodley, The Fault in Our Stars
Hillary Swank, The Homesman
Felicity, The Theory of Everything
Meryl Streep, Into the Wood (could be supporting)
Rosario Dawson, Top Five
