An e-mailer: “Your predictions seem to indicate that the Oscars will be entirely politically motivated (gay promotion, Bushchimphitler) with the exception of Reese/Walk the Line. Is there no female lead to fill a political slot there?” There are two. Charlize Theron was nominated for her performance as a sexually harrassed woman in North Country, but not even her own mother saw that movie. And Felicity Huffman could get the be-nice-to-your-transgendered-friends award for her performance as a transsexual in Transamerica. But she won’t, because while Hollywood loves a political award, it also loves anointing a hard-working cutie pie like Reese.
