I wish. It seemed possible over a week ago but not so much anymore.

I was already rooting for her, but this makes me want her to be nominated all the more. I don't see why Magnolia wouldn't bother. The film would indeed see a boost in interest if she were to score a nomination.

I can absolutely understand why Dowd would do this. It would mean more roles being available to her. If she actually has a chance at a nomination then I don't blame her for taking it. I sure hope it will pay off for her.

It's just a shame that if Ann Dowd's self-financed campaign were to actually get her nominated, there's no way she would prove to be as batshit insane as Melissa Leo was during awards season 2 years ago.

If only

This is still as open as ever. I wonder, does Judi Dench have a shot here for Skyfall? Right now she's probably my #6 or #7....
