Nobody ever knows for sure until the winner's name is announced at the Academy Awards ceremony. But many observers wouldn't be surprised to see a win by 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld for her performance as Mattie Ross in "True Grit." For one thing, the Academy has a history of rewarding young newcomers who have made an indelible impression (Tatum O'Neal, Anna Paquin and Jennifer Hudson are previous winners in the category). For another, Steinfeld's role in "True Grit" is a major one that probably should have been nominated in the Best Actress category, which improves her chances of winning as a Supporting Actress contender.
A lion's share of previous awards have gone to Melissa Leo ("The Fighter"), whose stock appears to have fallen because of her much-criticized series of print ads promoting her Oscar candidacy. Another Best Supporting Actress nominee is Leo's co-star in "The Fighter," Amy Adams, who has earned three Best Supporting actress nominations in six years. They could negate each other's chances.
We'll find out for sure on Sunday, February 27, 2011, when the awards recipients are revealed.
