Now that Toronto is winding down, and I’ve considered the best actor race, let’s shift to The Women, a competition between older and younger, period and contemporary, dominant and submissive:
1. Viola Davis, The Help
2. Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
3. Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk about Kevin
4. Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs
5. Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia
And the rest:
6. Keira Knightley, A Dangerous Method
7. Jodie Foster, Carnage
8. Michelle Williams, My Week with Marilyn
9. Rooney Mara, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
10. Mia Wasikowska, Jane Eyre
11. Charlize Theron, Young Adult
12. Elizabeth Olsen, Martha Marcy May Marlene
