Oscar Theory #10: The Academy Loves A Crazy Female Character

Oscar Theory #10: The Academy Loves A Crazy Female Character

I'm not sure exactly how time is passing so quickly, but we are now only nine days away from the Oscars. To be clear—that's one week and two days. As the big day creeps closer and closer, people seem to be feeling more confident that Natalie Portman will win Best Actress for her ballerina-gone-loco turn in "Black Swan." Why? Well, because she won both the Golden Globe and the SAG awards for the role. Also, she's pregnant and that often bodes well for Oscar contenders. Plus, as Newsweek so delicately put it in headline a few weeks ago: "Want to Win an Oscar? Play a Crazy Chick."

Last week, we looked at a theory—that the Academy favors actors who take on real life roles—that could predict who will win for Best Actor this year. Today, let's look at the off-their-rocker roles that have garnered Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress wins.
