Best of 2009, and this time we're talking leading ladies. Like the last award, this one will be named after a great thespian, too.

And this will be called the Katharine Hepburn Leading Actress Award! For those lovable leads. (Naturally "Katharine Hepburn" is standing in for the regular "Best.")
The nominees are...
Zooey Deschanel,
(500) Days of SummerFor simultaneously being the girl we loved, and wanted to kill ourselves over. Carey Mulligan,
An EducationFor irritating and charming us as a woman of the world and a confused school girl. Gabourey Sidibe,
PreciousFor giving a voice to someone so often forgotten.Meryl Streep,
Julie & JuliaFor being a delight on the big screen in a big way. Renee Zellweger,
My One and OnlyFor flirting not just with tons of men, but the audience. The winners will be in a separate post later on! Comments? Please, do share!
(And there aren't any pics. this time guys, sorry! It's kind of complicated to get them in the post, does nobody else have this problem? Hm...)
