The thing is when you have a category where so many of the nominees are so damn good, you then have to start getting even stricter with the judging, noticing little things and using them as cons. With Blanchett I think the nit they picked was the fact that she had already won the same award for also playing a very famous person in entertainment history. (Katharine Hepburn, The Aviator) I agree with your reasoning here. The category truly was crowded with terrific performances. I was thrilled to see Tilda Swinton win. I think we have to remember that when it comes to the categories, the only one the entire Academy votes for is Best Picture. The acting categories are voted for by actors. So if you have a beef with the win or loss in a particular category (except Best Picture,) stop blaming/crediting "Hollywood" at large or the Academy itself.
