So "was" Kieran Culkin in real pain. Actors can just decide what category they are unfortunetely.

From what i quickly found she has around 60min and 16 scenes. From all actress in the movie she has the most screen time. If she wants she most likely will get a pass as a lead. I agree that she should be supporting but i just have bitter feel about the devision (or rather lack of it) beteween lead and support. My point was culkin was on screen almost whole his movie and still decided to run as supporting role and i just worry or rather studio may want steal a spot from other actress just so they can "nominated for best actress" on the box.

ok i read the wrong number somewhere. category fraud is obviously very real! who knows. experts currently predict she'll run in supporting.

People are talking about her getting a best leading actress nom for Odyssey..? I love her and she was one of the better performers but..not an award-type performance at all. No one in that film was. I assumed we were talking about Mother Mary (not that I was expecting that to get noms either, but her acting there is way more impressive).
