The best actress this year is being neglected. There are already a couple of front runners which have left many other actress in the dust. People's eyes are on the prize for the Best Picture Oscar, and so they're not as concerned with the Best Actress category. This week on Oscar Scuttlebutt we run down the list of potential best actress nominees and why you should be paying attention to this...
Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina has always attracted filmmakers.

Keira Knightley reunites with director Joe Wright for another dramatic period piece. This time it's Leo Tolstoy's esteemed 19th century novel Anna Karenina, which features Knightley in the titular role.

One of the great modern working relationships is Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg.
