I thought L.A. went for obscure actresses in years where the favorites were generally the best of a weak lot. I happened to agree with them on last year's pick of Jeong-hie Yun, the South Korean Sophia Loren who came out retirement to play a part that was eons better than what Meryl Streep, Glenn Close and Viola Davis did combined.
Anyhow, on to this year:

Re: Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2012
There's a tweet out there from a guy who's a member who swears LA isn't going to just follow the queue on Zero Dark. Remember, last year, it seemed like The Artist and Hugo were going to finish 1-2 everywhere, and LA surprised with The Descendants/The Tree of Life.

Re: Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2012
I have Emmanuelle Riva down right now. I'm sure she's great, though I'm not on pins and needles for a "more depressing than usual" Michael Haneke film. That being said, I'm quietly hoping that Jennifer Lawrence picks up something for her work in Silver Linings Playbook which I am now convinced has had a failed marketing campaign. They rolled it out like a niche film and not the boisterous movie that it is. And now that Zero Dark Thirty has been seen and heralded as a masterpiece, its contender status is looking weaker and weaker.

Re: Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2012
I don't think L.A. will be looking too far past the front-runners this year as the critics, not just the bloggers, were strongly in favor of a Jennifer Lawrence or, one assumes latterly, Jessica Chastain. If they go foreign it will most likely be Emmanuelle Riva.

Or maybe Emayatzy Corinealdi for Middle of Nowhere.

Look no further then Nadezhda Markina in Elena. Excellent reviews, her performance dominates the film and it did enough business to not be off the LA film critics radar. She delivers in spades and stands shoulder to shoulder with Emmanuelle Riva, Yoon Jeong-he, Kim Hye-ja, and Yolande Moreau.

...I'm trying to think of a 2012 equivalent of Yoon Jeong-he, Kim Hye-ja, and Yolande Moreau (whom, I doubt I could have ever predicted) and the closest I can find are these two.

They are his predictions. The awards aren't until Sunday.
Re: Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2012
Are these your predictions or what was actually awarded?
