I've been wondering for a while now if Rabbit Hole's poor performance -- especially financially but also with the precursors -- might catch up with Nicole Kidman in the Best Actress race. I thought she was very good in the film, and I wouldn't at all want to see her omitted on Oscar nom morning. But it strikes me that there's barely any enthusiasm out there for the picture, and in a crowded Best Actress field, I do wonder if she isn't more vulnerable than many think.
Then again, she's been appearing very consistently throughout awards season, and staking a claim on a spot in any given category has helped performances far less than hers come Oscar time.
