Jennifer Lawrence took home the Best Actress award at the Academy Awards on Feb. 24 and now pundits are wondering who may be the next Best Actress.gm
The Best Actress race has always been one of the most contentious categories in Oscar history as there are usually two front runners in the race. In 2012 Meryl Streep and Viola Davis split the critics and awards organizations and in 2010 Meryl Streep battled with Sandra Bullock. Other examples include the 2009 contest between Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet and the 2008 race featuring Marion Cotillard and Julie Christie. The ultimate winner was always the actress portraying a real life person or the winner of the BAFTA award. This year, three actresses have split pundits, critics' circles, and awards ceremonies.
On Jan. 31, a group of 9/11 Parents and Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims issued a statement condemning politicians, actors and critics who complained about the controversial film "Zero Dark Thirty."

This year, however, only 14 out of 20 SAG nominees matched the corresponding Oscar categories. Still the actors who are currently frontrunners for their respective categories were nominated and should continue to get a huge boost from a SAG win.
"Zero Dark Thirty" continues to be part of a controversy as actor David Clennon called for a boycott and stated that he would not vote at the Oscars for the Kathryn Bigelow Oscar nominated film.
On Jan. 18 Universal will release the horror film "Mama." The film stars Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain and the Executive producer is Guillermo Del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth").
