Meryl Streep tipped to beat Michelle Williams to Best Actress at the 84th Academy Awards
Michelle well looked like Marilyn in her latest film. The critics thought so too.
A nice old man and Jennifer Lawrence have just announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars 2012.
Meryl Streep has landed a nomination for Best Actress for her
performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and is up against
Michelle Williams for her role in My Week With Marilyn.
Williams has been nominated for a second year in a row – her
performance in Blue Valentine lost out to Natalie Portman’s in Black
Swan last year – and it’s thought she could have more luck this year.
Saying that, Streep has been up a record 16 times and the critics (i.e.
people who go to the cinema and, like, really enjoy it) reckon she will
take it. Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (Pic: Alex Bailey)Britons Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh and Janet McTeer are also in the

performance as Sir Laurence Olivier in Marilyn Monroe biopic My Week
With Marilyn. He said today: "It was a rare honour to play Sir Laurence
Olivier. To be recognised by the Academy for doing so is overwhelming.
I'm absolutely thrilled."

best film, best actor for French star Jean Dujardin and supporting
actress for Berenice Bejo. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: Gary OldmanBut Martin Scorsese's family film Hugo leads with 11 nominations.

Academy Awards and tell you who we think will win, but those nifty
bookie types at William Hill have got more of an idea than we do. See
below for all of the Oscar nominations - in the order of who is already
tipped to win.
This is the sickening scar left by Hollywood star Armie Hammer on his young lover after he branded her just millimeters away from her private parts. Using a sharp knife Hammer cut his first initial 'A' into her skin during a kinky sex game, which ex-lover Paige Lorenze insists got out of control. Seconds later the 6ft 5' inch screen idol - who has claimed he's '100% a cannibal' in vile Instagram messages to other women - then licked the blood from the wound. Lorenze shared the exclusive image with DailyMailTV as a stark warning to other women who might be seduced and manipulated by Hammer. The 22-year-old former professional skier turned Instagram model is speaking out about the ‘deeply traumatic’ four month relationship, which left her emotionally and physically scarred. And Lorenze exposes Hammer as an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose wild fantasies and BDSM fueled desires which she says could ‘seriously injure another woman.’ The blond beauty...
