Best Supporting Actress

Octavia Spencer. "The Help." It's a lock. Spencer's co-star and fellow nominee Jessica Chastain will smile graciously from "The Help" seats knowing that Spencer has paid her dues, and her win is a triumph for the film as a whole. Berenice Bejo is riding on "The Artist" updraft, but won't win. Melissa McCarthy? Honor just to be nominated — and taken seriously for a comic role. Janet McTeer? Honor, and a series of borrowed long dresses; she's a great, generous actress who needs a better film to display her talents.
