Sigourney Weaver, Laura Linneythe list goes on and on.
That said, Bening is overdo for a win.
I didn't like Running with Scissors when it was first release, but realize after recently seeing it again it was my fault, for simply didn't get it at the time.
In retrospect, it's sad that it seems that the Academy member felt the same way, for forget about a nod, Bening should have taken home the award for that performance. -

Yes - I think she'll get an Oscar. However, I have a feeling it will be one of those cases in which it wasn't nearly one of the actor's best role, but they were due for one.
imho - American Beauty was her best role. Unfortunately it was in a year in which another actress gave a performance which was one of the most memorable performances of all time (Hillary Swank - Boys Don't Cry). -

I really hope she wins one at some point. I normally don't focus on "acting," good or bad. But for some reason whenever I see a movie with Bening in it, it always occurs to me "Now this is some damn great acting." Even in Mars Attacks! Seriously, I remember thinking "This is just a little role in totally silly movie but she's killing it." She was amazing in The Grifters, she was amazing in American Beauty I need to track down more of her stuff. The only other time in recent memory where someone's acting was so good that I couldn't help but notice and be impressed was Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds .

Annette has The Seagull coming out in 2016. I think she has a good chance of being nominated for itthat is, if it's any good. And if she is nominated, and since she's long overdue, she has a good chance of winningunless she's up against another actress who's long overduelike Glenn Close or Laura Linney. Or she's up against Hilary Swank again.
