	Only best actress nominees were a surprise in Oscars
		On the other hand, the best actress race is exactly where Oscar has recently tended to reward offbeat roles in small films, and neither Kidman's "Cold Mountain" nor Connelly's "House of Sand and Fog" was a popular or across-the-board critical hit (which matters to Oscar voters).

		Imagine a film where an actresses continually wanted to show the left side of her face to camera which was only one example of ways in which she was fixed in the manner of her work.
