Welcome to The Best Actress Project

 I've been a movie lover and Academy Awards-afficionado my whole life. I particularly love the terrific performances that are nominated and win in the Best Actress and Supporting Actress categories at the Oscars, as well as the other award shows (SAG, Golden Globes, etc), however the Oscar performances will be the main focus here. This blog will primarily focus on my musings and comments and thoughts as I record reviews of the Best Actress nominated and winning performances I watch, out of my large DVD collection as well as new movies I stumble across.

I enjoy reading other blogs of a similar nature and thought it was time I added my own opinions to the internet.

Here's a few fun facts about some of my Oscar opinions (this is just a few, and not an exhaustive list):
