2012 Best Actress Oscar Contenders

Is it Davis vs. Williams vs. Streep?

Mia Wasikowska, "Jane Eyre"

Pro: Wasikowska has some passionate fans for her portrayal of Jane Eyre in Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of the classic Charlotte Bronte novel.  She could easily land a Golden Globe nomination in the best actress in a drama category which could fuel a potential Oscar bid.

Con: The film's late winter release may make it too "out of sight, out of mind" for Academy voters and when it comes down to it, who would she displace to make the final five?
