Who's been nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars this year?

The 2011 Academy Awards are on TV this weekend. Who is up for the Oscar for Best Actress? How many nominees are there this year? Are there any films in which the lead actress and actor were both nominated?

Here are the nominees for "Best Actress":

Annette Bening plays Nic, a successful doctor who has raised two children with her female partner and must confront the problems that arise when they seek out their biological father.
"The Kids Are All Right":

Nicole Kidman plays Becca, a woman who is drifting apart from her husband following the death of their child.
"Rabbit Hole":

Jennifer Lawrence portrays a 17-year-old girl named Ree who lives in the rural Ozarks. She searches for her missing father after he places the family's home in jeopardy.
"Winter's Bone":

As Nina Sayers, Natalie Portman plays a young ballerina whose precarious mental state begins to disintegrate when she is cast in the role of the Swan Queen.
"Black Swan":

As Cindy, Michelle Williams plays a young wife and mother whose marriage to a man she once loved deeply is now failing.
"Blue Valentine":

There is not one film in which both the leading actor and leading actress were both nominated. There are however two "Supporting Actors" nominated from same movie as lead actress. Mark Ruffalo for "The Kids Are All Right" and John Hawkes for "Winter's Bone."

My prediction: Natalie Portman will win hands down for her deranged role in "Black Swan." She's won every award so far and no one else can touch her performance. It would be a major upset if she did not win the Oscar.

Some great actresses got the nod this year. But at the 2011 Oscars only one can win. This video from Mahalo has the best actress winner and all the others too.
