Amy AdamsFilm: The Master Why She Will Win | 1 | Adams takes what could have been a generic “wife” role and turns it into something much more complex, maybe more complex than the leading men actually. | | 2 | This is her fourth nomination, which surely means she’s due a win. | | 3 | Adams deserves huge props for appearing in The Muppets and The Master in the same 12 months. | Why She Won't Win | 1 | The Master doesn’t have a lot of momentum, and that could hurt her chances. | | 2 | Aside from a few critics’ groups, she’s generally lost out to Hathaway. Will Oscar buck that trend? Probably not. | | 3 | Will The Muppets stop the voters from taking her seriously? |

| 1 | Sally Field | Wasn't Sally Field's awkward speech given after her second win? In fact wasn't that sort of the point of it... "this time I feel you like me" etc etc? More
