Jacki Weaver Film: Silver Linings Playbook Why She Will Win 1  The film has a lot of love, and four Acting nominations is surely a sign that at least one or two will deliver. 2 Weaver was previously nominated for her magnificent turn in Animal Kingdom, and having lost out to Melissa Leo for The Fighter, is perhaps due some compensation. 3 Weaver provides the steadiest and emotionally-centred role in the film, which allows everyone else to go a little off the rails.    Why She Won't Win 1  Does it feel a little like Weaver’s there just to round out the Silver Linings gang? Her part is not the most memorable of the film. 2 For the most part in awards season, Weaver hasn’t even had an individual nomination, just a nod as part of the Silver Linings gang. 3 If she didn’t win for her barnstorming turn in Animal Kingdom, what chance does she have in this quieter turn?

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
