Folding in the Reader Polls

The Huffington Post has a Best Actress slide poll where the contenders are ranked 1 through 5. Meryl Streep comes out ahead, as the number one choice. She is followed by Gabby Sidibe in second place, Sandra Bullock in third place, Carey Mulligan in fourth place and Helen Mirren in fifth place.

Their rank for Best Picture so far–

1. The Hurt Locker
2. Up
3. Up in the Air
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Precious
6. Avatar
7. District 9
8. A Serious Man
9. An Education
10. The Blind Side

As we all know, the Huffington Post has more readers than the Drudge Report by now. It’s quite something that The Hurt Locker is number one, and not Avatar, as one might think. Even more interesting, is that Up is in the second place position.
