Will ?The Impossible? Make Oscar Possible For Naomi Watts?

Here?s a shout-out for Naomi Watts, and I am afraid she'll need it.  She's the sole Oscar nominee from director J.A. Bayona?s  The Impossible, and that means she has a real uphill climb for a win.  Watts is up against four other nominees in the Best Actress category ? Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Emmanuelle Riva (Amour) and 9-year old Quvenzhane Wallis (Beasts Of The Southern Wild) ? whose movies have the additional momentum of a Best Picture nomination. It's a huge disadvantage now that the Academy at large is voting, not just the actors branch.

Although a big hit in Bayona?s native Spain, The Impossible  ? which tells the story of a family fighting to survive the catastrophic Thailand tsunami of 2004 ? underperformed in its U.S.  run. The movie's mid-December opening, which took place the same week that Academy balloting began, didn't help its Oscar chances either.  That Watts made the Best Actress short list at all is a testament to her gritty, visceral performance, which she has described as the most physically challenging movie of her career.

And she'd have a real shot at a statuette if Academy members actually took the time to watch the movie. (Voting begins Feb. 8 and ends Feb. 19.)

The one advantage Watts does have over her fellow nominees is that she is playing a real life person: Maria Belon, a Spanish wife and mother who lived to tell the tale and has enthusiastically endorsed Watts' performance at various events this season.  Chastain's character, Maya, is also said to be based on an actual CIA operative, but the actress claims to have never met
