And similar to the competition for the White House, this year's Oscar showdown has been full of separate votes as well as widely separated loyalties.

The women: Blanchett again ("I'm Not There"), Ruby Dee ("American Gangster"), Saoirse Ronan ("Atonement"), Amy Ryan ("Gone Baby Gone") as well as Tilda Swinton ("Michael Clayton").
