Helena Bonham Carter: 2011 Best Supporting Actress Oscar Winner?
Yes. I Think So!  There are many reasons why Helena Bonham
Carter, nominated for the 2011 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for
her role in "The King's Speech," just may win the award. If she
wins, I will tell you the real reason why she accomplished the
feat. For now, I'll explain why I think she will - based on
statistics that simply can't be ignored.  First, Helena Bonham-
Carter (presently the girlfriend and mother to two children to
uber director Tim Burton) is a great actress. From her first
starring role, opposite an unrecognizable Daniel Day Lewis, in
the 1985 Merchant/Ivory film "A Room With A View," Bonham-Carter
has captivated movie critics and audiences around the world with
her versatile acting. Funny thing, neither Helena Bonham-Carter,
nor Daniel Day Lewis were nominated for any of the 8 Oscars that
"A Room With A View" was up for. The only acting Oscar nominees
for that movie belonged to Maggie Smith and Denholm Elliott.
