Please VOTE for MELISSA LEO (Frozen River).
She is a brilliant actor!
We worked together on an NBC Movie of the Week,
In the Line of Duty: Hunt for Justice, and she is absolutely fantastic!
Nobody knows her name and the stars are getting all the votes...
I'd like to help give Melissa a little bit of a boost. THANK YOU! ~Dell Yount

I voted. I haven't seen Frozen River yet but she was great on Homicide.

 

[Harvey]

She was great in Frozen River, and I was equally impressed with her work I saw in the first three seasons of Homicide during the holidays this year.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I know her from her Law & Order appearances. She was, indeed, great.

Really liked her on Homicide Life on the Street. I think she's a fine actress, but perhaps a little to 'dull' or 'private' and not a b ig enough star for the Academy to win. Glad she was nominated though. I've seen a few shows where I've not expected her to pop up and steal the scene.

I also thought she was fantastic in Frozen River. I was hoping she'd win the Best Actress Oscar, but knew (like Mickey Rourke, Richard Jenkins, and Marisa Tomei) that she wasn't in the type of movie that usually wins. Great that she got nominated though - she's very naturalistic - it doesn't even seem like she's acting.
