Best Performance of the Year

I'm almost 100% sure that the best performance of the year will not only not be recognized this year but won't even be nominated. Melissa Leo had my attention the minute she appeared on screen in Frozen River. She drives the whole story and you believe her troubles. Sadly she was not nominated for a Golden Globe and the Oscars seem unlikely to do so either. But in my opinion the best performance of the year by man or woman was by Melissa Leo.
