Yes, I understand she has been out of scene for a while, but because of her strong acting ability, I think she could win one. She should have beat Anna Paquin in 1993, but oh well. Anyway, she is a great actress, and I would love to see her win an Oscar. I just hope that Academy members will not turn against her for the shoplifting incident. She made a mistake seven years ago! It's over! It's good that she is going to be in some upcoming films. I'm writing to the Academy, to ask them if they could give Ms. Ryder so notice. And please, if anyone is a fan of her's please write to the Academy saying that she should get some recognition!! If we stay strong, it could be a major possiblity!
