-Charlize Theron (Young Adult)
-Viola Davis (The Help)
-Carey Mulligan (Shame)

I have a feeling Tilda Swinton belongs on my list, but I still haven't seen We Need to Talk About Kevin yet. :(
 
Viola Davis - The Help

Bryce Dallas Howard - The Help

Jessica Chastain - The Help


(as you can tell I haven't seen the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yet.)
 
Charlize Theron (Young Adult)
Tilda Swinton (We Need To Talk About Kevin)
Viola Davis (The Help)
 
Rooney Mara as "Lisbeth Salander", The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Octavia Spencer as "Minny Jackson", The Help
Charlize Theron as "Mavis Gary", Young Adult
 
Charlize Theron - Young Adult
Kristen Wiig - Bridesmaids
Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn
 
Rooney Mara (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)

Carey Mulligan (Drive)

Only 2 I can think of.
 
Elizabeth Olsen (MMMM)
Michelle Williams (Meek's Cutoff)
Charlize Theron (Young Adult)
 
Kate Winslet - Contagion

Rooney Mara- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
 
Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life)
Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
Shailene Woodley (The Descendants)

Honorable mention:
Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre)
Kate Winslet (Contagion)

NOTE: I feel really disqualified for this section because I have yet to see Young Adult, The Artist, The Iron Lady, My Week with Marilyn or The Help. Thus, I feel like I've missed out on probably an entirely different list. Still last year felt stronger to me with Natalie Portman, Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicole Kidman and Noomi Rapace....then again I saw those performances. Oh well.
 
jessica chastain - everything lol
Michelle williams - my week with marilyn
Rooney mara - GWTDTT

Honorable mention:
Elizabeth olsen - martha marcy may marlene
 
Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

Jessica Chastain (Everything she did last year)
 
Elizabeth Olsen - Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene
Carey Mulligan - Drive
Evan Rachel Wood - Ides of March

Honourable mention: Brit Marling - Another Earth
 
I havent seen that many drama's this year but the one acting performance from an actress that stands out is Mara, so here is my 3

1) Rooney Mara: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
2) Amy Adams: The Fighter
3) Elle Fanning: Super 8.
 
Viola Davis - The Help
Kristen Wiig - Bridesmaids
Elle Fanning - Super 8
 
Viola Davis - The Help
Elizabeth Olsen - Martha Marcy May Marlene
Berenice Bejo - The Artist
 
Viola Davis - The Help
Kirsten Dunst - Melancholia
Melanie Laurent - Beginners

Honorable mentions:
Brit Marling - Another Earth
Carey Mulligan - Drive
Jodie Foster - The Beaver
Octavia Spencer - The Help
 
2) Amy Adams: The Fighter

That was last year, dude. She got an Oscar nom for it.

I feel like I'm at a bit of a loss here too because I haven't seen some of the top female performances this year, though I feel like I have seen a lot of movies. Anyway, here's who I'm going with for now:

Carrie Mulligan: Shame
Emily Browning: Sleeping Beauty
Ellen Page: Super
 
Elle Fanning (Super 8)
Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia)
Rooney Mara (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)
 
I haven't seen a lot of the films with the so-called great performances by women because they look like bad movies to me and I'm not willing to suffer through a bad movie just to see a performance so my list isn't great because it's all from bigger films.

-Jessica Chastain (Tree of Life)
-Elle Fanning (Super 8)

I'll think of the other one later and edit my post accordingly.
 
Rooney Mara for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

And that's it; I feel that her performance in that film clears everybody else out of the water.
 
Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Carey Mulligan as Irene in Drive
Mathilda Paradieser as Emma in Apflickorna
 
Carey Mulligan - Shame
Rooney Mara - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Leila Hatami - A Separation
