One Critic's Argument, Anne Hathaway, Worst of the Supporting Actresses In a video essay on who should really win, Fandor's insightful Kevin B. Lee breaks down the Oscar hopefuls -- and we do mean breaks down. Though Anne Hathaway is the favorite to win, for "Les Miz," he contends that she gives the worst performance of all the best supporting actress nominees. It's a sad puppy act pitched at shrieking full volume, while ripping off Sinead O'Connor and Falconetti's 'Joan of Arc.' This performance doesn't just beg for an Oscar, it grovels for it. While he thinks Ms. Hathaway is a great actress, in that category, Mr. Lee prefers Helen Hunt, as the sex therapist in "The Sessions." Other subjective winners in his view include the stars of "The Master" and "Silver Linings Playbook." That doesn't quite line up with what our critics would have voted for. But then, the argument's the fun part.
