SAG Noms: Female Actor In a Leading Role

5. Naomi Watts, “The Impossible”

As the wounded mother struggling for survival with her teenage son, Watts ditches vanity for emotional nakedness and turns in a performance so affecting that hordes of audiences have been sobbing for months now. Fighting for life could have been melodramatic, but Watts grounds her turn in emotional truth and is all the more moving for it.
