Anne Hathaway won't compete with herself this awards season. As first reported by In Contention, a HitFix blog that covers the Academy Awards, Warner Bros. has decided to run Hathaway in the Best Actress category for her role in "The Dark Knight Rises." The move leaves Hathaway's buzzed-about turn in "Les Miserables" as her sole chance for Best Supporting Actress.
The decision is surprising, if only because many considered Hathaway's performance as Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises" the film's best chance at a supporting acting nomination.
"If there is going to be one, it will most likely be [Hathaway]," wrote prominent Oscar blogger Sasha Stone in response to a HuffPost Entertainment piece speculating on "Dark Knight Rises" acting nomination possibilities. "True, everyone thinks 'Les Miz' will be her big Oscar grab, and it probably will be but -- that doesn’t take away the fact that she’s still the film’s best shot at an acting nod."
As lead actress in "Dark Knight Rises," Hathaway is now competing against the likes of Helen Mirren (for "Hitchcock"), Marion Cotillard (for "Rust and Bone"), Jennifer Lawrence (for "Silver Linings Playbook"), Emmanuelle Riva (for "Amour"), Keira Knightley (for "Anna Karenina") and Quvenzhané Wallis (for "Beasts of the Southern Wild"), among others.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people tell me she was well written or that her acting was amazing
it's like "Did I just not notice? Am I just too harsh?"
It was bad pantomime villain levels of acting to me
she was still like anne hathaway pretending to be catwoman, i didn't see like CATWOMAN like michelle pfeiffer
I've never cared for her as an actress and thought she was super obnoxious when hosting the Oscars.
just saw that you were joking. oop @ me

I like Marion Cotillard, but she was chewing scenery like crazy throughout the film. There was legitimate laughter throughout the theater during her final scene.

She was my favorite part of the movie.
She was miscast. And boring as hell. Nowhere fierce enough to play a character like Catwoman.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
MARION COTILLARD

I guess WB just submits everyone's name for stuff so no one feels left out/like the studio's telling them they didn't do good.
Sometimes I don't get Nolan (and his various fascinations) at all.
