"Gone Baby Gone" - AMY RYAN
Amy Ryan's performance in "Gone Baby Gone" is just what it wants itself to be: annoying, self-righteous and arrogant. But that's what brings out the beauty of a new comer now turned gold. Even though Ryan's part wasn't so big, her performance as suffering mother Helene McCready blew off the roof and surpassed most of her co-stars. Portraying selfish and prima donna notions in lower-class Boston, Ryan's Helene is a complex character who only used her daughter's disappearance as a publicity stunt. At the end, when her daughter is retrieved, she goes back to her previous life of drugs and sex, without a care. Ryan gives us a woman to hate, despise and without a doubt the best female supporting performance of the year.
