Strong roles for women are often in short supply, and this year's race for best actress is no exception. While men in the running for <a href="http://theenvelope.latimes.com/galleries/photo/env-best-actor-2007-pg,0,7835745.photogallery?coll=env-home-headlines"><i>best actor awards</i> </a>could fill out three football teams, with an alternate or two to spare, the women in contention for best leading lady barely make up two loaves of bread. That's not to say the best actress race isn't filled with major league players and a few rookies of the year. But when it comes to great performances by women the list is woefully short. Take a spin through the best actress candidates and pick your most valuable player.
