Back to Academy Awards 2012: One Star, Two (or More) Oscar-Worthy Performances
Jessica Chastain in 'Take Shelter'
Sony Classics
Odds for a nomination: Dim. Probably the least seen of Chastain's major roles this year. She does fine, subtle work as a wife trying to cope with her husband's apocalyptic visions, but if the film gets any Oscar attention, it'll probably be for its doom-tormented hubby, Michael Shannon.
