Just to say that I'm really happy that Felicity Jones toke the Breakthrough Actor prize home for her marvelous and really charming performance in Like Crazy, not because I don't like Elizabeth Olsen, but because Jones was one of my choices in my first Best Leading Actress Oscar predictions and I love when my first feeling is (almost) right - with this win and a couple of others Breakthrough Performance prizes she's has been winning, Jones is definitely in the Best Leading Actress race and may get the "A Star Is Born" seat instead of Olsen or Rooney Mara.
