Questions are whirling around Andrea Riseborough's Oscar assignment

Andrea Riseborough may not be a name that rings many chimes for the typical moviegoer.

However, chances are, your #1 entertainer in that one film you love knows her identity precisely. Furthermore, they maintain that she should win an Oscar.

It's, to be honest, an odd story - one that started in October with the restricted arrival of a modest free film called "To Leslie," about what happens when a single parent scores that sweepstakes and reaches a financial dead end. Riseborough plays the nominal Leslie in an exhibition generally lauded by pundits as the best work of her vocation.

Furthermore, simply last week, Riseborough was selected for a best entertainer Foundation Grant, her most memorable Oscar designation.
