Amy Adams gets her first "Enchanted" rave

Remember when the GoldDigger launched this blog, with the crazy prediction that Amy Adams will get a best actress nomination for "Enchanted." Well, the first major review is up, and it's a rave. Here's what Peter Travers of Rolling Stone says:

"You might want to remember the name Amy Adams. It's star-is-born time for the Colorado Mormon, who won a supporting-actress Oscar nomination for 2005's Junebug, which few saw (dumb move). Enchanted has the makings of a supersize sugarcoated hit, and Adams is just the spicy princess you want to take home and PG-love. Not since Julie Andrews rode an umbrella to glory in Mary Poppins has Disney given us such a real-life doll.

"... Adams is the wish your heart makes when you want a storybook princess for the ages. She's wicked good."

She's going to need all the help she can get to sneak into the best actress category this year. The frontrunners are Keira Knightley for "Atonement," Julie Christie for "Away From Her" and Marion Cotillard for "La Vie En Rose." Ellen Page will likely also make the cut for "Juno." As will Laura Linney for "The Savages." Oops. That's five already. But maybe some fairy-tale magic will intervene and knock one of the other leading ladies out.
