b'Octavia Spencer serves humor, pathos, strength--and yes, pie--as the indelible Minny in 2011\'s "The Help," and deservedly swept the awards that season. But we are Viola Davis fans in this house, and spend as much if not more time celebrating her nuanced, heartbreaking portrayal of Aibileen Clark. We also queen out on Melissa McCarthy\'s recognition for "Bridesmaids," groan about "Carnage," find reasons to see Meryl in "The Iron Lady," have a terrible case of the Bryce Dallas Chastains, find much best supporting actress energy via Target\'s Home & Hearth collection, and apologize in advance for our pronunciation of the name "Berenice Bejo."\\n\\nFollow us!\\nEmail: thebsapod@gmail.com\\nTwitter: @bsapod\\n\\nColin Drucker\\nTwitter: @colindrucker\\nInstagram: @colindrucker_\\n\\nNick Kochanov\\nTwitter: @nickkochanov\\nInstagram: @nickkochanov'
