It doesn't really happen often that A 25 year old like Hudson steals a whole movie. The young lady is both exceptional both in the singing and in the acting. While Kikuchi is offering a very good performance in an irritating bath in Hollywood conventional way to speak about important issues.

Even though it doesn't happen this way, the award should be based on the specific role. The fact that Dench has played a similar part in theater should be irrelevant. Just like the fact that Peter O'Toole is old and never given an award should be irrelevant.
Helen Mirren was outstanding, but I think it is actually stronger acting to create a character than to mimic one. Either way, I will be happy, but I'm rooting for Dench.
I thought Kikuchi was riveting. But will not cry if Hudson wins.
