The star persona she imports is "a certain amount of fragility underneath her toughness", which is the opposite of what the role of Christine Collins needed.

'he's not my son' but i find the performance dull even in the scenes where she's doing better work. Maybe it's the lack of any character arc beyond "gets angrier"NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-27519130777035341872008-12-23T20:56:00.000-05:002008-12-23T20:56:00.000-05:00steve. i love your train of thought there.i have n...steve. i love your train of thought there.<BR/><BR/>i have nothing <I>against</I> Frost/Nixon really but i just think it will be such a waste of a slot when there are so many more imaginative and more interesting and more likely to last that the Academy could stamp, you know.<BR/><BR/>ah well.

Kind of hard to top that.<BR/><BR/>What being missed here is glenn's point, too, that "big name" A-list celebs have been hogging all the acting catagories. "Supporting" used to be the place for those less-well known actors to be rewarded. For that, I think the A-listers (including Kate, alas) do deserve a dinging, in that they could refuse to allow the studios to continue to perpetuate catagory fraud, or at least speak out against it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this WAS funny, and thank you Glenn!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-44332104610834440242008-12-23T05:23:00.000-05:002008-12-23T05:23:00.000-05:00Very Funny.
