The movie's best parts are the romantic scenes between turner and nicholson and the of course the performances of hickey (great in christmas vacation and My blue Heaven too) and of course Angelica Huston. Her win is certainly justified (though i prefer her performance in The Grifters) but Winfrey and Avery were equally deserving and probably split their votes.V.

They won't give it to her this ...Anne Hathaway? They won't give it to her this soon. Probably nom 4 or 5 for that honour. (They pretty much save first time wins for people they know won't be dependable or oriented toward film. e.g. Shirley Booth, Patricia Neal, Louise Fletcher, Marlee Matlin in Actress alone. Popular Legends have to wait, but they'll get one: Sarandon, Winslet, Liz Taylor, Faye Dunaway. Dependable Actors only Legendary to Film Buffs: They get noms but not wins (Rowlands, Julianne Moore, Ritter). Only one case defies imagination on first thought (Deborah Kerr), until you realise she excelled in blending in and, thusly, in productions where she could blend in absolutely perfectly like no actor ever had before or could again! (The Innocents, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus). Unfortunately, the Academy loves 2 things, Star Personas (an expert blender has none) and Breaking Star Personas (Her best work involves burrowing into someone else. When she is expected to bring her own spark to the character beyond what's in the script, as in From Here to Eternity, I understand it as a failure of a performance.)Volvagianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-2955879198823141782010-06-22T09:36:39.779-04:002010-06-22T09:36:39.779-04:00Nathaniel, I can't wait to see "LAOD&...Nathaniel, I can't wait to see "LAOD". It is one of my most anticipated movies of the year. The great Oscar buzz & the wonderful advance reviews on twitter and imdb are incredible . Hollywood insiders are already predicting that Anne Hathaway will get her second Oscar nomination for her performance, I'm curious if the studio will push her in the Best Actress category or Supporting Actress category. Mark my words, if she gets the Best Actress nomination she will be Annette Bening's biggest threat- not Hilary Swank.spnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-63311045109196371212010-06-22T08:43:54.131-04:002010-06-22T08:43:54.131-04:00is meryl 12th least deserved nom at the expense of...is meryl 12th least deserved nom at the expense of weaver,witherspoon and winslet coming up nat.MRRIPLEYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-56550462026354748132010-06-22T03:20:44.821-04:002010-06-22T03:20:44.821-04:00What a good start of the day, thanks! :) I'm s...What a good start of the day, thanks! :) I'm shamefully unfamiliar with those "old" movies, probably because I'm just as old as they are and my love for the cinema started quite late.
