I mean Iris had three Oscar nominated actors, and Notes on a Scaldal had two (I found Notes tremendous fun in the cinema). And Stage Beauty is a really great little film, filled with excellent performances. Yet he seems consistently overlooked (though not on the stage obviously)poz pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728098041920497231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89089489957747963552009-09-11T16:01:12.900-04:002009-09-11T16:01:12.900-04:00anon -- patience is a virtueanon -- patience is a virtueNATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-43678321802958341392009-09-11T14:11:14.167-04:002009-09-11T14:11:14.167-04:00Nat, why aren't you doing something for LAUREN...Nat, why aren't you doing something for LAUREN BACALL'S Honorary Oscar??????

I thought she was really powerful in <i>Winged Creatures</i>. And apparently she studied Russian at Oxford?
