She's by far my favorite actress and if you really are related to her, I ahve no problem telling you that I'm jealous. <BR/>I've been following Ro's career for several years now and fully believe that her role in Rachel deserves to win. She was brilliant! I saw the other nominated films and as far as acting skills go, she walked all over her competition. <BR/>Not that it count's for anything, but she got my vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36536497711062365122009-01-07T21:16:00.000-05:002009-01-07T21:16:00.000-05:00I agree, she deserves lead actress for sure!

The whole cast was at a Q&A in LA when I saw the movie and they all got along pretty darn well. <BR/><BR/>And Marisa Tomei was at the Los Angeles premiere.<BR/><BR/>But back to Rosemarie DeWitt. She gives my favorite supporting actress performance of th year.

They were the hardest to do. It was all about a father and a daughter. He was more concerned with being on the road and wearing his tights than he was with bringing up his daughter."<BR/><BR/>Tomei held up production and pulled a bit of a "star" fit. She wasn't at Venice because, before the Oscar buzz, she wasn't going to promote the film. Now, Mickey and Aronofsky are sorry that she is getting the attention over Wood...whom poured her heart out for them.<BR/><BR/>But, it's all in the final cut, and Aronofsky made the final cut to Wood's role.

People with reputations have the benefit of "assumed greatness" so even their lesser performances start with a 'they're awesome!' gut-level response.<BR/>5) groupthink -are other people rooting for this person? (people don't like to go it alone taste-wise. this is where the precursors come in and the more there are of them the more groupthinky they seem to have become as we've seen this past decade)<BR/>6) perceived quality of performance<BR/><BR/>so Rosemarie obviously scores superbly in only one of these areas (perceived quality) since most people you talk to, even the ones who don't like the movie, will agree that the acting is excellent in RACHEL GETTING MARRIED.<BR/>sadly, thinking something is excellent/quality is a different emotional/intellectual thing than the urge to vote for it.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-84464141417096185462009-01-05T18:06:00.000-05:002009-01-05T18:06:00.000-05:00I already commented on this in the "I don't want t...I already commented on this in the "I don't want to be coy" blog/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-76847624671130997692009-01-05T17:30:00.000-05:002009-01-05T17:30:00.000-05:00Nathaniel,Doesn't this go deeper than "pe...Nathaniel,<BR/><BR/>Doesn't this go deeper than "perky and adorable?" I have to agree with your on spot discussion that adorable can get you everywhere when chasing an Oscar nomination, however...... seems that Rosemarie can't get the proper recognition for some other reason. <BR/><BR/>Her perfomance is clearly Oscar calibre in more ways than one, I have an untrained eye and yet have been bowled over by this upcoming relatively new actress. When a performance such as her's in Rachel Getting Married is overlooked with purpose, then the snub becomes the mountain to all.<BR/><BR/>The the *&$#!^$%@! did she ever do. She is smoking hot, yes has had a failed TV Series, but all one can say about that is the words "Fox Network" and most understand the crap that goes on with them. <BR/><BR/>So, what is it? Is she not screen testing with someone assocatied with the Oscars? (She has a great boyfriend-I could see why she wouldn't). In quiring minds want to know why not Rosemarie for best supporting actress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32939887259588012462009-01-05T17:25:00.000-05:002009-01-05T17:25:00.000-05:00could supp actress look like thisdewittwinsletcruz...could supp actress look like this<BR/><BR/>dewitt<BR/>winslet<BR/>cruz<BR/>tomei<BR/>davisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39368216457246686602009-01-05T14:14:00.000-05:002009-01-05T14:14:00.000-05:00Nathaniel, doesn't that go straight to the heart o...Nathaniel, doesn't that go straight to the heart of the lukewarm precursor support for Rachel Getting Married? It is very much a portrait of fully realized characters, something that doesn't lead itself to tidy conclusions. I think that's why they don't know what to do with DeWitt's turn (though, I still think she'll ultimately be nominated).<BR/><BR/>Oscar favors one-sided caricatures in the supporting categories more so than anywhere else. For every Karen Crowder, there's a dozen Ruby Thewes, Effie Whites and Oda Mae Browns winning these awards.
