I wish Williams would get a nom, but, no matter when it gets released, I don't think it would happen.<BR/><BR/>Also, I saw some posters for CHE. Maybe those were international posters?

The trailer looks beautiful, as you said, and Winslet looks strong (better than she did in the RR trailer, imo), but there doesn't seem to be anyway any of the three performers (Feinnes, Winslet, and the one who's name we don't know) can be considered supporting.

He is a lovely man...smart, creative and generous as hell. <BR/><BR/>But, he takes his time. Or should I say, he does things in his own time. <BR/><BR/>I was with him when Billy Elliot opened in London, and we were all encouraging him to open in New York. He was skeptical as to how it would play in America.<BR/><BR/>I have over a year ago lost contact with Stephen, but my feeling is that he was very consumed with Billy, and I do worry if he is able to pour over The Reader in the way he likes. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand...it may be exactly what he needs....to be up against a deadline, and have to get on with it. It could bring about brilliance!<BR/><BR/>On a side note...it is also interesting to have Stephen and Sam Mendes going up against each other...not because of Winslet...but because they are rivals in London.

Hard to resist Fiennes and Winslet in the same film. I think EW has Fiennes listed as a possible Best Actor nominee.Is his part big enough?<BR/><BR/>If Streep starts getting awards for Doubt, will Winslet then finally win an Oscar for The Reader? I'm still curious if Revolutionary Road will live up to its potential. If anything, I hope the movie is good so that audiences will want to read the book by Richard Yates.<BR/><BR/>Last Chance Harvey looks like the perfect holiday movie. I hope it's a hit for Hoffman and Thompson.<BR/><BR/>Nothing But the Truth is more like an HBO movie and I think it will get mixed reviews. It's not an easy film to market. But it was good to see Beckinsale in a meaty role. I saw the film in Toronto and I think it will do better on DVD than in the theaters.gabrieloakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460263240309976652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-53029677156192847992008-11-01T12:48:00.000-04:002008-11-01T12:48:00.000-04:00i think this leaves only Che and The Wrestler with...i think this leaves only Che and The Wrestler without a trailer and poster, right?<BR/><BR/>oh and Nothing but the Truth but that one's been so quiet it's still hard to believe that it's actually coming out.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.com
