Could they get away with calling everyone supporting? I mean of course they COULD, but would you be pissed? It seems like Annette and Julianne are the two real leads, but if it's more of an ensemble, I could see both of them competing in supporting.<br /><br />Honestly though - not that I have seen it - I kind of see the most likely result being a nod for Mark Ruffalo and no one else. Kind of like how Robert Forster was the only one nominated for <em>Jackie Brown</em>, despite its being a "black" film. It's the easiest and least threatening route, with the added bonus of Mark being overdue. That would be sweet to see, even if it didn't happen for Annette or Julianne.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-27006109548091238182010-01-31T10:33:15.264-05:002010-01-31T10:33:15.264-05:00The Last Five Year + Mike Leigh?

I have one question about: how many Joni Mitchell songs does Annette Bening sing in the film? I've yet read she performs "All I Want" in a duet with Mark Ruffalo (is it true?), and now I read she also sings "Blue" (always from the same album). Any other song? And how does Annette sing? I'm afraid I've never heard her singing, except for her hilarious performance in "Don't Rain on My Parade" from "American Beauty".<br />And for which role do you think she would have more Oscar chances this year? "Mother and Child" or "The Kids Are All Right"?Stefanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-80261295099325668692010-01-31T03:57:17.905-05:002010-01-31T03:57:17.905-05:00That's sad about The Romatics... any movie wit...That's sad about <i>The Romatics</i>... any movie with both Anna Paquin and Elijah Wood makes my list, but I don't really want to be disappointed.Andrew Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633362421284508483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-16604696372923148492010-01-31T03:52:36.994-05:002010-01-31T03:52:36.994-05:00Thanks for the awesome Sundance coverage, Nathanie...Thanks for the awesome Sundance coverage, Nathaniel. I'm looking forward to each of your Top 4 titles, esp. I Am Love.<br /><br />As for dancing with Parker Posey... I like to think I'm generally above such pedestrian, primal things like envy. But anything that involves Parker Posey and another man immediately stirs up envy in me. In other words, you are very right to obsess.

Josh seems to be miscast a lot or the actress opposite him is miscast as he has another movie as the love interest of Kristen Bell, like really I am suppose to believe that? Anyways wouldn't have watched this movie anyway.<br /><br />I have been reading good things about Blue Valentine, and I am happy for Michelle Williams, out of the cast of Dawson Creek, Her and Joshua Jackson were my favourties.<br /><br />I also read good reviews for Kids are Alright, I might check that out, as well as Buried.Monynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-17319241996852508782010-01-31T03:04:09.920-05:002010-01-31T03:04:09.920-05:00"Blue Valentine" sounds like this year&#..."Blue Valentine" sounds like this year's more serious cousin to "(500) Days of Summer."Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-54072123228645951962010-01-31T03:01:40.453-05:002010-01-31T03:01:40.453-05:00I'm kind of surprised Blue Valentine went to T...I'm kind of surprised Blue Valentine went to TWC.
