Carey Mulligan I was worried about not liking (I'm always hit-and-miss with the upcoming young women ie. Scarlett 2003 HIT, Ellen Page 2007 MISS), but this looks like some fine fine work... Peter Sarsgaard is beyond dreamy and I'm glad he's finally got a rake role deserving of his yummy good looks (and yes, let's just all pretend he was nominated for Shattered Glass - apart from Robbins, I can't even remember who was cited that year).amir_uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51799541806562309952009-07-18T02:20:17.740-04:002009-07-18T02:20:17.740-04:00I think Director did not select the fit person for...I think Director did not select the fit person for his character.Character Educationhttp://www.iamgoingtocollege.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34695571911270464832009-07-18T01:50:54.924-04:002009-07-18T01:50:54.924-04:00I'm hope Mulligan is better in this movie than...I'm hope Mulligan is better in this movie than she was on stage in The Seagull.

Mulligan's role is by far, more "Oscarable" role than Hawkins (Audrey Hepburn, Julie Christie, Catherine Burns, Candy Clark...). They love the classic young girl growing up for different aspects.<br />2. Since the beginning of the season Hawkins had a LOT of detractors who think her performance was overrated and her character too annonying. For Mulligan, I heard nothing but raves since Sundance, even people who didn't like the film admire Mulligan's work.<br />3. Physical appearence: Mulligan has a better "look" at AMPAS.<br />4. Hollywood conexions: Mulligan has four films this year with famous people: "The Greatness", "Brothers", "Public Enemies" and "Never Let Me Go". Also her raved work in the stage production in "The Seagull". Hawkins was still an unknown actress for american audiences last year and her only big card was Mike Leigh.<br />5. For a strange reason, Leigh's comedy films were underappreciated at AMPAS.<br /><br />Said that. I think the nominations would be:<br /><br />LOCK: Best Actress (With Cornish are the only raved performances right now)<br /><br />LIKELY: Best Supporting Actor (For Molina)<br />Best Adapted Screenplay<br /><br />POSSIBLE: Best Supporting Actress (Maybe "Sorry for didn't nominate you last year" Sally Hawkins)<br />Best PictureGDLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-28596115045199295602009-07-17T14:04:07.217-04:002009-07-17T14:04:07.217-04:00carl i assume it's more the films themselves (...<b>carl</b> i assume it's more the films themselves (she's not in many oscar bait films) and that unless they're already acclimated to you as a performer (like they are to winslets and the swanks and the zellwegers and the streeps) your name just isn't going to register as an automatic FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-10643853952998888702009-07-17T13:54:20.318-04:002009-07-17T13:54:20.318-04:00is it possible carey mulligan could be this years ...is it possible carey mulligan could be this years sally hawkins.<br /><br />nat that one will anger me until i die.mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-28834529857600008772009-07-17T12:44:31.341-04:002009-07-17T12:44:31.341-04:00Christ, what an inexpressive, lackluster trailer. ...Christ, what an inexpressive, lackluster trailer.
