Yes, Mira Sorvino actually won the lion's share of the precursors that year. Kate rallied at the end with BAFTA and SAG, but it wasn't enough to overcome the momentum Sorvino had built up throughout the season.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78562523788119017252008-12-15T13:48:00.000-05:002008-12-15T13:48:00.000-05:00I felt Hathaway did a very good job in "Rachel.." ...I felt Hathaway did a very good job in "Rachel.."

If they can snub Peter O'Toole eight times, don't think they can't do something similar to her, especially considering that there's in theory more "time" down the road to vote for her. I think it was a big tactical error to release both of her films in December so close to one another, and without the critics backing at least one of these performances, she could see herself the odd one out again losing out to the more pre-cursored favorite (which has happened to her in all of her prior nominations, except maybe her first one).

(he's Clint in his acting farewell...supposedly)<BR/><BR/>"And the Oscar goes to...Mickey Rourke!" (critics love him)<BR/><BR/>"And the Oscar goes to...Leonardo DiCaprio!" (leo deserves it and we all want Jack and Rose to win the same night :))<BR/><BR/>"And the Oscar goes to...Sean Penn!" (very plausible)<BR/><BR/>"And the Oscar goes to...Frank Langella!"

I LOVED that movie and its been one of my tops of the year since February.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'm coming down with a serious case of "Slumdog" fatigue. It was a great film, but I'm never one to fully embrace the crtically championed crowd pleasers (The memories of "Juno" are more ingratiating with each passing day). <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I think I'm one of the few people who did not love "Paranoid Park." Van Sant's 'art films' of late, however beautiful, are incredibly patience-trying.
