Hathaway's looking more and more like a safe bet, too. Between the sudden support for Frozen River, Sally Hawkins' likely Globe win and Blanchett's surge of buzz, the only contender I think she has a better chance than is Kristin Scott Thomas, who could easily pull ahead as critics' awards are announced.<BR/><BR/>Her film has gotten crappy reception in the US. Gran Turino is already starting to overshadow Changeling. And, on top of everything, she couldn't even get a nomination for A Mighty Heart last year.<BR/><BR/>It's too soon to call, but I can't imagine Jolie getting in anymore.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622435513032131426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-9352982561738957792008-12-04T19:21:00.000-05:002008-12-04T19:21:00.000-05:00The NBR gave an award to Roman Polanski?

A sane person would now that acting is her profession and it is not her fault that some critics praise her to high heavens. Surely Blanchett does not force these people to rave about her. Blame the critics, not Blanchett. It is unfair that she is the object of vilification in this site when she is just doing her job. Maybe we should write a petition to producers, asking only to cast her in idiotic movies. That way we would stop hearing about her as a possible Oscar contender, but she would still be earning a living.<BR/><BR/>Second, people who read this website should read all the posts before writing a comment. I have gone through all the posts and there was no mention that nat ridiculed Blanchett. Think before you react. Anon explained that the childish comment was directed to a comment made by nat that may fuel another word war.<BR/><BR/>Let us give it a break. If Blanchett is once again a frontrunner at the Oscars, maybe we should pause and think that it is not her doing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-21338129600248636512008-12-04T18:13:00.000-05:002008-12-04T18:13:00.000-05:00Nat,Why do you hate America?

I thought he was obviously being sarcastic, which yes sometimes doesn't go well in print, but I don't see why he should get jumped on again. He obviously likes Cate Blanchett, but he's sick of seeing her everywhere. I've certainly been there. <BR/><BR/>Although he's probably never been sick of Nicole Kidman, I was there after the infamous divorce, she was everywhere and being signed on to every movie it seemed. I just couldn't stand hearing the same whiny interview about how her wonderful marriage just went poof without any warning, how she didn't think she could do ______ justice, so she would almost call up the director and tell him/her to get another actress because there's no way that she could do the movie justice, and of course the biggest lie of all that she was going to cut back on the amount of movies that she made because of her family while busily signing up for what seemed like every movie that was going to be made during that time. I got over it especially after she entered her slump, but man she drove me crazy with her whining and insecurity in her interviews. I'm sure that being in that industry has to take its toll, but man I didn't want to see all that low self esteem come out that way. Of course, I still roll my eyes since she still tells the same lie about taking time off and not taking time off, (something that I think has something to do with her insecurities), but at least she seems in a better place now.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I've always had overexposure temporarily kill my love for Blanchett, Zellweger, and even Winslet lately because of the possible category fraud and killing my winning the actress contest. :) It passes after they take a break, but even if I really love someone, I still have to scream "enough" if it seems like they're everywhere especially when they do that whole obvious Oscar baiting thing. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if I admitted that I can get sick of Kidman, Blanchett, and Winslet at certain places especially Awards Daily, I would be flamed, so that's another reason to love your site.Rich Aunt Pennybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005421089633289280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-72057342014607262102008-12-04T17:34:00.000-05:002008-12-04T17:34:00.000-05:00Since when is being called pretty offensive????
