When I watch great actors like Streep and Hoffman, I always wonder about the different places they studied. A good acting school is worth it’s weight in gold. The key is to find one that caters to your individual needs. Not only do you need the basic tools for auditioning, scene study and the like, but you need a curriculum that works with whatever your schedule may be. Whether you work all day, go to high school or care for your kids, not everyone can study in the traditional way. Another acting program that works this way is Film Connection. http://www.film-connection.com/Acting.html The Film Connection’s acting program is affiliated with Joe Anthony studios and fetures valuable one-on-one mentoring. They are also available to anyone living in the United States and have financial aid assistance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18275261784452178992009-01-10T18:52:00.000-05:002009-01-10T18:52:00.000-05:00Kate Winslet was amazing in The Reader I think she...Kate Winslet was amazing in The Reader I think she will, but I think Viola Davis should win she was brilliant in Doubt.

In any case, the Spaniard is a Latin, just like the French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian.<BR/><BR/>Spain is in Europe! I do not want to invite angry and ugly disputes, but we (Spaniards) do not describe ourselves as such. When we come to the USA, we are described as "White/Causian".<BR/><BR/>Thank you! I hope I am not offending anybody. "Latino/a" is a very confusing term. Central and South Americans should decide how they want to be referred to as well. It is very mixed down there, just like in the USA. It is also important to notice that being "white" is ethnical as well because it relates to a common background and ancestry, a European one. We (white people) should be more sensitive to this matter when approaching our vision of other cultures and our own.Pabletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560188895716384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-35592908626798464642009-01-10T11:20:00.000-05:002009-01-10T11:20:00.000-05:00My Current Ballot: Penelope Cruz, Vicky Christina ...My Current Ballot: <BR/><BR/>Penelope Cruz, Vicky Christina Barcelona <BR/>Viola Davis, Doubt <BR/>Catherine Deneuve, A Christmas Tale <BR/>Ronit Elkabetz, The Band's Visit <BR/>Frances McDormand, Burn After Reading <BR/><BR/>.... although I have yet to see The Wrestler and Rachel Getting Married, so Tomei and DeWitt could unseat some of those women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36867663519357645682009-01-10T10:54:00.000-05:002009-01-10T10:54:00.000-05:00So what about Hanna Schygulla?
