mmmmmANGELINA. Mangelina. I'm so curious to see Salt now that Jolie is staring me down from the poster (she does so more intimidatingly there -- the gaze is more benevolent in real life) and I'm reminded that Salt was originally written for a male star. Will we see any telltale signs of that gender-switch in the movie?Oh link it, link it real good

I don't know what's up with that category placement for Laurent. Granted I didn't love Basterds as much as most, but other than Waltz I thought Kruger was the best in show...she and Laurent are obviously supporting. But oh well, whatever. She wasn't getting a nomination anyway.
And why the hell doesn't Desplat have that wretched Oscar yet?
PS. Nathaniel, did you see Kristin Chenoweth's movie INTO TEMPTATION? I'm seeing it tonight and refuse to check RT, but just wanted to know if you did, and what you thought.
i have not. i didn't even know about it!
I don't understand why they would place Laurent as lead if they want even a chance at a nomination. I loved her performance, but I felt her role was more supporting.
Lead or Supporting she's still not going to get a nomination at least Oscar wise, she might get one at the GG.
A shock to see Laurent promoted to Best Actress. That will make the category that much tougher in my mind. She is fabulous in that film.
Anybody else think Weinstein is just doing this to free up the competition a little since he's already got all the Nine ladies plus Julianne Moore campaigning for supporting?
DEAN -- "bingo" to quote inglourious basterds itself.
Except putting her in lead puts her up against another Weinstein lady, Marion Cotillard. Poor Laurent is screwed either way.
From a performance perspective, keeping her in supporting would have been more sensible, I think.
Go Laurent!
I love the performance, from what I've seen, it is the best female turn of the year.
Ok, not the best, since we've got the superb, compelling spellbinding and wonderful Carey Mulligan.
Maybe I'm too enthusiastic, but how can anyone beat her? Haven't seen Sidibe or Cornish, but Carey's turn is so magnificent that I really can't see anybody topping her.
I wonder what Angelina and so many actresses are going to look like 20 years form now, after plumping up their lips beyond repair. Really!
