As ..."It's not her work, per se, it's HER!"<BR/><BR/>So true. As Nat said too, she's given one great perf, one good one and a bunch of perfs that are neither here nor there in mostly bad movies (<I>The Core</I> was one of the worst disaster movies I've ever seen). Until she plays against type successfully she won't be seen as much more.<BR/><BR/>But, i agree that she's not actually ugly. She can be quite pretty in an unconventional way (which is almost better). But when she tries to be all girly girl (like the photo spread) it looks odd and offputting.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1152260003821878272006-07-07T04:13:00.000-04:002006-07-07T04:13:00.000-04:00I cannot believe this thing has 2 Best Actress osc...I cannot believe this thing has 2 Best Actress oscars.<BR/><BR/>She's vile, and I hate her.<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1152234136148218442006-07-06T21:02:00.000-04:002006-07-06T21:02:00.000-04:00Oh totally.

Plus, remember how she kept going over the music, in a really obnoxious way? She is no Adrien Brody. <BR/><BR/>I like Field much more, too... it's just that the correlation is a good reason to believe Swank will never be nominated again.<BR/><BR/>Sally Field's speech was kind of endearing, actually. I think people refer to it in terms of "aw cute, I can't believe she said that." Cause come on, it was only the truth. They did obviously like her A LOT and she seemed a little surprised by that. Whereas Swank just kept going and going with shit no one wanted to hear.<BR/><BR/>You know, I think I am actually more annoyed by the Skank than by the Berry.

I seriously doubt she'll be nominated for 'The Black Dahlia' because (as Vincent noted) dubious Brian De Palma's at the helm and hey, if he can't lead Pacino and Pfeiffer (a superior actress whom I absolutely love) to nominations, I doubt he can direct Swank to one.
