OMG so much to see in the ...What a wonderful list! OMG so much to see in the next year!!<BR/><BR/>I also found your year by year Best Actress commentary - Jesus, when do you ever sleep?!?! (Of course, I'm angry because I kept hitting 1996 until I realized you'd stopped with 97 and did a few earlier years. Yay for your brilliance concerning La Liz in Virginia Woolf!!)<BR/><BR/>So, I know you're gonna hate me, but when are you going to find time to do the same smart reviews of the Supporting Actress nominees. (Oh, I know you want to see all the films first so get to it!! [insert lots of smiley faces here since I know how much time and energy you've already put in to be so incredibly informed and well versed in movies!!!] but still [one of your fans whines loudly here] And then, of course, I would LOVE to read your take on the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actors and then you could write a book and include it all!!!)<BR/><BR/>So, now my little fun (since you're doing all the work) is to list the 5 I think sound the most interesting from reading blurbs on the movies at imdb.com:<BR/><BR/>Jessica Biel in Nailed (she gets a nail in her head and meets Jake Gyllenhaal??? I'm there.)<BR/><BR/>Claire Danes in Temple Grandin (Claire autistic? I'll be there too!) ((I hope it doesn't go straight to cable on HBO))<BR/><BR/>Helen Mirren in Love Ranch (opposite Joe Pesci?!?! OMG, that sounds tres tres interesting - Joe Pesci?!?!?!)<BR/><BR/>Anna Paquin in Margaret (boy does this sound like it has lots of potential for emoting all over the place plus having Broderick, Ruffalo and Damon in the cast - sounds very intriguing to me)<BR/><BR/>Rachel Weisz in Agora (wtf? reading the summary of this movie on IMDB this doesn't sound like a real "legit" film - I am very curious to hear more - I mean, if the "master" was a man I'd swear this was a gay porn film!)<BR/><BR/>The following are the 5 most "ho hum" possiblities to me:<BR/><BR/>Jennifer Connelly in Creation (I think the story sounds fascinating and I do like Paul Bettany but there is something about Jennifer Connelly that leaves me yawning most of the time)<BR/><BR/>Kirsten Dunst in All Good Things (pretty impressive costars in Langella, Gosling, and Baldwin but this is an actress I usually find shrill and unappealing)<BR/><BR/>Hilary Swank Amelia (there's something so very self-serving about this casting to me and so obvious - why didn't they use Cate Blancett who always makes things interesting? or Tilda Swinton?)<BR/><BR/>Charlize Theron The Burning Plain (I just can't see this being super with Kim Basinger as the Mom)<BR/><BR/>Renee Zellweger My Own Love Song (the combination of her, Whitaker and Nolte does not sound good to me - something seems off and it's probably mostly Zellweger)<BR/><BR/>And these are the five I would most like to see nominated because I love them the most:<BR/><BR/>Laura Linney The Other Man<BR/>Rachel McAdams Time Traveler's Wife<BR/>Michelle Pfeiffer Cheri<BR/>Meryl Streep United Nancy Meyers<BR/>Emily Watson Within the Whirlwind<BR/><BR/>A few other misc notes:<BR/><BR/>Again, why won't someone give Meryl a multiple personality role like Halle Berry's got this year? (This should prove Berry's Oscar was no fluke one way or the other!) These roles can be so much fun to watch when they're done with gusto and surrounded by a decent script! Write one for Meryl!!!<BR/><BR/>I am so glad to see Colin Farrell in another "quality" film (Crazy Heart). I do think he's got lots of potential as a real actor. Being on screen with Duvall and Bridges will improve his profile some more, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>I am a little amazed that Sally Hawkins' movie is called HAPPY EVER AFTERS - is she insisting on only doing "happy" movies in her career? I verified it was NOT another Mike Leigh (I wondered for a second if it was perhaps a sequel? :-) )<BR/><BR/>By God the plot and the cast for BROTHERS sounds so juicy! I mean, Jake and Maguire and Natalie Portman all dramatic and involved in a love triangle! Who wouldn't want to see that?!?!?!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I think the name of the Kate Hudson movie is BIG EYES and is 17 PHOTOS OF ISABEL changing to LOVE & OTHER IMPOSSIBLE PURSUITS or was that its old name?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again Nate!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-26194138094022961722009-03-23T11:34:00.000-04:002009-03-23T11:34:00.000-04:00@ BBats:That song wasn't intended as a comedy sket...@ BBats:<BR/>That song wasn't intended as a comedy sketch.
