So, she have chances of another nomination, imo. I must confess I have no clue of who is winning this year, Pfeiffer? No, the reviews weren't good and the release is so early that probably will hurt her chances, afterall Away from her and La vie en rose had good reviews. Cruz? No, she won last year. Swank? She isn't Ingrid Bergman. So, I suppose is all between Carey Mulligan, Audrey Tautou cause the trailer isn't bad and she looks good (people is blind with her hate for Tautou and can't see that she has strong chances if the film is any good) and maybe Brenda Blethyn if her performance in London River is enough good. I have Rinko Kikuchi in my predictions but I don't know if the film will be released this year, my reasons for having her is the extraordinary work of Isabel Coixet with actresses: Cruz in Elegy, Coixet in My life without me and Secret life of words and Lily Taylor in Things I never told you.Logand Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59232201441036896402009-04-05T12:47:00.000-04:002009-04-05T12:47:00.000-04:00@ Josh:Emily Mortimer's role in Shutter Island is ...@ Josh:<BR/><I>Emily Mortimer's role in </I>Shutter Island<I> is a supporting role.</I><BR/><BR/>Which is why I'm regretting the pick. ;-) But we'll see...Paul Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223551781533342142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-58439928831852334522009-04-05T08:33:00.000-04:002009-04-05T08:33:00.000-04:00There's nothing to surprise at Penelope.

But the French are expecting to hit again like they did with Marion Cotillard and this time things don't look so good. <BR/><BR/>The main problem is that this is probably one of this year lead actresses' baitiest roles... And Audrey Tatou has everything to her favour. And with such high expectations, I'm afraid the movie can't meet them... (like Chéri)<BR/><BR/>The film premieres in France in April 22; then we will begin to see people's reaction but some french critics seem to think it's too lightweight, Tautou doesn't seem able to disappear into character and some even refer problems with Anne Fontaine writing the screenplay with Tautou in mind and afterwards directing the movie...<BR/><BR/>I was counting on Tautou hitting big - it was one of my five predicted ones a month ago but now... I don't know. <BR/><BR/>The trailer looks fine, doesn't it?

It's a two-converging-stories script, and Laurent's segment are all about her. Tarantino said it is the main part. He also says he decided do beef it up the character from the original screenplay. You can find the link at note 35 in IB's wikipedia page.<BR/><BR/>Wait and see: I feel like this performance could be something really genius. Not only because QT is very good with actors, but because his female characters are outstanding.

I don't hate her, but she's over-recognized. Someone correctly referenced her period flops. She's a contemporary actress (again, just like Sally Field). And she's playing a pilot who mysteriously disappears. That isn't "Boy's Don't Cry" or "Million Dollar Baby." Still, if she physically transforms herself and we don't recognize her then I'll have to eat humble pie.<BR/><BR/>Cruz. She just won an Oscar. Someone mentioned that she's not fawned over by the Academy like Cate/Kate. It would just seem like over-recognition.<BR/><BR/>Streep (J&J). Apparently, "directed by Nora Ephron" didn't scare enough people away. Obviously, Streep doesn't need a great director to get nominated. Still, I can't get passed Ephron, even if Streep is imitating an iconic figure. I agree with whoever said they'll push Adams for leading. And pull something like they did with "The Hours" ... <BR/><BR/>... Can someone explain to me how the Academy got to decide Winslet couldn't be nominated for supporting for "The Reader" but Julianne Moore could be nominated for supporting for "The Hours"?Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.com
