How Helen Hunt won an Oscar over Helena Bonham Carter in Wings Of A Dove I will never understand.<br /><br />Interesting point you make about "sensitive" male types. Loud, barnstorming musician-types are often favoured but quieter roles are often ignored. Linus Roache in Wings Of A Dove (sorry - lot of love for that film), Geoffrey Rush in Lantana, David Morrissey in Hilary and Jackie, Edward Norton in The Painted Veil...all worthy of Oscar love. I know there are other reasons why these particular performances might not have been nominated, but there does seem to be a definite bias against male roles of this kind.<br /><br />I would say though that James McAvoy didn't deserve to be nominated for Atonement. He's not bad but he's been much better elsewhere and, for me at least, the story was all about the three ladies.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411239841812587325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-2299674593787496602009-07-23T15:35:09.663-04:002009-07-23T15:35:09.663-04:00I didn't like the trailer.

I like that the film doesn't look like some giant lavish Hollywood affair, but actually a smaller international type of affair.<br /><br />I actually think Cornish looks fabulous in the role and actually reminded me a bit of Nicole Kidman. I'm glad she actually has a bit of size on her. As great as the movie was, the daughters in <i>Pride & Prejudice</i> were incredibly unrealistic.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-27013367461051200472009-07-22T23:56:54.899-04:002009-07-22T23:56:54.899-04:00I've just seen Un Conte de Noel, I searched fo...I've just seen Un Conte de Noel, I searched for write ups in the blog and found an interview you linked with Desplechin.
