Ziyi Zhang: wo ...Performances that where left out.<br /><br />Ziyi Zhang: wo hu cang long, Hidden Dragon and The House of Flying Daggers. Proving in both films that beauty is in itself a weapon.<br /><br />Although Catherine Zeta-Jones may have won for Chicago, her turn in Traffic was far better.<br /><br />Same with Kate Winslet. The Reader was nothing special, neither was her performance. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Revolutionary Road are both better films and performances.<br /><br />Marion Cotillard is tres belle, but in the LE Vie en Rose, her face is almost unrecognizable, but it doesn't hinder her performance, it simply adds to it.<br /><br />Penolope Cruz has not had too many good films in Hollywood, that is not the case in her native Spain. All the work she has done with Pedro Almodovar is fantastic, from All about my Mother to Broken Embraces. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a start.<br /><br />Gwenyth Paltrow - The Royal Tannenbaums<br /><br />Marisa Tomei who has show that she has simply gotten better with age. Case in point: Before the Devil Knows Your Dead is a film that shows two brother fighting over everything including a woman; and when she as looks as good as Tomei, why not. The Same beauty adds to The Wrestler as well.<br /><br />Kelly MacDonald was one of the better performances in Gosford Park, and added some much need humanity to No Country for Old Men.number 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/05108475477878548557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-9010845385340492002010-01-15T00:39:30.458-05:002010-01-15T00:39:30.458-05:00There are probably at least ten actresses on the l...There are probably at least ten actresses on the list I would've easily replaced with Sissy Spacek for "In The Bedroom".<br /><br />But then, I seem to value that movie a lot more than others do. Maybe because I'm a short story writer and my interests are in quiet moments and milking every word of a story? Too many screenplays and nominated acting performances are just TALK TALK TALK over and over again. I wish sometimes that films would just shut up.

At the age of SIXTY!<br /><br />I simply adore her in Adaptation, Angels in America, The Devils wears Prada and love her in Julie&Julia.<br /><br />I'd like to add her in "A Prairie Home Companion" together with Lily Tomlin and Lily in "I Heart Huckabees", too. Just awesome!<br /><br />And Felicity Huffman was strongly impressing in Transamerica.
