Done and dusted for another year ... and all very predictable. Delighted Woody got another one for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, but I still don't want to see THE IRON LADY. Harvey Weinstein scores again!Best female performance not
nominated:
Charlize Theron YOUNG ADULT.Most over-looked male performance: Dominic Cooper in THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE - perhaps the film just was not good enough or not enough support behind it.
My star of the night: Glenn Close looking absolutely sensational ! She won on the red carpet ...
Surely for consideration next year: Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Tilda Swinton ... and Michelle Williams will be another contender ...
I agree with all your comments, but Fassbender and Gosling should have been under consideration THIS year! It chafes me that Streep now has 3 Oscars and Glenn Close has 0. Its not that I think "Albert Nobbs" actually looks good (neither does "Iron Lady"), but how can that tally be justified?
ReplyDeleteIts ironic that Meryl got her latest for a film that polarises viewers but is not very good by any standards .... I would have thought it was much more of a challenge for Williams to take on Marilyn Monroe than for Streep to mimic a near-forgotten British prime minister.
ReplyDeleteCarey Mulligan and Tilda Swinton should also have been on this year's list - but Meryl, George, Brad etc are all over-exposed now so they should have a quiet year or two and leave the field to the newer talent!
