She is good in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and Klute but she always appears to be doing too much to me and her overacting lets her down as she can imbue her line readings with emotional depth. She was just sort of nothing here for me and when she is stuck in a film that I have no love for it was unlikely that I was going to champion her. In such a strong category I am disappointed that she won but with the narrative of her having worked to get the film made for countless years it makes sense why the industry would want to reward her.Catherine Shorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832272773148348531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-72393977676435452202010-08-05T00:05:44.824+02:002010-08-05T00:05:44.824+02:00Haha, I'm just being hard on her because she (...Haha, I'm just being hard on her because she (along with Liv Ullmann) is my favorite actress...I guess I judge her work more harshly than I do that of others, you know? I expect so much of her. Her 'ghostly and self-important' is another actress' 'fantastic' - for me, at least. Bahaha. And she's just so phenomenally moving in those last few scenes...gah I hope I explained that okay, haha!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-86668667381554959652010-08-04T17:50:52.894+02:002010-08-04T17:50:52.894+02:00Well, you're obviously a big Jane-fan! :-)

So, even a "bad" Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning performance is still "good" on some level because really BAD performances don't get nominated for an Oscar. 0 Luises are for performances from Paris Hilton...Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-24129442885714834322010-03-21T18:18:18.697+01:002010-03-21T18:18:18.697+01:00Good writeup!
