Personally, horror was overlooked once again as Shawnee Smith was denied a nod for her performance in the first of several "Saw" films. Other than Jigsaw, she stood out in a bloody-good way and helped start a franchise that just won't die. We'll see if Chris Rock has what it takes next.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-56204506081213151682020-01-12T11:21:09.918-06:002020-01-12T11:21:09.918-06:00I think my top three here could be argued back and...I think my top three here could be argued back and forth, and depending on day and mood could move. But Moreno is so good in this role, and it's such a difficult role...and it's her first time out that I find it extraordinary. I think she's probably always my winner, with Winslet and Staunton flip-flopping in second and third.<br /><br />You feel about Julie Delpy the way I feel about a few others.

I thought she did as much as was possible with a character I barely tolerated. <br /><br />Maria Full of Grace at least for me isn't a film that you enjoy but I admired her work. Particularly for a first timer she was extraordinary.<br /><br />But I would have handed this to Imelda Staunton for Vera Drake, again a film I found little enjoyment in but she was just phenomenal. Without flash she makes Vera an indentifiable woman who you feel for throughout the film. <br /><br />As to who I'd fill those two empty slots with, it sure as hell wouldn't be Julie Delpy an actress whose appeal has always eluded me as has any fondness for any of the Sunrise/Sunset movies which I found insufferable bores. <br /><br />Instead I'd go with Jena Malone's sly work in the comedy/drama Saved! and Elizabeth Banks in the indie Heights. That was one of my favorite pictures of this year, it should be better known. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-47461385548788520102020-01-11T19:39:43.339-06:002020-01-11T19:39:43.339-06:00If, for painful fun, you want to catch up with som...If, for painful fun, you want to catch up with some of Winslet's misfires, check out Movie 43 (2013) or Collateral Damage (2016).
