Cate’s on the cover of Esquire, the only woman with all the big guys as having the best perfromances of the year.

While admitting yesterday that he “got played a little” and “was not as careful as I should have been” in posting the since-discredited story about a Weinstein plan to push I’m Not There’s Cate Blanchett in the Best Actress instead of Best Supporting Actress category, David Poland was correct in saying that Blanchett’s Dylan turn “is one of the five best performances on the year in all categories, male or female or dog or cat, if you were going to pick five…it is easily the current crowning achievement of her career.”

Congratulations to all nominees and to BP, AJ and Plan B who made AMH possible.

It is heartwarming to read that, unlike Sam, who has yet to acknowledge the Forbes crowned tabloid queen award of JA and is obsessed with BO receipts, there are many recognizing the value and the quality of AMH’s story: about a child’s father which had to be told by the child’s mother, because of their love for Adam. So congratulations to all.

It must me I want them to make you happy.oops!! sorry tracy aka cate fan.

Y’know, i’m thinking that neither the director nor anyone else working on AMH could have told any actress portraying Marrianne, how to execute that role.

As many actors have said and as Angie herself has said, its the most nerve-racking thing to play a living person, because the person is right there, in the here and now, staring at and critiquing your effort (no matter how nice everyone is about it). So it must be quite a head trip to move beyond all that and ‘get into character’.

So for Angie to have given such an overwhelming performance, one that is being hailed even by some of the harshest and most jaded critics, says quite a lot about her abilities as an actor.

It must really extract quite a bit of mental energy to have caried that off so seemingly naturally.

That’s why i have nothing but contempt for those who want to belittle this film and Angie’s performance, even going so far as to diss Marriane - for what? Sheer jealousy, envy and hate, i tell you. For absolutely no other reason - never mind the spurious reasons they spout.

Because we know that there are females out there who care about nothing and no one, and whose lives are only held together by the hatred and envy they have for anyone who appears to have it all…………….fabulous looks, a beautiful, attentive, supportive man, fabulous wealth, the most beautiful baby in the world, being so fortunate that even ‘blind’ adoptions turn out to be beautiful also, talented, famous, well loved and, when everyone else is struggling to keep obesity at bay, her ‘problem’ is an inability to become fat.

LOL. You know what, ya gotta feel sorry for haterz.

Congratulations on the nominations to Angie, Brad, and screenplay writer. Angie ALL THE WAY!!!!
I wish Michael Winterbottom had gotten a nod for Director as I thought he also did an award winning job. Anyway, there are lots more to come so hopefully he will get recognized too.
Thanks Jared.

Gloat, until you can’t gloat anymore. You know the next tactic for the trolls is to down play these awards and say they are not the Oscars, or the GG. Well, we know what they are. And it is wonderful news. I am gloating right along with you. Peace

Angelina Jolie is already attracting movie awards attention.

Angie will for sure be nominated for sag, gg, and oscar. As far as I can see Jesse James will get a nom for cinematograhy, and Affleck will most likely get best supporting. As much as I hate to say it , Brad performance will most likely get ignored once again. I hope a Mighty Heart or Jesse James gets best pic, but I don’t think that will happen. It would be nice if Angie won this year and presented the award to Brad next year.

So well stated. JJ has so many fans who can write so beautifully. And are so articulate. I wonder why we spend som much time responding to the trolls and haters who are neither. Save your words for praising Angie and Brad and anyone else of substance who deserves it. Peace :smile:

curly—where have you been, sure mmissed you :-) A great post. I am so happy for MP as well, she wrote the book b/c she wanted to keep DP’s memory alive and what he believed in.
Remember in one interview she even mentioned she wasn’t sure if she wanted the book to be made in to a movie until she met with Brad.
I am very happy for all invved including DP’s parents and Adam who will watch this movie one day about his father whom he never met…

CMAR-excellent post. I had forgotten the haters had stooped so low that in order to attack Angie they even attacked MP. Pathetic things…

who saw Parker`s performance who the writer told is in competition with Angie??

sorry What were you talking about??who were you talking with?

I don’t think that the actor’s performances in TAOJJ are being ignored. As a matter of fact, all of the reviews I’ve read have praised both Pitt and Affleck for their performances, but unfortunately there are only a handful of people who have seen it. How are the masses ( and even most of Hollywood) supposed to support a film that they have yet to see? I maintain my usual sentiment that Warners did a shoddy job of marketing that film. Plan B produced it but unfortunately they had a standing contract with WB to “promote” that film. Then again, it’s all over and done with. I think the general consensus is that Warners just totally deprived the public and themselves a very praise-worthy movie. I know people will say it would’ve been a long shot, but if you ask me, that movie could’ve been the Departed of 2007 if it was marketed the right way.
