Angelina Jolie receives 2007 Golden Globe nomination

.
When Angelina Jolie was a guest @ Charlie Rose, she was articulate about her role as Marianne Pearl in the critically acclaimed AMH. Even then, she was being buzzed for an Oscar Nomination. There is no question that she can act.
.
Golden Globe is a start. Congratulations !

Look Helena,

Julie was wonderful in Away From Her, but so was Angie. Oscar will be Julie or Angie, although Marion was quite wonderful as well. I think Julie is going to win because of her age. If you really, objectively saw Angie’s performance in AMH, you will also see the beauty in her performance. I don’t know you, but you seemed to have your personal feelings against Angie cloud your judgment of her acting.

Hey she is already a winner by being nominated.and also a winner because of Brad and children on having a lovely family.

#103: If they knew Brad so well, how come they’re surprised, no make that shocked that he chucked his ball and chain for Angie? If they can tell what he’s like, how come they didn’t think he was going to stay with Angie up to this time? Didn’t they keep predicting the end of this so called fling three years ago?

Please, you know Brad like you do you your own man which is also bull since you don’t have a man.

He’s never once tried outshadowing Angie. Not one time because he steps back and gives her the stage. Do you see the pride in his face when he escorts her anywhere or do you just disregard his actions cause it pains you? He won’t stand in her way and every award she gets, especially for AMH is a tribute to his foresight in casting her. He could have appeared in the same movie if he wanted to since it’s his production. Who can say no to him in that instance?

Angie likewise has toned down her looks and her demeanor for Brad. If you’ve ever read the Gift of the Magi, you would know what these two are about.For them, love trumps everything. This is not a Star is Born. They’ll both bow out of the limelight before that happens. So please, if you think that’s what’ gonna split them up, you’d better not bet on it. You’ll lose just like with every bet you trolls have been making for the last three years. Better stick to delusions. You’re no good at analysis or predictions.

Geez, he doesn’t even dress in his golden boy garb anymore. He dresses in jeans and t-shirts with his ugly hat most of the time. Is that the guy who’s vanity far outweighs his pride in his woman?

#155 yeah!same oh ,same oh,

Man tita, you seem to take this crap really personally.

Hmmm, George Clooney got nominated? For a not really outstanding performance?

Gee, Brad, maybe you should take lessons from GC on as*-kissing so that you could be nominated too. George is so wonderful at doing politics, he gets a freakin’ peace award for going to Darfur once, whereas Angelina goes to more dangerous places and she gets accused of fame-wh*ring. Sheesh, maybe both Brad and Angie should hire Clooney’s publicist.

HEY, us ‘deluded’ people had faith that she would be nominated for a Golden Globe award and SHE was. So, I guess our ‘delusions’ are not so delusional after all, eh?

Noticed I said the word ‘win’ and I’m not talking about her nomination. It was obvious she’d get nominated because of the weak year. I mean Foster and Blanchett got in as well and their films got mixed reviews.

++++++++++++++++++
Helena thats pathetic, what weak year are you talking about?? We all know she didnt have the best year but that’s rediculous if you think she’s be nominated cos of that. She’s the best end of. Dont find yourself and _________ an explaination for her nod. You and your idol are losers forever! Deal with it!!!

The one thing that this year has shown is that no one is a lock. Julie Christie, Marion C., Ellen Page and yes, even Angelina have been given awards for their performances by different organizations.

And some people may not have a clue who Julie Christie is because of the person’s age vs. Christie’s age. She hasn’t been working alot in recent years and she was huge in the years she was with Warren Beatty. I happen to think she was outstanding in Away From Her. I also think that Marion C. was outstanding in La Vie En Rose and that Angelina was outstanding in AMH. Cate did a fine job in Elizabeth, but, the movie wasn’t as well reviewed or received as the first. I haven’t seen The Brave One, so I can’t comment. But, Jodie’s terrific in everything. So, I’m sure was in The Brave One.

I remember reading from a column of Ruben Napales, who watched AMH at Cannes, to quote him ( from Philippine Daily Inquirer dated 5/25/07:

“…After the last of the closing credits rolled & the lights went back on, a packed audience gave a standing ovation to Angelina…& the key talents of the film. Angelina might have had a very strong shot at being Cannes Best Actress but since the film is entered out of competition, she is not eligible.”

Majority of the critics really praised her performance.

To quote a Washington Post staff writer named Ann Hornaday:

“…Jolie is a star of such super-stratospheric proportions that the chances of her disappearing into a character role would seem slim at best. But it turns out that she is the perfect choice to play Mariane, not only because she delivers a restrained, understated performance but because her persona as a citizen of the world — as a U.N. representative, activist and mother — so seamlessly meshes with the global consciousness that the Pearls represent. She blends just as seamlessly with “A Mighty Heart’s” fine ensemble of supporting actors, including Panjabi and Will Patton as U.S. consul Randall Bennett.(Mariane’s quietly appalled gaze as Bennett extols the virtues of Pakistan’s notorious interrogation methods is a moment of physical eloquence typical of Jolie’s astute, vanity-free performance.)

Other reviews:

“..The most flattering thing to say about Jolie’s performance is that for the most part, you forget that it’s her. She underplays her megawatt charisma and channels it into a measured performance. She’s mesmerising as she plays Mariane with a dignified calm, even in the face of potentially overwhelming tragedy. Her accent is excellent, replete with mispronunciations and stumbling.”–Zane Henry (11/2/07)

“Jolie blends in beautifully with a large cast. She sports a tricky accent worthy of Meryl Streep, but this is not even remotely a showy role. But few will forget her anguished cry of pain when the terrible truth that Daniel had been beheaded was broadcast over the Internet to the entire world. Beautifully, that same cry of pain is echoed a few minutes later, when Mariane is seen giving birth.
- Michael Giltz ,The Avvocate.com - May 22,2007

“Dramatically, it contains the most impressive performance of Angelina Jolie’s career. she is electric in the part.”
-James Christopher, The Times OnLine – May 24,2007

“Pitt’s partner Angelina Jolie won rave reviews for “A Mighty Heart”, in which she plays the widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was decapitated by Islamic extremists in Pakistan in 2002.”
– Deborah Cole, AFP About France 24-27/05/07

“Jolie’s portrayal of Pearl — who was six months pregnant when her husband was abducted — has been the subject of some controversy due to some mild cosmetic elements — her hair is curlier, her skin slightly darkened to convey the real Mariane Pearl’s Cuban-French heritage — but there’s nothing insensitive or overdone in the mild make-up artistry of the part; the inner performance is what shines out.
- James Rocchi,Cannes Review: A Mighty Heart - May 22nd 2007

“Jolie has a powerful scene in which she lets out a shriek of grief that will be recognized wherever people suffer from terror and loss.”
- By Ray Bennett ,The Hollywood Reporter - May 22, 2007

“Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of Mariane Pearl was very impressive.
I was moved by her performance an incredibly tear jerking and striking moment was Mariane’s reaction in the scene where she received the fateful news. Jolie’s characterization was so powerful and resonant it continued to linger in my mind long after the film’s end.”
- by: Jenny Karakaya, Joblo.com –

“In easily her finest performance, Jolie the pop-culture figure loses herself inside the role of Pearl.”
- Dave Mcoy,MSN Movies

“As Marianne,Angelina Jolie renders an admirably understated,Oscar-calibre performance.”
“she lets one of the most anguished shrieks you’re like to hear this year in American film.”
-EMANUEL LEVY- Film Review

“If Angelina Jolie doesn’t win an award for her portrayal of Mariane Pearl in “A Mighty Heat,” I will be shocked.
The movie was emotionally draining, especially the part where she is told about Daniel’s death. Jolie’s reaction had many in tears and is probably the best performance of her career.”
- SANDY TOMCHO , Times Herald Record -June 1,2007

“Angelina is fantastic as Mariane Pearl, transforming not just her physical appearance but her entire persona.”
-LEXI FEINBERG, Cinema Blend Review June 2,2007

Actually, I’ll go on a limb and say that MOST OF THOSE WRITING THAT SHE DIDN’T DESERVE THIS NOMINATION, NEVER WATCHED A MIGHTY HEART.
