Ellen Makes It Right With Brad Pitt

dina #1 @ 01/18/2008 at 7:37 pm I apologize if this has already been posted. I just returned home and saw this. Of course my blood started to boil. He makes one damn trip to Darfur and he is the messenger of Peace. And People magazine is at the ready to post everything little thing he does. Angie has gone to Darfur several times and to Serra Leone and other dangerous places when people were being slaughtered and not a word. I can’t stand this frucker.

Oh dont worry about it, its not really an award, its like job designation short of Goodwill Ambassador. Since they are advocating peace, Clooney , just like M douglas, become like spokesman or as they call it messenger of peace on behalf of the UN. It just like they speak on behalf of the UN but not as formal as being an ambassador.

Angie cannot be chosen as Messenger of Peace anymore, because she has been working for UN already as UNHCR Goodwill ambassador.

OMFG What are you talking about?

you didn’t even watch the whole thing or you would know why James said Clive Owen.

wow, the Oscar roundtable video is so good. They had a lot of fun doing it. Last year Brad did one was very good too. Angie looks pregnant to me in this video.

And George has to mention Brad again. LOL

Here is a critic who loves AJ’s performance in AMH

Best Actress
Julie Christie, Away From Her
Julie Delpy, 2 Days in Paris
Angelina Jolie, A Mighty Heart
Nicole Kidman, Margot at the Wedding
Sienna Miller, Interview

I think Jolie and Christie are the only ones with a shot of actually being recognized by the Academy, but I think the other three women all give brilliant performances. If this were the actual nomination list, it might be the most beautiful class of Best Actress nominees in the history of the awards.

I want to single out Julie Delpy for not only giving a brilliant, nuanced and honest portrait in 2 Days in Paris, but also for writing it, directing it, editing it. To be able to give such a wonderful performance while also being able handle all of those technical duties is nothing short of amazing. The film is basically her own personal version of Annie Hall and she is most definitely Woody Allen, right down to the thick glasses she wears throughout the film. I first fell in love with Delpy in Before Sunrise when she was the young and hopeful Celine and here she plays the antithesis of that character, someone jaded and stuck in a relationship that she can’t quite figure out. The relationship works, but does it work well enough? The film is also hysterically funny and not just in the cliché Ugly American goes to Paris vein. I cannot wait to see what Delpy does next, either behind the camera or in front of it.

That being said, it is Angelina Jolie who gives the best performance in this category. I don’t really care about the politics behind it, nor do I care about what she does in her private life – okay, maybe I do, I’m human. But the most important thing is what goes on the screen and what Jolie does is pretty remarkable. Not only does she nail a difficult accent (a mixture of French and Cuban), but she remains so tightly wound throughout the entire picture that we just want her to scream and when she finally does, it is so heartbreaking and relieving at the same time; we lament the fact that she is upset, but we are so glad the misery of waiting is over. Jolie makes Marianne Pearl more than just the widow of Daniel Pearl; she makes her into a person we can all relate to, someone whose pain and anguish we never want to suffer through.

Julie Christie or Marion Cotillard might get the win, but I think Jolie’s performance will be the best remembered.

Georgelina for the win @ 01/18/2008 at 8:21 pm
